"there are enough ambitious ideas and awe-inspiring aesthetics in it to keep the patient viewer engaged for the long haul": Christopher Nolan's INTERSTELLAR (2014) screens 8pm today at #BFI IMAX https://projectedfigures.com/2014/11/07/interstellar-2014
I've been living at the #BFI lately (no bad thing!). This afternoon: John Carpenter's #TheThing, part of the BFI's SciFiMAX series. Pretty sure I'd never seen this on a big screen before, and here it was on the biggest, Southbank IMAX. 40 years on, the practical FX (& everything else) hold up great.
You cannot doubt my commitment to Sparkle Motion. Just saw #DonnieDarko again on a big screen — first time since it was new. Freaky and creepy and wonderfully weird. Thanks, #BFI!
Just watched a great interview with Martin Scorsese at the BFI.

Snow (1963) - Geoffrey Jones | BFI National Archive — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cl4pJwcE7JI — is the perfect little public information/art film. Driving sound track (a time-shifted version of Sandy Nelson's "Teen Beat") and rapid cut scenes lift it well above the ordinary

BFI's "Greatest Films of All Time"

https://www.bfi.org.uk/sight-and-sound/greatest-films-all-time
I confess to only having watched one of the top 10 films on this list, which is put together mainly be critics and people who work in the film industry. Must rectify that.
On the other hand, I have watched seven of the top 10 films on the IMDB top 250 list…
In 1952, the Sight and Sound team had the novel idea of asking critics to name the […]

It feels like this year's film festival has a lot of films about films
I’m probably not bothering with the London Film Fest (£££), but if I were, I’d definitely check out ‘Fingernails’.
I loved the director’s previous film, ‘Apples’. Also I’m intrigued to know if that writing credit for Sam Steiner is the playwright (of Lemonsx5). If so, yay! 👌🏻

Time for an #introduction
I'm Paul, #music and #nature lover, web developer for the #BFI and #queer far-leftist.
I've had various accounts on the fediverse for maybe six or seven years now, including running the kith.kitchen instance before it got too much for me.
I live in #Leeds UK, I'm occasionally down south for work or family reasons.
And most importantly I have two #cats called Dill and Parsley.
Any #Durham -based #anthrodons and/or #musodons interested in #VisualEthnomusicology #VisualEthnography and so on?
I'm heading for the special screening of my recent feature-length ethnographic documentary Hopa Lide
The screening is on the 28th of June, followed by a round-table discussion on the 29th co-organised with #britishfilminstitute (#BFI) =>

Hearing #ReeceSheersmith talking to Radcliffe and Marconie on the #BBC6Music and how in his free time he'd just been to a Q&A with Dario Argento at the #BFI and was in the middle of binging some of Dario's finest works.
I love how much of a geek he is and how he make no apologies for the joy he has in the things he finds interesting, he should come to #Mastodon, the Geek Social Network!

#BFI article about #Kubrik's 2001 and the invention of the #iPad https://www2.bfi.org.uk/news-opinion/news-bfi/features/did-stanley-kubrick-invent-ipad
The part about the internet at the end is interesting. There is a quote from #ArthurCClarke's #book explaining how up in space Floyd receives hourly news updates.
The writer of the article then explains that the internet means we get new updates more frequently than every hour. However, I'm not sure the internet extends to 'far out in space' so I think every hour is pretty good.

Regarding the Sight and Sound greatest film poll—I am not going to dunk on Chantal Akerman's Jeanne Dielman 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles. It really is an excellent film for reasons that are better set out by others more eloquent than myself. But, at the same time, is it the greatest film of all time? No!
Full list:

Thoroughly recommend adding Herbert Ponting’s ‘The Great White Silence’ to your watch list if you haven’t already — the official record of Captain Scott’s heroic journey to the South Pole and a treasured Blu-ray from The British Film Institute.
