Dear Colleagues

 

Hope you all had some combination of a restful and joyful Christmas and New Year break. We have just finished Season 8 of The Cinematologists Podcast and I just wanted to draw your attention to some of the films and people we had the pleasure of talking cinema with in the last few months. We spoke to the loquatious Julian Temple about his documentary Joe Strummer: The Future is Unwritten, Bart Layton about the smart and stylish American Animals. Writer Ellen Cheshire joined us to discuss Jane Campion’s The Piano on its 25th Anniversary, critic and filmmaker Marbelle gave us a round up of the London Film Festival, and we visited the University of Chichester to screen Spike Jonze’s Her thanks to Dr Adam Locks. We are halfway through a partnership with the BFI’s Comedy Genius season with an episode on The Marx Bros. Duck Soup completed and one on Amy Heckerling’s Clueless to come. Our screening of David Lowery’s A Ghost Story was perhaps the most profound and cathartic experience of the season, the audience Q&A turning into somewhat of emotional, existential self-help session.

 

You can listen to all these episodes using various platforms:

 

Website: www.cinematologists.com

We have various screenings/recording planned for the coming semester but if an colleagues might be interested in organising a screening with us please feel free to get in touch.

 

Have a great 2019.

 

Dario Llinares and Neil Fox
