SUMMARY:THE FUTURE OF CINEMA
DESCRIPTION:THE FUTURE OF CINEMA\nPanel discussion with Professor Sarah Atkinson (KCL\, Associate Professor Roy Hanney (SU) and PhD candidate Daniel Bowring presented by Solent University in partnership with Southampton Film Week. \n \nJoin Solent University and Southampton Film Week for a Panel discussion highlighting the exciting theme of “The Future of Cinema.” \nSpeakers: \nDr Roy Hanney \nFrom reel to real: a systematic review of the evolution and relevance of live cinema as a contemporary cinematic experience \nDr. Hanney has published widely on the use of live projects to bridge the divide between higher education and the world of work. More recently\, Roy has turned towards creative talent development and community engagement as an important strand of his research. With a particular interest as a creative practice researcher in the development of community-driven\, immersive\, audio-visual art projects\, he has delivered a number of Arts Council immersive audio-visual experiences in his hometown of Portsmouth\, including Octopuses & Other Sea Creatures (2022)\, and is developing Rituals for Earthly Survival for delivery in 2024. \n“In recent years\, live cinema has emerged as a contemporary mode of experiential entertainment\, offering audiences novel and immersive experiences that extend beyond traditional cinematic boundaries. This systematic literature review aims to identify\, analyse\, and synthesize existing research on live cinema\, with a focus on determining future lines of inquiry\, pinpointing new research questions\, and identifying gaps in the current body of knowledge. A comprehensive search for recent journal articles on the topic yielded 21 primary studies for review. The findings reveal that live cinema events\, such as Secret Cinema and immersive cinematic experiences at venues like the Prince Charles Cinema\, are characterized by their unique blend of film viewing\, interactive elements\, and participatory audience engagement. These events often disrupt conventional viewing strategies\, fostering active fandom and blurring the lines between spectator and performer. However\, despite their popularity\, there are concerns related to branding strategies\, commercial culture\, and the authenticity of the experience. Furthermore\, the studies underscore the importance of the communal aspect of these events\, the emotional investment they elicit\, and the specialized relationship between the audience and the text. In conclusion\, while live cinema offers a rich avenue for experiential entertainment research\, there remains a need for further exploration of its economic implications\, its impact on traditional cinema\, and the broader cultural shifts driving its popularity. Future research should also delve deeper into audience perceptions\, the role of technology\, and the sustainability of this entertainment mode.” \nDaniel Bowring BA (Hons.) MA PGCLTHE FHEA \nPost-Pandemic Intermediality – The Convergence of Theatre and Cinema  \nDaniel is currently undertaking a PhD at Solent University in Southampton and whose research surrounds intermediality\, the relationship between live and digital performance. Daniel studied his Bachelor of Arts degree at Solent University reading Film and Television Studies and then went on to complete a Masters degree in Theatre Directing at the University of East London. He has also completed a Post Graduate Certificate for Learning and Teaching in Higher Education for Theatre and Performing Arts at Rose Bruford College and has obtained a fellowship to the Higher Education Academy. \nDaniel has worked both as a performer and a theatre director and produced several theatre productions. Having had experience in both theatre and film\, this has built the foundations for his PhD research project. On the back of completing his Masters degree during the height of the Covid pandemic\, it became apparent that an investigation into how film and theatre came together during Covid and the effects the pandemic had on them warranted a PhD research project. Daniel hopes to complete his PhD and use his research findings to teach at university level. \n“This talk\, Post-Pandemic Intermediality – The Convergence of Theatre and Cinema\,  examines more closely the specific relationship between theatre and cinema during the pandemic through the mediatisation of social culture and the uses of technology. This talk questions now that society is in what could be considered a post-pandemic era\, whether there is a greater shift in how theatre and cinema relate and work together and whether any of the methods used during the pandemic have now firmly established themselves as credible possibilities of creation\, accessibility and immersion beyond traditional theatre and cinema. The pandemic increased society’s reliability on technology and media\, with the increase in streaming services\, particularly in cinema\, and the need for more accessibility\, theatre has started to adopt many of the already established cinematic conventions such as dedicated streaming platforms and tailor-made immersive experiences. The pandemic has very much bridged the gap between theatre and cinema and creatives are now beginning to establish a hybrid relationship between theatre and cinema as a more conventional mode of practice. This talk showcases these findings undertaken through the early stages of a PhD research project.” \nProfessor Sarah Atkinson: \nThe Future(s) of Cinema: Live\, Immersive & Experiential \nSarah Atkinson is Professor of Screen Media at King’s College London\, Editor of Routledge Resources Online: Screen Studies\, and co-editor of Convergence: The International Journal of Research into New Media Technologies. Sarah has published widely on the film\, cinema and screen industries including extensive work into the Live Cinema economy. She has worked on numerous funded immersive media projects and virtual reality initiatives. Sarah also adopts practice-based methodologies through the creation of her own original works which include video essays\, an interactive documentary\, immersive experiences and short films (including Live Cinema – walking the tightrope between stage and screen – Learning on Screen Award 2020 nominee). \nThe film industry has experienced a series of significant disruptions over the past 15 years which have collectively and indelibly changed the course of cinema viewing experience.\nThe wholesale of integration of digital film into the production workflow not only changed the style and aesthetics of film form\, it opened up new channels of digital distribution and access. These included new streaming-only models with Netflix debuting their first original film in 2015 (Beasts of No Nation\, Dir: Cary Joji Fukunaga) then other filmmakers of influence soon following suit with ‘Netflix first’ releases including Roma (2018\, Dir: Alfonso Cuarón).\nThe COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 impacted on both film consumption patterns and cinema production. With access to films restricted entirely to home viewing\, on-demand only releases intensified. The industry accelerated their use of virtual production – a suite of tools using Real Time Game Engines across the entire film production chain. Meanwhile immersive technologies opened up the possibility for audience engagement in 360-degree space at a time when the the large scale immersive experiences including those by Secret Cinema were halted.\nCinema-going has not yet returned to pre-pandemic levels and questions remain as to whether it ever will – despite the high-profile box-office breaking one-off events which have provided a life line – including the Barbenheimer dual release and most recently Taylor Swift’s most profitable concert film of all time. Swift’s release has marked yet another key turning point – shifting the status of the traditional cinema-viewing environment through its melding with a live event.\nDrawing from my research\, I will reflect upon the outcomes of these various evolutions along the vectors of live\, immersive and experiential\, which I argue all involve the re-authentication of cinema as collective experience and which ultimately lead to a cinema of many futures. \n  \nTickets are Free but please book in advance.

SUMMARY:DALEKS' INVASION EARTH 2150 A.D. (1966) & THE DELIAN MODE (2009)
DESCRIPTION:Double DOCTOR WHO feature plus pre-recorded Q&A from Director Kara Blake\n  \n \nThis November\, it’s 60 years since the birth of the longest-running science fiction series in the universe – DOCTOR WHO. \nTo mark this significant event\, Southampton Film Week will be screening two films in celebration of this remarkable show. \n‘Daleks’ Invasion Earth 2150 A.D.’ directed by Gordon Flemyng in 1966 and newly remastered. \n‘The Delian Mode\,’ a short experimental documentary about the life and work of electronic music pioneer Delia Derbyshire\, best known for her ground-breaking sound treatment of the Doctor Who theme music which has delighted and terrified children in equal measure ever since it was first heard back in 1963. \nTaking place just 10 days before the Doctor Who 60th Anniversary special\, ‘The Star Beast’ which will see the much loved David Tennant returning to the role\, this event will celebrate all things Who while paying homage to one of the show’s most remarkable women – Delia Derbyshire. \nTHE DELIAN MODE\n2009 | Dir. Kara Blake | Documentary/Music | Canada| 25 mins \nDelian Mode with pre-recorded Q&A \n \nThe Delian Mode is a collage of sound and image created in the spirit of Derbyshire’s unique approach to audio creation and manipulation. It illuminates such soundscapes onscreen while paying tribute to a woman whose work has influenced electronic musicians for decades. \nThis screening will be followed by a short pre-recorded Q&A with director Kara Blake\, in conversation with City Eye’s Aaron West\, who will explain her motivations for creating this work and her profound respect for one of electronic music’s unsung heroes – Delia Derbyshire. \n  \nDALEKS’ INVASION EARTH 2150 A.D.\nCert PG | 1966 | Dir. Gordon Flemyng | SciFi/Adventure | UK | 84 mins \n \nThe earth of 2150 A.D. is a desolate and hostile ruin of a planet\, crumbling at the edge of civilisation\, slowly disappearing into the darkness of space. For the future of planet earth now belongs to The Daleks\, a destructive army of alien invaders who have turned humans into cowering slaves. Meanwhile deep within the London Underground a group of resistance freedom fighters are planning an attack. But there’s only one man who could possibly help them succeed in destroying their extra-terrestrial enemies and take back control of planet earth. A man of mystery\, a man of time and space\, a man known only as… The Dr. \n  \n  \n  \n\nhttps://southamptonfilmweek.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Full-Trailer-with-Delian-Mode-1.mp4\n  \nFree tickets for Students – but you must book pre-book and bring your Student ID with you to this screening.

SUMMARY:THE MARK OF ZORRO with live musical accompaniment
DESCRIPTION:THE MARK OF ZORRO \nCert U | 1920 | Dir. Fred Niblo | Adventure/Western/Romance | USA | 80 mins \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nSilent feature screening with live musical accompaniment \nThis genre-defining swashbuckler adventure is considered to be the world’s first action adventure film and the first time the iconic masked hero was portrayed on screen. \nFred Niblo’s The Mark of Zorro (1920) not only gave birth to a genre but established a new persona for star Douglas Fairbanks. Just like Fairbank’s masked hero the film catapulted him from standard film actor to one of Hollywood’s first superstars. Elements of the film and Fairbanks’ portrayal would later inspire Bob Kane’s most famous of heroes\, Batman. \nSet in Spanish California\, Fairbanks portrays Don Diego Vega\, a comically effete young nobleman with a taste for tasselled sombreros and juvenile silk-hanky magic tricks. But when danger calls\, Diego swathes himself in black\, straps on a well-honed sword and storms the countryside as the mysterious Zorro. Slicing his initial into the faces of the “sentinels of oppression” and pausing only to boldly romance the woman (Marguerite De La Motte) to whom his shy alter-ego can hardly summon the courage to speak. \nThe Mark of Zorro is an uplifting escape adventure with the thrills which would be copied the world over throughout the rest of the history of cinema. \nThis special screening is co-produced by Turner Sims with Southampton Film Week in partnership with South West Silents. Live musical accompaniment comes from pianist Meg Morley and drummer Emiliano Caroselli. \nMeg Morely is an Australian-born\, UK-based pianist\, composer and improviser. Meg creates music within diverse artistic genres (silent film\, contemporary dance and ballet\, solo piano\, contemporary jazz ensembles and electronic music). Classically-trained from the age of two\, Meg has worked with various dance companies (English National Ballet\, Rambert Company\, Matthew Bourne\, Pina Bausch). She performs and composes for international film festivals and institutions (BFI\, Nederlands Silent Film Festival\, Kino Lorber). She recently released a second album with Meg Morley Trio (Richard Sadler on bass\, Emiliano Caroselli on drums) who have also recorded and toured her original scores for silent film. \n  \n  \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n
