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:SFW22: The Experimental Short Films of Christopher Nolan - Solent University
DESCRIPTION:The Experimental Short Films of Christopher Nolan with Dr. Stuart Joy\nThursday 17 November at 1:30pm\n\n\nProduced during his formative years as a student\, Christopher Nolan‘s short films have attracted little attention when set against the backdrop of his feature filmmaking. This is partly because Tarantella (1989) and Larceny (1996) have not been made widely available. However\, in April 2021\, a copy of Tarantella was briefly uploaded to YouTube before being removed in response to a copyright claim made by Nolan‘s production company. It is unclear why the director is unwilling to allow audiences to see what he has referred to in the past as “just a surreal short\, a string of images\,” but his hesitancy to do so speaks to a wider disregard for the short film form among both critics and scholars. This talk attempts to address the assumptions surrounding the artistic and cultural value afforded to short films by offering an in-depth discussion of the elusive Tarantella and another Nolan short\, Doodlebug.\n\n \nFor fans of Christopher Nolan\, Southampton Film Week will also be screening his sci-fi epic ‘Interstellar’ later in the evening of Thursday 17 November. Click here to book! \n is run by film charity      Charity Number 1089882 \nWe are delighted\, with support of our partners\, to present a number of events for free but if you are able to make a donation when purchasing your ticket or attending an event we will be incredibly grateful – and able to sustain City Eye and Southampton Film Week for years to come!  Thank you.

SUMMARY:SFW22: Los Fantasmas with Q&A
DESCRIPTION:Los Fantasmas (2020)\nTuesday 15 November 2022 at 7:00pm\nDir. Sebastián Lojo | Guatemala | 1hr 31m |12A | Drama | English subtitles  \nBy day\, Koki is a nice tourist guide in Guatemala City\, but at night he lures men to a hotel – where they are relieved of their property.  \n \nHandsome Koki earns a living in Guatemala City winning people’s confidence\, after which their possessions go missing. By day he is a tourist guide\, but at night he seduces men and takes them to Carlos’ hotel\, where they are robbed. Koki and Carlos are two sides of the same coin; their fates are intertwined through their violent activities. One day\, Koki is targeted by one of the men he stole from\, leading Carlos to replace him with another good-looking young man. The shock of this sudden removal of his means of subsistence causes Koki to realise what his life was like\, in an almost out-of-body experience. \nThe feature debut from Sebastián Lojo and Remi Itani\, Los Fantasmas had its premiere in Rotterdam and has played in festivals around the world\, which is a remarkable achievement for an indie film that came out of a country with little film infrastructure but great stories to tell. The film’s use of location\, situation and storytelling are all the richer for this character study that explores what people do to survive.\n\nProducer Remi Itani will join us for the screening and a Q&A.\n is run by film charity      Charity Number 1089882 \nWe are delighted\, with support of our partners\, to present a number of events for free but if you are able to make a donation when purchasing your ticket or attending an event we will be incredibly grateful – and able to sustain City Eye and Southampton Film Week for years to come!  Thank you.

SUMMARY:SFW22: knit the walls
DESCRIPTION:We are grateful to BFI FAN and The National Lottery for funding to support this event. Please complete this survey so that we can feed back to them.\n  \n‘knit the walls’\nIn 2018 SFW: Shorts\, Southampton Film Week’s own short film competition\, received a submission from it’s youngest ever filmmaker\, 13 year old Imogen Dunlop.  The film was a documentary  about the wonderful community project knit the walls.  Against stiff competition Imogen won the hearts of the audience and won the Audience Award at the SFW: Shorts Screening and Awards Ceremony.  As the ‘knit the walls project’ neared completion\, Imogen\, now 17\, suggested to sarah\, the artist and inspiration behind the project\, that she make another film\, this time about the project’s conclusion. Both Imogen’s original film and her new film will be installed in God’s House Tower from 11 November until 4 December. On Sunday 13 November sarah and Imogen will come together for a conversation about the project and the films.  You are invited to join them.  It’s sure to be a lovely event\, discussing how inspiring and empowering the ‘knit the walls’ project has been to the local community. This is a FREE event and no booking is required. \nAfter more than three million knitted stitches\, thousands of hours of warm conversation and countless shared stories\, as well as many hundreds of cups of tea and a lot of cake\, the six-year ‘knit the walls’ community-focused art project will come to an end this November. ‘knit the walls’ is a co-created community art project\, conceived and led by Southampton-based artist sarah filmer\, working alongside city residents in the production of a knitted version of the city’s medieval walls. The project emerged from the realisation that whilst the walls have silently witnessed the everyday lives of millions of the city’s residents over hundreds of years\, the stories we hear of the city’s past describe the big events\, those of national and international importance. And yet we each live our own day-to-day existence\, with small occurrences and personal stories comprising our individual lived experiences – often of no interest or consequence to anyone but ourselves and those close to us. \nSince 2016\, the work has seen an ever-growing\, evolving community of contributors come together each month at God’s House Tower and other venues\, bringing together hundreds of knitters from across Southampton’s diverse communities and beyond. ‘knit the walls’ has offered a space to gather\, knit\, to be creative\, or just to chat\, laugh\, and be surrounded by community. In recent months\, the project has evolved further through the creation of other knitted objects\, the outcomes of which will feature in the final exhibition\, launching at GHT on Friday 11th November. Just as the stone walls hold the stories of the city\, household objects hold our personal stories\, and knitters have been encouraged to bring items and encase them with stitches\, to contribute to a woollen ‘front room’ complete with knitted wallpaper\, that will feature in the final exhibition. \n \nsarah filmer is an artist based in Southampton\, England. she is an associate lecturer in fine art at Solent university. Her practice research interests include the articulation of women’s stories via shared activity\, with ‘knit the walls’ revisioning recorded history through a feminist lens. \nImogen Dunlop studies film and media video production at Barton Peveril Sixth Form College. Imogen describes herself as having ‘been a creative person my whole life and have been creating stories since i learned to write’. Imogen has described her filmmaking journey below: \n“i went up to sarah and asked if i could make a documentary about knit the walls. at this point it had only been going for about a year\, but she was happy for me to run around with my camera and try it out. my dad helped me with the editing and the technical stuff and then boom! my first film was born. not only was my first film born\, but i then managed to win the Audience Choice award at Southampton Film Week in 2018\, when i was just 13 years old.” \nGHT will host a launch event for the ‘knit the walls’ finale on Friday 11th November from 6pm – 8pm. Tickets to the launch are free and available on Eventbrite here. \nYou can find details of other activities and events throughout November at God’s House Tower on their website. \n is run by film charity      Charity Number 1089882

SUMMARY:Here for Life (2019) & Q&A
DESCRIPTION:2019 | Dir Andrea Luka Zimmerman and Adrian Jackson | 1:27 | Cert 15 \nAwarded a Special Mention\, Concorso Cineasti del Presente at 72nd Locarno Film Festival 2019 | Discovery Award Long-list\, British Independent Film Awards 2019 \nAn uncommon story told on common ground by ten Londoners. All have lives shaped by loss and love\, trauma and bravery\, struggle and resistance. They grapple with a system stacked against them. They dance\, steal and eat together; agree and disagree\, celebrate their differences and share their talents. The lines between one person’s story and another’s performance of it are blurred\, and the borders between reality and fiction are equally porous. Eventually coming together on a makeshift stage built on reclaimed ground between two train tracks\, they prompt a debate about the world we live in\, who has stolen what from whom\, and how things might be fixed. Here for Life marks the culmination of a long collaboration between film-maker Andrea Luka Zimmerman and theatre-maker Adrian Jackson\, a troupe of Londoners and a dog. \n  \nWe are delighted that spoken word poet and performer in the film Errol McGlashan\, together with Johanna Von Fischer from Modern Films\, the distributor of Here for Life\, will join us for this special screening. Please join us in welcoming them to Southampton to discuss this important film. \n  \nAndrea Luka Zimmerman (co-director) said of this project “for me what is most valuable is the sense of a creative and collaborative waywardness and unpredictability in the film: that tenderness and tension co-exist\, often in the same moment\, feels to me something true to our shared experience.” \nAdrian Jackson (co-director) comments that “if this film tells us anything about London today\, it’s that there are many unconsidered lives surviving against the odds. It feels important to tell these kinds of stories today – to hear from people who are often ‘othered’ in a variety of ways – to show a world we don’t see enough of.” \n  \n‘A film of great compassion and political and aesthetic ambition\, in which the idea of a collective is prioritised for a change\, but without sacrificing or downplaying the individual voices and idiosyncrasies that it comprises’ – Kieron Corless\, Sight & Sound \n‘A folk tale\, a thing of indeterminate\, multiple belonging. In the film\, a poetics and a politics of the common is palpable’. – Laura Staab\, Open City Docs \n‘Fluidly integrates theatrical performance and process into a beautiful piece of filmmaking’ – Hettie Judah\, Art Monthly \n‘“Here for Life” is a moving film about hardship in London’ – Prospero\, The Economist  \n is run by film charity      Charity Number 1089882 \nWe are delighted\, with support of our partners\, to present a number of events for free but if you are able to make a donation when purchasing your ticket or attending an event we will be incredibly grateful – and able to sustain City Eye and Southampton Film Week for years to come!  Thank you.
