Podcast appearances and mentions of Andrea Dunbar

Our guest today is writer  Ralph Dartford who works for the National Literacy Trust and is the poetry editor of literary journal Northern Gravy.   Ralph kindly made the journey from Bradford to the Lockwood residence in Sheffield, and we settled down in my living room with mugs of tea and a plate of biscuits, surrounded by books and looked down upon by at least three pictures of Larkin. Ralph also co-organises the fantastic Louder Than Words festival that takes place in Manchester every autumn, and is a celebration of writing about music. They gather together amazing writers, broadcasters and musicians to discuss, explore and debate all things music and music industry related.  I hope we will continue to see Ralph at more PLS events.Larkin poems mentioned:The Whitsun Weddings, Dockery and Son, Mr Bleaney, For Sidney Bechet, High Windows, Cut Grass, To The Sea, MCMXIV, Here, BroadcastAll What Jazz: A Record Diary 1961-1971 (1985) by Philip LarkinThe Oxford Book of Twentieth Century English Verse - ed.  Philip Larkin (1973) I am happy to see Mr. Larkin's taste in poetry and my own are in agreement ...

The director Clio Barnard won prizes and critical acclaim for her first feature film The Arbor: it blended fact and fiction to depict the short, troubled life of the brilliant Bradford playwright Andrea Dunbar. Since then she's taken on a wide range of British stories. She directed Claire Danes and Tom Hiddleston in The Essex Serpent, a six part adaptation of the best-selling book by Sarah Perry. She returned to Bradford for Ali and Ava, a love story which won a BAFTA nomination for outstanding British film, and for The Selfish Giant, the tale of two children trying to make money from selling scrap metal. Music often plays an important part in her films, and her choices include Alice Coltrane, Biber and Philip Glass.

Welcome to Reel Britannia-a very British podcast about very British movies ...with just a hint of professionalism. Classic comedy from the 80s this week as Siobhan Finneran stars in this darkly funny drama set in Thatcher's Britain.    Rita Sue and Bob Too (1987) Following an acclaimed career in hard-hitting TV drama, director Alan Clarke achieved a cinema hit with his much-loved comedy. Bradford teenagers Rita and Sue regularly babysit for successful couple Bob and Michelle, whose comfortable suburban lifestyle contrasts with their own bleak existence. One evening when Bob is taking them home, he suggests a detour to the moors. Impressed by his flashy car and worldly ways the girls are smooth-talked into a three-way sexual relationship that becomes very much part of their lives. At first it's a bit of a laugh but people are quick to point the finger and the affair is soon out in the open. The screenplay was adapted from a series of acclaimed plays by Andrea Dunbar, which were based on her own upbringing on Bradford's Buttershaw estate. The contrast of bawdy laughs with astute social comment results in one of the more memorable and enduring British films from the period. "Oh no, I'll have to wear a bra. When I'm dancing all the fellas'll be watching me tits wobblin' up and down - I can't do with that."

Fem kvinnor vars liv får färg och kraft av Dolly Parton ser vi i dokumentärfilmen Jag är min egen Dolly Parton. Regissören Jessica Nettelbladt berättar i Kino om hur själva dokumentärmakandet kan vara en möjlighet att komma i kontakt med sin egen inre primadonna. En betydligt mörkare historia är den hyllade dokumentären The Arbor som handlar om den brittiska pjäsförfattaren Andrea Dunbar som dog endast 29 år gammal och efterlämnade tre barn. The Arbor handlar om destruktiva mönster som går igen och det visas på ett formmässigt nyskapande sätt. Skådespelare läppsynkar till inspelade intervjuer med Andrea Dunbars familj. Kino undersöker användandet av rekonstruktionen inom dokumentärfilmen, med utgångspunkt i The Arbor och Anna Odells nya, utökade version av verket Okänd Kvinna 2009-349701. Även Kino har varit en del av dokumentärfestivalen Tempo i Stockholm. I onsdags så tog vi vårt pick och pack och drog till en galleria för att diskutera dokumentärfilm, mitt ute i verkligheten. En av gästerna på Kinos scen var filmfotografen och regissören Ewa Cederstam, som håller i ett work in progress på Tempofestivalen om filmen som hon just nu sitter och klipper, "Att våga minnas". Den handlar om vad som händer när man släpper fram plågsamma minnen, och om hur man själv och omvärlden hanterar när man blivit våldtagen. På onsdag är det säsongsstart för The Event i SVT, den amerikanska tv-serien som blandar science fiction med den politiska thrillern. Det som gör The Event lite speciell är att avsnitten visas runt om i Europa bara några dagar efter att de gått på amerikansk tv. Ett sätt att bemöta konkurrensen med fildelning på nätet, livsviktigt för en serie som nästan helt och hållet bygger på ett mysterium som uppdagas bit för bit. Kino har träffat Steve Stark, en av seriens producenter som bland annat arbetat med serier som Medium och The Game tidigare. Kino träffade den rutinerade tv-veteranen för att ta reda på vad som krävs för att för att överleva i en av nöjesindustrins tuffaste delar. Programledare: Roger Wilson Producent: Nina Asarnoj
