Camille Henrot on Tapping In to a Boundless Imagination

For the Paris-born, New York–based artist Camille Henrot, time practically never stands still. Across her work in film, drawing, painting, sculpture, installation—and soon, live performance—Henrot has developed ways of stretching and distorting time, seamlessly shifting from moments of potent, rapid-fire intensity to quiet reflection. While her work carries a theory-driven ferocity and intelligence, it's also incredibly playful. Hers is serious art that manages—often with a knowing, subtle wink—to not take itself too seriously.On this episode of Time Sensitive, Henrot considers the subjectivity of speed and slowness; previews her upcoming first-ever performance-art piece, slated to premiere in 2026 and a collaboration with the nonprofit Performa; and reflects on why, for her, a work is technically never finished. She also shares her fraught fascination with animals, childhood, and the climate crisis—the intersection of which she examines in-depth in her soon-to-debut film “In the Veins.”Special thanks to our Season 12 presenting sponsor, Van Cleef & Arpels.Show notes:Camille Henrot[4:30] RoseLee Goldberg[4:30] Performa Biennial[6:37] Buster Keaton[6:37] Tex Avery[7:03] Estelle Hoy[7:19] Adam Charlap Hyman of Charlap Hyman & Herrero[16:10] “In the Veins” (2026)[17:45] "Grosse Fatigue"[17:45] Massimiliano Gioni[38:51] Roland Barthes[45:36] Pierre Huyghe[47:51] Ikebana Sogetsu[51:46] Okwui Enwezor[55:03] Hypernormalisation by Adam Curtis (2016)[59:51] Jacob Bromberg[59:51] Akwetey Orraca-Tetteh[1:08:50] Adrienne Rich[1:08:50] Ursula K.

6. Limelight and Keaton Collaboration Scott Eyman Charlie Chaplin versus America: When Art, Sex, and Politics Collided Chaplin based Limelight on an atmospheric novel about Edwardian theater. The film reflected his own life, allowing him to process grief over his inability to save his mother by repeatedly featuring the narrative of an older adult rescuing a helpless young woman. After a difficult search, he cast Claire Bloom in the lead role. A significant unscripted addition during production was a routine featuring Buster Keaton. The two comedy legends collaborated improvisationally, resulting in a sequence that Keaton was honored to perform. 1928

“As you do draft after draft, it becomes shorter and rendered down. And [Keanu Reeves and I] would go through scenes going, ‘Can people say less? Can the action be tighter? Can the action sequence be shorter?' The action is an extension of the hero's journey and if you don't give a sh*t about the character, it doesn't matter how great your action is,” says Derek Kolstad about his writing process with actor Keanu Reeves when they worked on the script that would become John Wick and spark an entire franchise.  On today's episode, we speak with screenwriter Kolstad about his masterful John Wick action movies and his new animated TV show, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Deathwatch based on the popular video game.   Kolstad also shares his surprising advice for coming up with action scenes that feel fresh and inventive by going back to the silent era. “Look at Buster Keaton. Harold Lloyd, and Fatty Arbuckle, the Keystone Cops. Look at how those sequences were done, and then there's Asian cinema, you know? What I love about the things that I've been a part of is there's always this sense of humor at play. Nothing's so dark and so bleak that you're not enjoying it.” To hear more, listen to the podcast.

Stumfilm: Det våras för tystnaden

Stumfilmen kördes över av ljudet och blev en smal sak för cineaster. Joakim Silverdal tycker att det är dags att skriva ut tysta klassiker på recept. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Alla stjärnor kommer en gång att slockna. Det gäller världsrymdens himlakroppar, likaväl som himlen över Hollywood.I Billy Wilders Sunset Boulevard från 1950 drömmer den avdankade stumfilmsskådespelerskan Norma Desmond om en comeback som aldrig kommer. Hon har inte lyckats med något sen filmen fick ljud och krossade hennes karriär.Detsamma gäller hennes gamla vänner.I en scen sitter några finklädda figurer vid ett pokerbord. Vana cineaster känner direkt igen dem: ”det är ju Buster Keaton, Anna Q Nilsson och HB Warner”. Men filmens berättare beskriver dem som dunkla figurer från den tysta eran, som inget mer än vaxdockor i Norma Desmonds kabinett.Stumfilmen var stendöd, redan 1950, det är vad vi får med oss.Men jag har blivit mer och mer övertygad om att den ljudlösa filmkonsten nu, över 70 år senare, fortfarande har förmågan att välta vår verklighet.När min dotter var två år fick hon frågan av en förskollärare vad hon gillade att se på tv. Och då svarade hon, som om det vore det naturligaste i hela världen: Charlie Chaplin.Allt uppstod i ett ögonblick av panik - när Babblarna, Daniel Tiger och Bolibompadraken helt enkelt till slut fick det att rinna över. Vad annars går att gräva fram ur streamingmörkret?Titta där: den böjda käppen, de stora skorna och det kluriga leendet. Charlie Chaplin!Vi började trevande med långfilmen Cirkus. Jag trodde egentligen inte alls på den här idén, men snart märkte jag hur uppslukad hon var. Allt som behövdes var några enkla: “Vad tror du att gubben ska göra nu? Nämen vad hände, sprang han IN till lejonet?” och så sitter en tvååring och tar in ett svartvitt, filmhistoriskt mästerverk från 1920-talet, helt utan talade repliker eller ljudeffekter.Vi upptäckte snart att Chaplin är mer än den snubbelgubbe världen ofta vill göra honom till. Vi har haft många, långa samtal om vad som gör luffaren ledsen, varför han är ensam, varför han har så trasiga kläder.Det är sådant man hinner med när tillvaron tystnar. När det konstanta larmet av hysteriskt animerade barnprogram sätts på paus, om så bara för en liten stund.Men kanske är jag naiv. Med snart 100 år av ljudfilmer är väl ändå stumfilmen dömd till en tillvaro längst ut i vår mediala periferi.Någon som var rädd för det och såg på med avsky, när ljudet trädde in i filmkonsten, var Victor Klemperer.Han var en tysk filmälskare och språkvetare vars dagböcker från 30 och 40-talen är viktiga tidsdokument över nazismens påverkan på det tyska medvetandet.I hans filmdagbok “Ljus och skugga - 1929-1945” får läsaren vara med om hur nazi-propagandans mörker kastas över de tyska biograferna.Men för den som läser noggrant, är den även en spännande ögonvittnesskildring från en biobesökare som var med om skiftet från stumfilm till ljudfilm.För Victor Klemperer var INGEN vän av den tidiga ljudfilmen, om vi säger så.Det är med ett slags glödgat hat han beskriver hur patetiskt dåligt filmljudet var till en början.1929 skriver han: “Vi har nu mött ljudfilmen två gånger och tyckte båda gångerna att den var avskyvärd”.Han tycker att det låter förskräckligt, men ljudkvaliteten är något han förstår kommer bli bättre. Vad som inte kommer åtgärdas är att ljudfilmen utstrålar något konstlat, dött. Ett slags surrogat till stumfilmen.Han skriver att “Filmen MÅSTE vara en konstform med uttryck, liknande baletten, buren av musiken, annars blir den en vedervärdig död mekanism med ett ljud som dessutom skär sig”.Precis som min tvååring, blir han väldigt förtjust när han får se Charlie Chaplin i Stadens ljus. En stumfilm som med filmmusik och några enkla ljudeffekter hånar ljudfilmen. Som när Chaplins luffare sväljer en visselpipa och försöker sjunga, men allt som kommer ut är några visslingar. ”En välsignelse att det är en stumfilm, avskyvärt att musiken gnisslar lika illa som i radion”, skriver han.Och när man ser denna eras mästerverk är det svårt att inte hålla med honom.Hur berör inte ansiktena, när ljudet fattas? I En kvinnas martyrium, det kvävande kammarspelet om Jeanne D'Arc från 1928, kryper sig skådespelerskan Maria Falconettis uppgivna uttryck långsamt in under huden.De få textrutorna ger oss absolut kontext, men det är ögonen. Ögonen. De stora uttrycksfulla ögonen som vittnar om mänsklighetens grymheter. De är starkare än all dialog i världen.Den tittare som ger sig hän, sitter till slut bara och gråter.Men tiden sprang förbi, även Chaplin började göra ljudfilm och med tiden verkar till och med Victor Klemperers syn på filmljudet mildras.Redan 1932 måste han erkänna att Marlene Dietrich och Emil Jannings skådespeleri lyfts när han får höra deras röster i Blå Ängeln. ”Klangen i detta organ”, utbrister han och när han några år senare ser musikalfilmen “Broadways melodi” är han istället förtrollad av ljudet. ”Vi sitter hänförda till den sista bilden OCH tonen”, skriver han.Men den där kraften då? Som kan få en två-åring att 100 år senare sitta hänförd i en timme och tjugo minuter?Om Victor Klemperer fortfarande var med oss - och om han skulle känna det glödgade hatet mot ljudfilmen blossa upp igen - skulle han bara behöva plocka upp valfri webbläsare, söka upp sin favoritfilm och trycka på play.Nu är stora delar av stumfilmsskatterna från 20 och 30-talen digitaliserade och ofta har rättigheterna gått över till att bli allmän egendom. Så den som vill se, kan se, utan problem.Stumfilmens kvalitet i vår moderna samtid börjar inte med stumfilmen, den börjar med dig.För när inga ljud hörs, inga röster ljuder, är det vi tittare som får jobba. Att se stumfilm är att sitta längst fram på soffkanten, framåtlutad, redo att ta in.Då behöver stumfilmen inte bli ett museum, då kan den bli ett tempel. En plats före reflektion och förundran. En plats för lugn och verklig eftertanke.I den moderna människans rusande tillvaro, där stressen äter sig in i porerna, borde stumfilm kunna skrivas ut på recept.För när jag och mina barn vaggats in i tempot från en stumfilm, märker vi snart hur vårt medvetande ställts om.Ofta tar det några minuter, vi skruvar på oss, men sen är det som om världen långsamt börjar tippa och vi själva snubblar in i filmen. Precis som när Buster Keatons biografvaktmästare i Sherlock Jr kliver fram till filmduken och in i filmen för att själv blir sagans mästerdetektiv.Att se stumfilm kan bli som att finna det verkliga värdet i tystnaden. Något som inte handlar om frånvaro, utan om närvaro.När två-åringen nu blivit fyra och själv vill välja brukar det blir Frost, eller Lejonvakten på tvn. Men ibland, ibland är det Chaplinboxen som åker fram och vi hämtar lillebror, sätter oss längst fram på soffkuddarna, lutar oss in, tills vi ramlar, rakt ner i filmhistorien.Joakim Silverdalfilmkritiker och reporter på kulturredaktionenTre bästa stumfilmerna att se med dina barn:”Guldfeber” av Charlie Chaplin”Busters miljoner” av Buster Keaton”Upp genom luften” med Harold Lloyd (regi: Fred C.

Gianluca Solla"La vita sghemba"Aki Kaurismäki alla fine del mondoCronopio Edizioniwww.cronopio.itPiù strampalati di una gag di Chaplin, più teneri di un sorriso, più caldi di un abbraccio: i film anarchici di Kaurismaki hanno attirato l'attenzione del cinema europeo e mondiale dipingendo le atmosfere di una Finlandia inventata e magica. Il loro tratto comico è in grado di farci sprofondare dentro vicende tristi senza mai rattristarci, ma invitandoci a guardare alla vita di oggi: una vita libera nel bene e nel male dal dover essere, però attraversata da movenze che arrivano da lontano. Una vita semplice ma non priva di enigmi. Da dove proviene la sua poesia? È come una voce flebile, ma forte al punto tale da essere capace di farsi largo nella lunghissima notte del mondo che ci avvolge. Qui le cose non sono mai come appaiono: la fine è all'inizio e l'inizio è ciò che ci attende quando le cose finiscono. La filosofia implicita di Kaurismaki è una riflessione sull'incongruenza e sull'inverosimiglianza, sulla precarietà e sull'imprevedibilità come tratti preziosi del nostro tempo apocalittico, attraverso il quale gli strani personaggi dei suoi film si muovono con eleganza.Gianluca Solla insegna Filosofia teoretica presso l'Università di Verona, dove dirige PHILM. Centro di ricerca su filosofia e cinema ed è associato al Centro di ricerca su filosofia e psicanalisi “Tiresia”. Tra i  suoi ultimi libri: Memoria dei senzanome.

“It's almost a perfect work of art.” This is some bonus content from the previous episode with Gurnaik Johal where we talk about objects of influence.    The return of a potentially holy river in the Indian mountains - is it a sign of a new age, a divine intervention, or simply the workings of nature? These are the questions at the heart of Gurnaik Johal's novel, SARASWATI, published by Serpent's Tail. Frauds, politicians, mystics, writers, and the family who own the farm in which the river exists, are caught up in trying to determine what the return of the SARASWATI river means. It is a novel that is truly global in its scope, set in Canada, India, the Chagos Islands, and Wolverhampton. It was named as a Guardian newspaper selection for 2025, and shortlisted for the Waterstones Debut Fiction Prize. Gurnaik was a winner of the Galley Beggar short story prize.  Remember, if you buy from Rippling Pages Bookshop all books are all sourced from indie bookshops! https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/ripplingpagespod Support the Rippling Pages on a new Patreon https://patreon.com/RipplingPagesPod?utm_medi Interested in hosting your own podcast?

When we first meet the pair, he's making rock music in Detroit while she's hanging out with an equally ageless Christopher Marlowe (John Hurt) in Tangiers. (Long-distance spells aren't such a big deal when you've been together throughout hundreds of years.) Between sips of untainted hospital-donated blood, they struggle with depression and an ever-changing world, reflect on their favorite humans (Buster Keaton, Albert Einstein, Jack White) and watch time go by, each finding stability in the other.

Episode 303. What did we learn this week? Kyle is too out of shape to walk 2 miles to the movie theater to see Honey Don't!, Dark Melissa comes out at fundraiser trivia nights, and there are hundreds of obscure and defunct M&Ms characters. We also discuss the animated series Pantheon, Buster Keaton gags still hitting, the possibility of Nicolas Cage as a True Detective, if you need to apologize if you call something "nightmare fuel" but then it never actually gives you a nightmare, and still feeling pain over the lack of a third season to finish off Mindhunter.Click here to watch a video of this episode.

Directed by Kyle Newacheck and co-written by Sandler and Tim Herlihy, the film follows a now-widowed, down-and-out Happy Gilmore—a recovering alcoholic and former Tour Champion—who returns to the green to finance his daughter's coveted ballet education in Paris. The story blends slapstick humor, nostalgic callbacks, celebrity cameos, and heartfelt themes of redemption and family, all wrapped in a nostalgic yet updated sports comedy format streaming on Netflix starting July 25, 2025. The Time That Remains, a 2009 semi-biographical drama written and directed by Elia Suleiman, chronicles Palestinian life under Israeli occupation from the Nakba of 1948 through to the present via a stylized, episodic narrative rooted in Suleiman's own family history. Drawing from his father's resistance-fighter diaries and his mother's letters to exiled relatives, the film unfolds across a series of deadpan vignettes marked by dry humor, minimalist dialogue, and elegant visual tableaux reminiscent of Jacques Tati and Buster Keaton. Suleiman inserts himself as a silent, observant presence—his restrained performance a pointed expression of emotional and cultural endurance—portraying daily realities that are both absurd and deeply affecting. Film festivals such as Cannes and Toronto featured the work, where it earned awards including the Jury Grand Prize at the Asia-Pacific Screen Awards. Key keywords include The Time That Remains, Elia Suleiman, semi-biographical drama, Palestinian experience, 1948 to present, deadpan visual vignettes, minimalist storytelling, and film festival recognition.GIVE YOUR B*TCH A SMACKIN' - https://smackinsunflowerseeds.com/LILCUMMER/Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/CumpostingPodcastChapters:0:00 Intro9:44 'Happy Gilmore 2' (2025) Review & Analysis48:37 Scoring & Ranking 'Happpy Gilmore 2'50:46 Smakin Ad54:18 'The Time That Remains' (2009) Review & Analysis1:23:56 Scoring & Ranking 'The Time That Remains'1:24:41 Eden Riley Interview1:54:35 Next Week's Films/ OutroRosa's

Two Midwesterners and one Australian (Rhys Crook from The Crook Cut Podcast) go fur trapping in northern Wisconsin with applejack salesman Jean Kayak on this slapstick affair for the film Hundreds of Beavers. Two filmmakers from Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin (Mike Cheslik and Ryland Tews) banded together to create this indie comedy that cost $7,000. 1,500 Adobe After Effects animations, and several film festivals later, it's now touring across the country and is already considered by some to be a cult classic. Many critics have compared Hundreds of Beavers to the films of Buster Keaton, Abbot & Costello, & The Three Stooges. What will these three film reviewers think of it?

The eighth installment in one of the most entertaining franchises ever made, The Final Reckoning is Tom Cruise's Return of the King. Whether it suffers from too much exposition is a matter of taste (and debated by the hosts), but both agree that the movie does what only its star can do: deliver thrills that derive from both the plot and the knowledge that what they are seeing is, in some sense, real. Buster Keaton, Jackie Chan, and Tom Cruise all make themselves as much of a character in the films as the fictional people they are portraying, which puts the viewer in a strange and wonderful place. Tom Cruise has saved the world yet again, and may (as Steven Spielberg told him) have saved the industry. Want to read about the first film in the franchise?

Last week, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’s Board of Governors announced it would add a new category to its awards ceremony starting 2028– Achievement in Stunt Design. This serves as a major win for the many stuntmen and stuntwomen who’ve lobbied for such an award, with their line of work having existed since the inception of film. Although stunts from the likes of Buster Keaton won’t ever be able to win such an award, there are plenty of recent films that have drawn crowds for their stunts. Whether it be the Mission Impossible or John Wick films, well-designed action sequences have kept moviegoers’ attention, which makes rewarding their stunt designers a great decision as we inch closer to the 100th annual Academy Awards. For this week’s FilmWeek feature, Larry and this week’s critics discuss this news with filmmaker and longtime stuntman, Chad Stahelski.

This week, we're diving whiskers-first into the utterly bonkers, wildly inventive indie oddity that is Hundreds of Beavers — a film that may be about trapping furry woodland critters but ends up capturing something much rarer: pure, anarchic cinematic joy.Directed by Mike Cheslik and starring frequent collaborator Ryland Brickson Cole Tews, Hundreds of Beavers is a near-silent, black-and-white slapstick adventure set in a surreal 19th-century frontier. It follows a hapless, hard-drinking applejack salesman (Tews) who finds himself stranded in a snowy wilderness and must learn the ways of the wild—specifically how to trap beavers—in order to survive, thrive, and maybe even win the heart of a fur trader's daughter.What makes this film stand out isn't just its lo-fi commitment to absurdity—it's the hand-crafted world of practical effects, person-in-costume beavers, and cartoon physics that turn it into a live-action Looney Tunes episode by way of Buster Keaton.

20 años tuvo que esperar 'Candilejas' para ganar un Oscar. 20 años desde su estreno. Y 20 años desde que Chaplin viajara a Londres para presentarla mundialmente y ya no pudiera regresar a su país en otros 20 años (por cuestiones políticas). Con estos mimbres, revisamos el gran clásico autobiográfico del director nacido en Reino Unido, que se hizo acompañar de Buster Keaton para esta historia de un payaso venido a menos (y que se estrenó en España hace justo 70 años). Regresamos sobre 'Candilejas' con Carlos Alsina, Rubén Amón, Rosa Belmonte, Guillermo Altares, Sergio del Molino y Nacho Vigalondo. Además, para celebrar los diez años de Más de Uno, escuchamos cómo fue el debut en el programa de cada uno de nuestros culturetas.
