Noted author and teacher Andrew Erish's first book, Col. William N. Selig, the Man Who Invented Hollywood, was hailed by the L.A. Public Library as “One of the best books of 2012.” And The Huffington Post declared, “…it may well be the film book of the year.” Andrew's most recent book, Vitagraph, America's First Great Motion Picture Studio, received the Peter C. Rollins Award for the best book of 2022 by the Southwest Popular/American Culture Association. I've read both of Andrew's fascinating and entertaining books, and can tell you that, despite my having been a student of films and Hollywood for more years than I care to admit, I learned a great deal about the beginnings of the movies that I had no clue about. If you like knowing all about Hollywood, I highly recommend both books to you. Andrew also contributed five essays to American Cool, published in conjunction with an exhibit at the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery. And he's written for various publications, including the Los Angeles Times and Quarterly Review of Film and Video.Andrew has lectured at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the L.A. Central Library, Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood, Santa Fe Film Festival, and the Shubert Archive in New York. In the United Kingdom, he's lectured at the Oxford Literary Festival and London's Cinema Museum. He's also programmed films and was honored at the Pordenone Silent Film Festival in Italy. For several years he has taught film history at universities and colleges in the Los Angeles area.

Join Chris and Alex for a discussion of the animated high fantasy epic Wizards (Ralph Bakshi, 1977), recorded in front of a live audience at the Cinema Museum in Kennington, London in January 2020. Conceived by animator Ralph Bakshi, Wizards is a counter-cultural marvel of the 1970s, one that blends a series of innovative animation styles with a story designed to stick two fingers up at the man with its heady mixture of psychedelia, allegory and fantasy. Listen as the conversation turns to the film’s relationship to politics and propaganda through its mixed media aesthetic and formal style; how Wizards mobilises its adult themes, socio-realism and gender politics, and how this appealed to a generation fed on a diet of Disney cartoons; the reflexivity of a narrative that pits forces of technology against the forces of magic; and how the fantasy of its creative illustrations contributes to the status of Wizards as an often overlooked masterpiece from the history of U.S. animation.

Episode 38 comes to you live from the Cinema Museum in Kennington, London, as Chris and Alex take to the stage to discuss the craft and creativity of silhouette animated feature The Adventures of Prince Achmed (Lotte Reiniger, 1926).

Listen as they trace The Adventures of Prince Achmed through a multitude of critical and cultural contexts, including Reiniger’s signature style of 2D cutout animation; gendered discourses of craft and the politics of the handmade; Reiniger’s own ‘forgotten’ status and position at the margins of animated film history; the film’s production during a specific historical moment of upheaval in 1920s Weimar Germany; and how The Adventures of Prince Achmed sits within the traditions of abstract cinema, avant-garde animation, German Expressionism and fantasy storytelling.

Welcome to Broad Appeal...after dark. Ahead of tonight's screening of THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE at the Cinema Museum, Seán and Brian engage in a diverse, insightful, and (let's face it) meandering conversation about gay Hollywood producer extraordinaire, Ross Hunter. While forgotten by history, this dippy queen's fingerprints are all over some of classic Hollywood’s biggest pictures, including ones that feature in both Brian’s and Seán’s feature personal canons.  From melodramas to musicals, Sirk to sex farce, Hunter sold audiences on his magnificent obsessions: artifice and not reality. Join us on this journey as we consume a full bottle of wine and wax poetic about a forgotten queer icon who possessed true Broad Appeal!! Clips from the film presented according to fair use policy.

*Spoiler warning - the entire film is discussed in the special feature. The Hoxton Movies team bring you "In Defence Of..." - a bonus feature in which we invite a guest to defend a film of their choice with less than 6 on IMDB and/or 60% on Rotten Tomatoes. Dying Young (1991) boasts a score of 6 on IMDb but just 23% on Rotten Tomatoes so perhaps more love from the audience side than the critics. Nikki Williams AKA The Celluloid Sorceress is in the studio to defend Dying Young - does she convince the sceptical Hoxton Movies crew? Nikki is also screening Dying Young at the Cinema Museum in June so check it out: http://www.cinemamuseum.org.uk/2018/the-celluloid-sorceress-presents-dying-young-1991/

As promised, here is the second CHMTC mini-episode, in which Mrs Classic Film Fan provides more on the sources of her research into the lives and careers of the late great studio movie stars. As well as some interesting books on Stanley Baker and the making of the film Zulu, Mrs CFF spills the beans on the main sources of her info on the late, great Marlon Brando, featured in an earlier CHMTC episode, including the 1962 Saturday Evening Post article which ruined Brando's credibility for years. The article can be accessed via the following link:  http://www.saturdayeveningpost.com/wp-content/uploads/satevepost/mutiny-of-brando-1963.pdf She also also mentions the plight of London's beloved Cinema Museum, the former workhouse home of Charlie Chaplin and his mother, now a respected venue for the showing of some of the great American and British classic films of yesteryear and classic film memorabilia.  More on the CM and the petition to save this fab venue can be found on the following link:      http://www.cinemamuseum.org.uk/2017/petition-to-save-the-cinema-museum/#.WkWBpzA9QUA.email Please do have look and sign up to save this worthy venue. 

Not safe for work (it's got some profanity in). Roz Kaveney and Tim Concannon revisit the Cinema Museum in Kennington and interview broadcaster Neil Brand about the need to save the building from developers. There's a preview of a show for 2018 talking to Peter Howden, the programmer of the Electric Cinema Club in Notting Hill, arguably the most influential counter cultural film theatre in Sixties London. Roz and Tim also revisit a 2016 stroll from the Cinema Museum to one of Chaplin's childhood homes in Kennington, and a 2012 walk round a corner of Greenwich Village, New York and the magic space where revolutionaries in jazz, the rights of man, and the rights of the LGBT community worldwide, all cross paths.

The General Election of June 2017, and the massive Labour surge under Jeremy Corbyn's socialist leadership, has provided a new sense of optimism for those hoping for an end to utilitarian approaches to culture and swingeing cuts to arts funding. This month, Juliet talks to Loraine Leeson, Hassan Mahamdallie and Hilary Wainwright about the concept of cultural democracy, the recent The World Transformed conference and the Arts for Labour initiative. What are Jeremy Corbyn's arts policies, and how are they informed by the anti-austerity movement? What has been learned from the Greater London Council's arts programmes of the 1980s, or the Attlee government's cultural policies? How did writers and thinkers such as William Morris, E.P. Thompson and Raymond Williams establish a long British tradition of 'cultural democracy', and what can we take from them in the 21st century?

Every month, interesting people talk about the music, films and music for films which have shaped their lives. 2016 Christmas special. Tim Concannon and Roz Kaveney visit the Cinema Museum in Oval, South London - the former Lambeth workhouse, where Charles Chaplin spent Christmas one year as a small boy - and one of his homes in Kennington, where Chaplin grew up. Recorded in September as part of the annual Scalarama film festival - when we screened Chaplin's film 'The Immigrant', which has its centenary in 2017, near to his childhood home at 39 Methley Street - we also talk to cast and crew of the play about Chaplin that was on at the Cinema Museum, 'The Little Tramp'.

Iranian cinema has close connections to the 1979 Islamic revolution. Ayatollah Khomeini , explicitly pointed to the uses of cinema for religious and revolutionary political purposes. But Iranian films and the means of film production gradually changed in the post-Khomeini period. In Reform Cinema in Iran: Film and Political Change in the Islamic Republic (Columbia University Press, 2016), Blake Atwood, Assistant Professor in the Department of Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Texas at Austin, explores the trajectories of Iranian cinema within the transforming cultural and political landscapes of the 1990s. Many of these changes were fostered by the leader of the Reformist Movement and then Iranian president, Mohammad Khatami. Atwood explores documentary and narrative films, political speeches, and institutional policies to determine how reform cinema shaped public opinion, social practices, and political sensibilities. During this period, there are observable changes in industrial and aesthetic cinematic practices that solidify into many of the characteristic features of Iranian film. In our conversation we discuss reform politics, spectatorship, new political opportunities for filmmakers, famous directors such as Mohsen Makhmalbaf and Abbas Kiarostami, campaign films, technological changes and video, documentaries, popular Filmfārsi, Iran's Cinema Museum, and the legacy of reform cinema today. Kristian Petersen is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of Nebraska Omaha. His research and teaching interests include Theory and Methodology in the Study of Religion, Islamic Studies, Chinese Religions, Human Rights, and Media Studies.

The Cinema Museum, based in the old Lambeth Workhouse which Charlie Chaplin visited as a child, is packed to the rafters with equipment, signage, furniture, uniforms and ephemera from picture houses across the decades. We talked to Ronald Grant, the founder of the museum, about its history and their vast collection. Visit cinemamuseum.org.uk for full details about visiting the museum and a full list of upcoming events.
