https://notesonfilm1.com/2024/07/08/thinking-aloud-about-film-ritrovato-round-up-2024/ Richard and I return to the podcast with our Ritrovato Round-up. Last year I couldn't go due to health reasons and I interviewed him; this year, the tables were turned and he interviews me. Ritrovato is so vast and generous in its programming that everyone who attended would have had a different experience of the festival. This is an account of mine. We criticise the booking system and people's piggish habit of taking out their phones during screenings. Cinephiles do know better, which makes it all the worse. The rest is mainly hossanas. We praise Daniel Bird's programming of the Parajanov Strand. We note how even seeing familiar films can be the basis of a rediscovery and discuss how the programme of Dietrich films at the festival should re-write the narrative of the Von Sternberg/ Dietrich collaborations from one of a Svengali act of moulding to a feminist act of self-creation. We touch on Delphine Seyrig, the Dark Heimat Strand, Gustaf Molander, Anatole Litvak and highlight Carlos Sauras' Los golfos and Montxo Armendáriz Tasio from the Cinema Libero strand. We also discuss seeing films at the stunning Cinema Modernissimo, watching Les parapluies de Cherbourg at the Piazza Maggiore and many other bits and bobs.

The "best sci-fi film" never made? That's what Andrzej Zulawski's project has been called. Shut down by the Polish government before production had finished in 1977, the film wasn't completed and released until 1987. It's a visually stunning and wildly ambitious exploration of myth, religion and being human in an alien world. Zulawski (1940-2016) studied cinema in France and became known for art-house films working with actresses including Romy Schneider, Isabelle Adjani and Sophie Marceau. Matthew Sweet and his guests Daniel Bird, Sarah Dillon and David Hering, have been watching On the Silver Globe.Producer: Torquil MacLeod

The world is changing rapidly these days, and a Spiritual Awakening is taking place. More people every day are coming into contact with Spiritual energy and witnessing signs and communications from outside their usual senses. Many times, signs come from our Spirit Guides, our Higher Selves (soul level), and even from God or Source. In the past, most of us simply ignored the signs or chalked them up to coincidence. But with awareness we can be open to these sorts of activities, and realize there is a great deal going on around us that we don't usually notice.Awakening opens the communication doors and we can understand our Spiritual journey in this lifetime for what it is: a temporary stop in a much bigger journey. Dr. Bird will share examples from his book, Waking Up in the Spiritual Age, and discuss Spiritual Awakening and how it effects all of us. His key message is that it is all normal, not to be feared, and not even necessary! The topic calls you or does not, and that is OK. Everyone is on their own path and he will help you understand that wherever you are on yours is the perfect place for you to be!Contact Info: wakinguptospirit.comPresentation from the 2017 Ozark Mountain Transformation Conference.FOLLOW US ON:Facebook: https://goo.gl/rwvBfwInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ozarkmtpubTwitter: https://goo.gl/LunK5DWebsite: https://goo.gl/2d5cX4ASSOCIATED LINKS:Ozark Mountain Publishing, Inc.: https://goo.gl/xhgoAPQuantum Healing Hypnosis Academy: https://goo.gl/64G7RD

Tonight I'm examining the film “On the Silver Globe.” Where to start? The Polish science fiction film is a stunning, mind-bending and unique work of pure cinema. But its backstory is almost as intriguing as the film itself "On the Silver Globe" began multiple locations in the Soviet bloc in the mid 1970s, with the film crew traveling from Mongolia to the shores of the Baltic Sea and plumbing the depths of a disused salt mine which stood in for an alien underground temple. An adaptation of the landmark Polish science fiction series The Lunar Trilogy by Jerzy Żuławski, the grand uncle of “On the Silver Globe” director Andrzej Żuławski, was funded by the communist Polish government and planned to be a showcase for the possibilities of Polish cinema. However, officials shut down production about 70 percent through the shooting citing budget issues. Years after filming ended, when the sets were destroyed and the costumes had rotted away, Żuławski edited the footage together, filming unrelated street scenes with narration describing the parts of the story that went unfilmed and premiered the film at the 1988 Canne film festival. Since a 2016 restoration, appreciation for the film has grown, illustrated by the recent release of the European behind-the-scenes documentary “Escape to the Silver Globe.” Vice magazine called "On the Silver Globe" the greatest science fiction movie never made. While the final result is not the film Żuławski set out to make, the film is a visually striking and elusive work of art. It's a one of a kind movie that defies not just categorization but description. East European film scholar Daniel Bird joins me to explore "On the Silver Globe," "The Lunar Trilogy" and Zurawski's unique and expressive approach to filmmaking. Daniel Bird is co-founder of the post-production and production company Acid Pictures, through which he has co-produced restorations of Jane Campion's "Peel (https://www.festival-lumiere.org/manifestations/peel-exercice-de-discipline.html)," Stephen Sayadian's "Dr. Caligari (https://fantasiafestival.com/en/film/dr-caligari)" and Peter Weir's "Picnic at Hanging Rock (https://2020.festival-lumiere.org/en/lecture-zen/horror.html)." He directs the Hamo Bek-Nazarov Project (http://hamobeknazarov.com/), through which he has produced Temple of Cinema, an installation featuring outtakes from Sergei Parajanov's "The Colour of Pomegranates," Parajanov Triptych (a programme of restored shorts from Armenia, Ukraine and Georgia), and a restoration of Maria Saakyan's "Mayak." He is also the co-founder of Friends of Walerian Borowczyk, which recently worked with MUBI to distribute a restoration of "Brief von Paris."

Film historian and Hamo Bek-Nazarov Project co-founder Daniel Bird joins Ally Pitts to discuss this astonishing debut feature by the late Armenian-Russian director Maria Saakyan.  To celebrate the release of the new restoration the film on region-free Blu-ray, Second Run are offering 10% off the list price of The Lighthouse and/or any other Blu-ray or DVD on Secondrundvd.com. coupon code RUSSOPHILES at check-out.

In the summer of 1976, the late Polish film director Andrzej Żuławski, responsible for infamous cult classics such as The Devil (1972) and Possession (1981), was given a green light to shoot the most expensive film ever made in Poland. On the Silver Globe was meant to be a massively ambitious science-fiction epic set on the Moon, showing the birth of a new civilisation, and produced without the benefit of modern special effects. But things didn't quite go to plan. The huge ambitions of a temperamental and demanding director combined with the financial and technological realities of 1970s Poland meant that the production faced an uphill battle from the first day of shooting. But with over 70% of the film already shot, and the end almost in sight, On the Silver Globe unexpectedly fell victim to the whims of a Communist Party hardliner and was relegated to cinematic history. How do you make a space opera without Hollywood special effects in a state-run economy? What were the crew doing in Mongolia? Who was Janusz Wilhelmi and why did he shut down the production?
