Seamus McGarvey is drawn to character-driven stories and loves how the camera studies the face in a very particular way. Even when shooting action-packed shows such as The Nevers, Marvel's The Avengers, or the Oliver Stone film, World Trade Center, Seamus stays focused on the characters and uses a naturalistic approach to his composition. The Nevers was Seamus' first extensive experience working on a television series. He had only shot TV episodes here and there, such as “Nosedive,” a favorite episode of Black Mirror, starring Bryce Dallas Howard. For Seamus, shooting a television series was a much faster production schedule and made him think with economy. The Nevers creator Joss Whedon wanted the show to have a contemporary edge, but set in Victorian times, about people known as “The Touched” who suddenly develop supernatural, superhero-like abilities. Fortunately, they had a long preproduction prep time for the action-packed series, which made for a close-knit, collaborative and well-prepared crew. Seamus also worked closely with the second unit, who shot the numerous stunts in The Nevers. He was also able to use some old-school camera tricks for Primrose, a character who's a giant. Seamus had to double the actor's actual height with forced perspective, used a slightly slow-motion camera, and the aid of some special effects, making sure that the lighting stayed consistent between the normal-sized shots and the giant shots. From an early age, cinema as an art form always fascinated Seamus. He was excited to work on a tiny throwback short film in the late 1990's called Flying Saucer Rock 'n' Roll, which is a spoof of black and white sci-fi B movies. It's still his favorite film, because it's so full of invention, charm and joy. Seamus went back home to shoot it in Ireland, even after he'd already established his career with several feature films, and they shot it for no money. Steven Spielberg even saw it, loved it, and invited the director, Enda Hughes to meet with him to develop something at Amblin. Seamus also enjoyed working with director and writer Drew Goddard on Bad Times at the El Royale. The set for the movies was completely built from scratch, which enabled the crew to build in practical light sources and be involved in the design from the beginning. The camera was able to move all over the set and look in all directions. Bad Times is a mystery puzzle movie that all fits together in the end, and Seamus used many visual cues of double images, mirrors and the camera peering through the lattice work to hint at all the character's hidden secrets. Because of his love of natural photography, Seamus also enjoys shooting documentaries, such as Harry Dean Stanton: Partly Fiction, about the legendary actor Harry Dean Stanton. He occasionally uses documentary sensibilities in narrative film as well. In We Need To Talk About Kevin, director Lynn Ramsay and Seamus went with actor Tilda Swinton's idea to spontaneously shoot in the rain as part of a flashback scene. Seamus is currently in post-production on Cyrano, his latest production with director Joe Wright.

BLUE NOTE RECORDS: BEYOND THE NOTES chronicles one of the most important record labels in the history of jazz — and, by extension, that of American music. Blue Note Records has been home to such groundbreaking artists as Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane, Bud Powell and Art Blakey, as well as present-day luminaries like Robert Glasper, Ambrose Akinmusire and Norah Jones. Founded in New York in 1939 by German Jewish refugees Alfred Lion and Francis Wolff, the history of Blue Note Records goes beyond the landmark recordings, encompassing the pursuit of musical freedom, the conflict between art and commerce and the idea of music as a transformative and revolutionary force. Through rare archival footage, current recording sessions and conversations with jazz icons Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter and today’s groundbreaking Blue Note musicians, BLUE NOTE RECORDS: BEYOND THE NOTES reveals a powerful mission and illuminates the vital connections between jazz and hip hop. Filmmaker Sophie Huber gained her filmmaking experience as a member of an award winning Berlin film collective. Huber’s debut feature documentary, the critically acclaimed HARRY DEAN STANTON: PARTLY FICTION, premiered at the Venice Film Festival in 2012. Director Sophie Huber joins us to talk about chronicling the lives and musical journey for many of the greatest artists of the 20th Century and the German Jewish refugees who provided them with a platform in her second remarkable feature documentary BLUE NOTE RECORD: BEYOND THE NOTES.

Monday's Bombshell (Bombshell Radio) Bombshell Radio Lynchland – David Lynch Archivist 8am-9am EST 2pm-3pm CEST 1pm-2pm BST bombshellradio.com *Special Repeat Show#country, #flamenco, #folk, #jazz, #rockA few weeks before he sadly passed away, our dear friend Harry Dean Stanton had a present for us, for which we can't thank him enough: he put together a list of fifteen of his favorite songs. Harry was one of the most committed collaborators of David Lynch since their first work together on "The Cowboy and the Frenchman" (1988), appearing in such major films as "Wild at Heart", "Fire Walk With Me", "The Straight Story" or "Inland Empire", among other projects. Lately, together with David Lynch, he appeared in John Carroll Lynch's "Lucky", in which he played the titular role; he also reprised the role of Carl Rodd in Twin Peaks 2017 and gave a very memorable performance. If you haven't seen it yet, do check out Sophie Huber's 2012 "Harry Dean Stanton: Partly Fiction", a great documentary about Harry's life and career, in which he also sings quite a few songs.01 Ry Cooder & Harry Dean Stanton - CanciÛn Mixteca 00:00 02 Vicente Fern·ndez - Volver Volver 04:20 03 Steve Goodman - City of New Orleans 07:17 04 Roy Orbison - Blue Bayou 11:05 05 Harry Nilsson - Everybody Talkin' 13:30 06 Johnny Cash - Danny Boy 16:17 07 Creedence Clearwater Revival - Proud Mary 19:24 08 Fats Waller - I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter 22:28 09 Bob Dylan & The Hawks - I Shall Be Released 25:56 10 Roger Miller - Me and Bobby McGee 29:52 11 Robert Earl Keen - The Road Goes On Forever 33:49 12 Bob Dylan - Like a Rolling Stone 38:44 13 Kris Kristofferson - Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down 44:50 14 Joni Mitchell - Big Yellow Taxi 49:16 15 Paco de LucÌa y RamÛn de Algeciras - Las MaÒanitas 51:32 16 Harry Dean Stanton - Danny Boy 54:20

In this week's Movie Date podcast, Rafer and Kristen look at strange array of movies, including an indie documentary ("Harry Dean Stanton: Partly Fiction"), a horror flick ("Insidious: Chapter 2"), and an aging mobster comedy ("The Family"). They also look at "Austenland" with the help of Meg Levin, one of the New York City coordinators of the Jane Austen Society of North America.
HARRY DEAN STANTON: PARTLY FICTION is a mesmerizing, impressionistic portrait of the iconic actor comprised of intimate moments, film clips from some of his 250 films and his own heart-breaking renditions of American folk songs. Stunningly lensed in color and b/w by Seamus McGarvey, the film explores the actor's enigmatic outlook on his life, his unexploited talents as a musician, and includes candid scenes with David Lynch, Wim Wenders, Sam Shepard, Kris Kristofferson and Debbie Harry. The fragile soul of an actor emerges from the poignant collage. We are joined by Director Sophie Huber for a conversation on the challenges of getting inside the closely guarded world of Harry Dean Stanton and his famous friends.

A Filmklub podcast harmadik adásában a velencei filmfesztiválon szerzett élményeinkről beszélgetünk. Vendégünk Bognár Péter, a magyar filmforgalmazás szürke eminenciása (vagy mostanában bujdosó Rákóczija), aki az utóbbi pár évben a Magyarhangya mozgalom társalapítójaként puhatolja, hogyan lehet kultúrát eljuttatni a közönséghez. A velencei felhozatalból tizenöt filmről ejtünk szót: The Master, Fill The Void, Passion, Pieta, Outrage: Beyond, Spring Breakers, To The Wonder, Thy Womb, Paradise: Faith, Betrayal, The Company You Keep, Me Too, Harry Dean Stanton: Partly Fiction, Bad 25, The Tightrope. Kiderül, hogy miért a velencei a legszimpatikusabb filmfesztivál, kitárgyaljuk a szombat este kiosztott díjak jogosságát, és megpróbáljuk megsaccolni, hogy a Velencében bemutatott filmek közül melyikeket láthatjuk majd a magyar mozikban is.
