Podcasts about Joan Lindsay

While I feel like I've known about the existence of ‘Picnic at Hanging Rock' by Joan Lindsay for so very long, it even has a film adaptation, but the mysterious synopsis and the question it asks about fact vs fiction really speak to our dark academia adjacent desires. This is the first time either of us has read this modern classic! Let's dive in!

VIII "Picnic at Hanging Rock", de Joan Lindsay, es una novela de misterio publicada en 1967 que ha desconcertado a los lectores por generaciones. La historia está ambientada en Australia en el año 1900 y sigue a un grupo de estudiantes del Appleyard College, un internado victoriano para señoritas de clase alta. Durante una excursión a Hanging Rock el 14 de febrero, día de San Valentín, tres alumnas, Miranda, Marion e Irma, junto con una profesora, la señorita McCraw, desaparecen sin dejar rastro. Solo Edith, una de las jóvenes, regresa al campamento en estado de shock, incapaz de recordar lo sucedido. Las investigaciones comienzan, pero no logran esclarecer el enigma. La única pista concreta es el posterior hallazgo de Irma Leopold, una de las desaparecidas, aunque sin recuerdos de lo ocurrido. El misterio queda sin resolver, lo que lleva a múltiples teorías, desde lo racional hasta lo sobrenatural. Un misterio más allá de la ficción "Picnic en Hanging Rock" no es solo una novela, es una experiencia literaria que se adentra en lo inquietante, en lo inexplicable. La propia Joan Lindsay contribuyó a la sensación de ambigüedad al insinuar en entrevistas que la historia podría estar basada en hechos reales. Su aire enigmático, su mirada siempre evasiva al responder sobre la inspiración del libro, y el hecho de que escribiera la historia en apenas cuatro semanas, tras una serie de sueños lúcidos, han alimentado aún más el mito. El famoso “Capítulo 18”, eliminado de la publicación original y publicado póstumamente en The Secret of Hanging Rock(1987), plantea una hipótesis aún más extraña. En él, se sugiere que las chicas fueron absorbidas por una grieta en la roca, desapareciendo en lo que podría ser un portal dimensional o un fenómeno sobrenatural. Este final, lejos de cerrar la historia, la vuelve aún más misteriosa. ¿Era Lindsay simplemente una narradora excepcional? ¿O sabía algo que no quiso revelar del todo? Algunos investigadores han explorado registros históricos de la época y han encontrado informes de desapariciones en la región de Hanging Rock. Se ha hablado de niñas que desaparecieron sin dejar rastro, de rituales indígenas que consideraban el lugar sagrado, e incluso de posibles crímenes ocultos por el tiempo. Uno de los casos más perturbadores en relación con la historia de Lindsay es el de una exalumna de una escuela que podría haber inspirado el Appleyard College. A sus cien años, declaró: “Todos sabíamos sobre las chicas que desaparecieron, pero ninguno conocía los detalles”. Palabras inquietantes que dejan entrever que el misterio podría haber tenido una base real. También hay otro hecho extraño: Anne-Louise Lambert, la actriz que interpretó a Miranda en la adaptación cinematográfica de Peter Weir (1975), relató un momento escalofriante con Joan Lindsay. Durante el rodaje, la escritora la abrazó con lágrimas en los ojos y le dijo: "Miranda... ha pasado tanto tiempo". Anne intentó recordarle que ella solo era una actriz, pero Joan Lindsay parecía estar en otro tiempo, en otro lugar, como si realmente estuviera viendo a la verdadera Miranda. ¿Era un simple desliz de una anciana nostálgica, o realmente había visto algo en su niñez que nunca pudo explicar? Las dudas permanecen. ¿Es Picnic en Hanging Rock solo una obra de ficción? ¿O Lindsay fue, de algún modo, una vidente que captó los ecos de un suceso olvidado? La propia autora dejó esta frase en el prólogo original, antes de que fuera eliminada por los editores: "Para el autor, que conocía muy bien el Monte Macedon y la Roca Colgante, cuando era niño, la historia es completamente cierta.” HAZTE MECENAS, no dejes que La Biblioteca, cierre Nunca sus Puertas… Sigamos sumando en LLDLL, SUSCRIBETE en IVOOX y comparte.

50 years ago, a 20-something Peter Weir decided to hypnotise us away from the possibility of solutions when he adapted Joan Lindsay's novel into the Australian gothic horror classic, Picnic at Hanging Rock. On Valentine's day in 1900, the students from Miss Appleyard's depart their fortress-like school in rural Victoria for a lazy afternoon at the base of Hanging Rock. The hot wind blows in, the clocks stop, the girls peel off their stockings and, as the ants descend on the remains of the picnic, four girls ascend the rock, along with one of their teachers. Only one of them returns. As people hear of the mysterious disappearances, search parties break out, but only one girl is recovered, missing her corset and her memory of what happened at Hanging Rock. As are we all. Because if you need an ending you're a bit weak in the head.See AlsoThe Secret of Hanging Rock available on eBay or via this PDFJoan Linsday's memoir 'Time Without Clocks' published in 1962Mulberry Hill, Joan's house which is now owned by the National TrustInterview with producer Pat Lovell in Cinema Papers from 1976Scan of the scriptDeleted scene of Mrs Appleyard at the rock NFSA page that includes info about the costumes and deleted scenes and stills, interviews with cast and crewJudith Dorsman's dollsMartin Sharp's Tiny Tim concert film is on Plex and his unfinished doc Street of Dreams is on YouTubeThe BeguiledThe FitsUmbrella's Making of Picnic at Hanging Rock – part 1 and part 2Magic Dirt's She-Riff videoThe Fast Forward sketch Anne Lambert on ABC's just Between UsNew adaptation from Sydney Theatre Company playing 17 February – 5 April 2025 Hosted on Acast.

Zero and The Wiz RECOMMEND Picnic at Hanging Rock Picnic at Hanging Rock, Peter Weir's film based on the novel by Joan Lindsay, is definitely a movie that is for a specific type of person in a specific type of mood. It's a quite, beautiful but at times discomforting film about tragedy and how the people in a protected bubble react when tragedy strikes. It has exceptional cinematography and the direction by Weir sets up the ethereal vibe of the film that leads to it's eerie and discomforting tone. It's a film that both Wiz and Zero can see it's quality in. But Zero is perfectly fine with his singular viewing, while Wiz is not sure exactly how much he likes the film which will require multiple viewings to really grasp. Still, Picnic at Hanging Rock is a good film that, if you are a fan of someone like Sofia Coppola, should actually give this film a strong shot.

It's 1900 in Australia. A group of students from a girls' boarding school, brimming with the enthusiasm of youth, embark on what's supposed to be a carefree Valentine's Day outing at the iconic Hanging Rock. The ambience is idyllic, and the laughter is contagious. But as the day unfolds, this innocent trip takes a dark turn. Four girls, drawn inexplicably into the rock's embrace, venture deeper. By sunset, only one returns, memory erased, and a teacher is mysteriously gone.Behind this masterpiece is director Peter Weir, who, fresh from his first full-length feature film, The Cars That Ate Paris, crafts an atmosphere that is seen and felt. The cast, led by talents like Anne-Louise Lambert as the ethereal Miranda and Rachel Roberts as the stern Mrs Appleyard, breathe life into Joan Lindsay's iconic novel.But this film isn't just about the mystery of the missing. At its core, "Picnic at Hanging Rock" delves into themes of nature versus civilisation. The untouched beauty of the Australian wilderness stands in stark contrast to the Victorian-era restraints and societal expectations the girls grapple with. Themes of time, both its palpable passage on that fateful day and the metaphysical aspects, play heavily throughout the film. It challenges us to consider sexuality, the mysteries of adolescence, and the clash between the known and the unknown.This isn't just a movie; it's a mood, an atmosphere. It's a dreamlike state that lingers, asking viewers to grapple with the line between reality and the ethereal, the known and the unknowable. The haunting soundtrack and the Australian landscape's cinematic beauty craft a visceral and cerebral experience.And today, as we traverse this intricate cinematic landscape, we're joined by Tab. With her unique insights and deep appreciation for film, we're set to embark on a deep dive into this masterpiece. So, listeners, join us as we explore, analyse, and celebrate the intricacies and enigmas of "Picnic at Hanging Rock."Follow Tab and the Stiletto Banshees:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thestilettobanshees/Web: https://www.thestilettobanshees.com/Support the showIf you're enjoying the podcast, you can support me at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/dingomoviepod A Dingo Ate My Movie Socials:Web: dingomoviepod.comTwitter: @DingoMovieFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/dingomoviepodInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dingomoviepodLetterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/Feej/Email: pete@dingomoviepod.comSpotify Music Playlist (music from the movies featured on the podcast)Please note that this podcast often explores topics and uses language from past eras.

Time slips, time anomalies, missing time. How can we be so sure time flows in one direction. OBEs, UFO encounters and Near Death experiences all suggest time is much more flexible than conventional routine allows. Can we explore that? Certainly it is possible in OBE. Otherwise, for now - the trick is to simply hang on for the ride and get used to being given clues while making the adjustment to a radical relationship that allows for things to happen in a fashion that can be mind blowing - picture 'everywhere all at once'. The world opened in a new way for me when I discovered the book - and watched the series - Picnic at Hanging Rock. Amazon Link. I then followed up with The Secret of Hanging Rock and the Biography of Joan Lindsay to find more clues about Joan's unique view and relationship with time. While all that is going on -- [you experience what you focus on] -- I had a few interesting time anomalies and I revisit others that previously challenged me to revise my world view -- a reality reset. There are so many wonders begging to be incorporated into our reality. Apparently, due to lack of imagination or fear of the unknown, the only way they can be discovered is when someone trips over them. Eventually allowed/acknowledged existence when the due date on those who can't or refuse to experience them has expired. Consider a dimension where Alice in Wonderland is not a fantasy but guided tour of a world designed to trigger creativity and imagination, to awaken the awareness that anything and everything that happens is actually off the clock.

All that we see or seem - Is but a dream within a dream. - Edgar Allen Poe, Poetry Foundation. Picnic at Hanging Rock is more than just a book/film/story. I've experienced several paranormal anomalies in conjunction with my discovery of this content that make me extremely curious to find out more. It wasn't enough to see the recently updated series. I ordered the book and then added the posthumously published follow-up publication of the 18th chapter, The Secret of Hanging Rock, Amazon. (Still on the way, the Biography of the author, Joan Lindsay.) In the previous segment I talked about a perfectly timed Valentine - delivered via misdirected text. Valentine's Day was Joan's favorite holiday. Not only have the time related anomalies continued, I witnessed something I had never seen as I was uploading audio to a site. The time was out of sync. A glitch, no doubt - but a glitch I saw happen in real time. The other issue? An amazing find in the commentary included with The Secret of Hanging Rock. One of the contributors offers an Indigenous perspective. That was what I needed to see - and a truly wonderful surprise. The commenter is Mudrooroo, Colin Johnson. Deceased, 2019. Obit. “He was the premier Indigenous poet, novelist, essayist, playwright, and academic of the generation that created Aboriginal literature and an Aboriginal rights movement in Australia. He suggests the missing girls and their teacher had a UFO encounter...a topic that might have been too fringe for mass distribution at the time the story was published or even in the chapter reveal. Certainly a more relevant topic now with increased interest and greater acceptance of experiencers who have shared personal accounts indicating - missing time - is a common element related to UFO encounters. Even better, Mudrooroo offers the case of Kelly Cahill as an example. Reference: Youtube.

In this episode, Adam and Zands plunge into Peter Weir's 1975 gothic mystery film, Picnic at Hanging Rock, based on the novel by Joan Lindsay. In this film, a boarding school field trip into the Australian brush turns into horror when a group of students and one teacher mysteriously disappear. In their absence, questions are raised, secrets are revealed and the school's headmistress begins a tragic downward spiral. Discussed are the film's themes of humans vs. nature, traditionalism vs. modernity, repression, sexual awakening and many of the film's possible interpretations, plus the enigmatic final chapter excised from the source novel.

There have been several time anomalies over the past few days. A wayward text featured in the image is my highlight: Max (GSD) was my guardian angel. Before he came to live with me, my guides gave me a prompt. They said ‘the other is coming'… Max was the companion I never knew I needed. I was a cat person. Max was a soul mate. He died in 2007. The text is from a vet who never knew him. In the past week, I had stumbled upon a recent series that looked interesting based upon a film I hadn't seen but now wanted to track down. Picnic at Hanging Rock. Having tracked down the book, the film, the series, and the biography of the author, my husband and I started to binge the series Sunday, Feb 12. That's when the text came. There are a lot of interesting PSI elements in the background of the author and paranormal events in regard to time. Friends called her a mystic. The story for the book came to her in sequential dreams. In an interview - Joan Lindsay said she didn't put much stock in trying to judge time by a person's age. She wasn't fond of clocks and watches didn't work on her. She expressed a quirk with watches as her special gift, said she could stop people's watches simply by sitting beside them. And the other people who had their watches stopped didn't argue that point. Joan was a very interesting person who downplayed her talents - even as she made use of them No missing this paranormal anomaly. There was a spectacular clock incident at the premier of the film in 1975. The clock at the theater stopped at 12 o'clock. Expanding the view and the possibilities that we are connected beyond the physical form and death is not an ending, what if there is another angle related to my Valentine's Day surprise? Maybe someone had a vested interest and a goal in mind with that wayward text - and designed it to capture my attention with a message sure to make me reflect ... and think twice. It was Joan's favorite holiday. A valentine in appreciation for me liking her work? To affirm an afterlife? Or just for fun. Think twice.

We're starting 2023 with an Australin classic (our first!) - Picnic at Hanging Rock by Joan Lindsay. First published in 1967, this novel has an intriguing premise: The year is 1900 and a group of students from an all girls boarding ventures to Hanging Rock for a cosy afternoon picnic. But the outing takes a dark turn when three students and a teacher vanish into thin air… We chat about the novel's themes, its mystery/scifi elements, character dynamics, and try to get to the bottom of the myserious disappearance. Tune in and follow us @throughthepagespod on Instagram and TikTok for behind the scenes content!

En el séptimo episodio de Manderley —en el que participan Javier Urrutia, Marina Such, Carles Martínez Agenjo y Graciela Oliveira— analizamos las dos adaptaciones audiovisuales de la novela de Joan Lindsay de 1967, PICNIC EN HANGING ROCK. En el primer bloque del programa tratamos los orígenes del relato y de la autora, para luego adentrarnos en la ambigüedad, la mística de la naturaleza y las referencias pictóricas de la versión cinematográfica de Peter Weir de 1975, salida del contexto de la Nueva Ola del cine australiano. En la segunda parte del programa abordamos la reciente miniserie para televisión de 2018 y sus influencias estéticas e intereses temáticos, mucho más fiel a la fuente literaria pero también con sus grandes digresiones respecto al material original, con la guionista Beatrix Christian y la directora Larysa Kondracki como sus principales responsables creativas.

Sometimes, people disappear. There is something uniquely terrifying and captivating about the prospect of vanishing, or having someone you care about vanish. Even when there is a likely answer, the lack of absolute certainty regarding the fate of the missing can produce mysteries that puzzle us for decades or even centuries. From the Roanoke colonists, to the passengers of the Mary Celeste, to the works of Ambrose Bierce, and Joan Lindsay's classic Picnic at Hanging Rock, our fascination with and fear of unexplained disappearances can be strong enough to encourage the confusion of fact with fiction.----------------------My debut novel, THE SPITE HOUSE, is available for pre-order now through Barnes & Noble or an indie bookseller near you.----------------------For episode sources, scripts and more, visit healthyfears.com. For my publication credits, visit JohnnyCompton.com The opening theme for Healthy Fears: “Dark Game Background Loop” by Claudiu D.

Yet is it real?  It follows the story of an all girl's school picnic to Victoria's Hanging Rock in 1900, where a group of female students subsequently disappear.  The tale was brought to life in Peter Weir's classic Australian film in 1975.Joan Lindsay: Whether Picnic at Hanging Rock is fact or fiction, my readers must decide for themselves. As the fateful picnic took place in the year nineteen hundred, and all the characters who appear in this book are long since dead, it hardly seems important.Yes, you can speak to us to feature this show on your community radio station, or website, we would love to talk with you.  If you would like to reach out and help us with this fiercely Australian and independent podcast with sponsorship or product support, please contact us.We love your feedback and comments, and if you have something that you think we should feature, review, visit or discuss, then please drop us an email at  phatcat@iinet.net.au Like us on FacebookFollow us on InstagramSupport us on PatreonListen on SpotifyListen on AppleListen on GoogleListen on iHeartRadioListen on SoundcloudThank you for supporting us Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/user?u=27844421) Hosted on Acast.

The book is notable for it's rapid character switching and detailed descriptions of the scenery and unfolding events.I summarised the book as follows.

‘Whether Picnic at Hanging Rock is fact or fiction, my readers must decide for themselves.' It's a scorching St Valentine's Day in 1900 when three boarding-school girls and a teacher disappear during a day-trip to Hanging Rock in the arid Australian outback. Fact or fiction? Misadventure or murder? Accident or assassination? Join us on our latest literary podcast adventure as we delve into the mystery, history and hysteria of Joan Lindsay's classic Australian Gothic novel with Kate Young, author of The Little Library Cookbook. From the slow-seeping horror of Hanging Rock to coming-of-age tales of tuck boxes and midnight feasts, high jinks and humour, Kate guides the Slightly Foxed magazine team through the school-story tradition and asks why it's such fertile ground for fiction. On the way we visit the Chalet School, Malory Towers and St Trinian's, and slip into darker territory with Decline and Fall, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie and Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go. In this month's literary expedition, we take a peek inside Quentin Blake's House of Illustration, and to finish there's the usual wide-ranging round-up of current reading featuring: Anthony Buckeridge's classic Jennings series of prep-school stories; Emily Danforth's romp, Plain Bad Heroines, inspired by Shirley Jackson; and Tsitsi Dangarembga's tale of a young girl from a rural village in Zimbabwe, Nervous Conditions.Please find links to books, articles, and further reading listed below.

Episódio XXXVIII - Os passos perdidos, volume 01 (Joan Lindsay, René Crevel, Xul Solar) “Había grandes lagunas de semanas y semanas en la crónica de mi propio existir; temporadas que no me dejaban un recuerdo válido, la huella de una sensación excepcional, una emoción duradera; días en que todo gesto me producía la obsesionante impresión de haberlo hecho antes en circunstancias idénticas —de haberme sentado en el mismo rincón, de haber contado la misma historia, mirando al velero preso en el cristal de un pisapapel. Cuando se festejaba mi cumpleaños en medio de las mismas caras, en los mismos lugares, con la misma canción repetida en coro, me asaltaba invariablemente la idea de que esto sólo difería del cumpleaños anterior en la aparición de una vela más sobre un pastel cuyo sabor era idéntico al de la vez pasada.” (“Los Pasos Perdidos”, de Alejo Carpentier) Trigésimo oitavo episódio do Podcast da editora Raphus Press: A formação e a manutenção do cânone, usual na produção cultura, está longe de ser um pecado mortal, um crime de lesa-majestade divina – na verdade, trata-se de uma tarefa necessária para a formação de leitores e o estabelecimento coerente de uma historiografia cultural. Mas o cânone, por um lado, e a planificação empresarial do capitalismo contemporâneo acabaram por tornar inviáveis obras, visões e criações únicas, que se perdem na corveia anônima dos ignorados, enquanto as ruínas (já dizia Walter Benjamin) sobem até o céu. Para ao menos tentar ressuscitar os mortos, colar os pedaços, evitar que algo se perca, surge “Os passos perdidos”, o nome de um dos melhores romances do cubano Alejo Carpentier, com o objetivo de recuperar algo daquilo que se afastou do canônico e do planificado.

Emma is fascinated with the haunting Australian story Picnic at Hanging Rock, originally a book published in 1967 by Joan Lindsay. She had the opportunity to speak to Tom Wright, the playwright of Malthouse Theatre’s production of Picnic at Hanging Rock, and to visit the Macedon Ranges, the home of Picnic at Hanging Rock, to experience where the mystery all began. Picnic at Hanging Rock is on at the Malthouse Theatre until 20th March. Picture: Sourced from Malthouse Theatre website See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week Lee and Eddie are Tremblay-ing with anticipation as they interview Paul Tremblay, mathemetician, author of A Head Full of Ghosts, and one of a handful of authors to scare the living hell out of Stephen King! Listen in wonder as Lee asks interesting and thought-provoking questions of the acclaimed writer (who has a new novel coming out soon), wince in extreme embarassment as Eddie asks him to co-sign her home loan. He lists many influences, one of which is an all time favourite of both Lee and Eddie: Picnic at Hanging Rock by Joan Lindsay which they discuss at length (spoiler warning: give it a read!). The post 1.27 | Interview with Paul Tremblay, & Picnic at Hanging Rock appeared first on Crime Time.

Peter Weir's 1975 adaptation of Joan Lindsay's equivocally "true" novel is a trip, and not just because it's a mystery with no resolution. Sure it's success was based almost entirely on people thinking the story was real, but there's also a reason it won the BAFTA and Saturn awards for it's cinematography. It's a lovely movie, even if the answer to its central mystery remains unsolved and the answer Joan Lindsay came up with involves some sort of magic portal. It's probably best that Weir left that part out.
