Esta tarde hay música y dibujo al mismo tiempo en el programa. Nos visita el músico Kevin Johansen para interpretar algunas de sus canciones más conocidas mientras el historietista, ilustrador, pintor y editor argentino, Liniers, improvisa con sus pinceles y recrea esas canciones en dibujos en tiempo real. Este proyecto, que aúna música e ilustración, lleva en marcha más de quince años y recientemente ha tomado forma en el disco 'Desde que te Madrid', grabado en vivo en el Teatro Albéniz.Con Víctor Mora, en nuestra sección Género fluido, abordamos 'Orlando', la novela de Virginia Woolf, a través de varias obras que se han inspirado en ella. Primero, el documental del filósofo Paul B. Preciado, titulado también Orlando, estrenado en 2023. Y después, la adaptación cinematográfica dirigida por Sally Potter en 1993. Entre ambas películas hay 30 años de diferencia, pero la historia escrita hace casi un siglo por Woolf mantiene su vigencia y frescura.El compositor francés David Letellier, conocido como Kangding Ray, ha recibido el premio Cannes Soundtrack a la mejor banda sonora por su trabajo en Sirat, película del cineasta español Oliver Laxe. El filme también ha sido galardonado con el Premio del Jurado del Festival de Cannes 2025, compartido ex aequo con Sound of Falling, de Mascha Schilinski. Hoy, en el pueblo natal del director gallego, se ha proyectado la película y él mismo ha hablado con la prensa.Cerramos el programa con un viaje al Renacimiento veneciano. Paolo Veronese, figura clave del siglo XVI junto a Tiziano y Tintoretto, es el protagonista de una gran exposición antológica en el Museo del Prado. La muestra, que se inaugura hoy, es la principal apuesta primaveral del museo y ofrece un recorrido completo por la obra de este maestro del color, la elegancia y las composiciones monumentales. Nos lo cuenta Ángela Núñez.Escuchar audio
Der israelische Jazzpianist Yaron Herman hat erst als junger Erwachsener auf die Karte Musik gesetzt. Dass er dennoch international bekannt wurde, sei auch seinem Lehrer zu verdanken, schreibt er in seinem Buch über Kreativität. Ein Gespräch über erfolgreiches Lernen und das Wunder der Inspiration, das keineswegs nur Künstlern zugänglich ist, anlässlich von Yaron Hermans neuem Album – und seinem Buch «Le Déclic Créatif», das beim renommierten Verlag Fayard herauskommt. Der deutsche Saxofonist Tobias Meinhart ist seit 15 Jahren in der Musikszene New Yorks zuhause. Die Stimmung in der Kunstszene sei gedämpft, angesichts der politischen Lage, sagt er, im Gespräch über seine neue Musik, Flow und die Hoffnung, dass die Dinge sich bessern, wenn wir einander zuhören. Ausserdem geht's in Jazz & World Aktuell mit Annina Salis um «Cully Jazz», einen jungen Zürcher Newcomer und die Schaffenskraft einer Seniorin.

In ‘a wonderful book about looking and learning' (Gavin Francis) retired GP Iona Heath relates the importance that John Berger's work and friendship had on her working life as a doctor in a deprived London borough. Five decades of engagement with Berger's work and twenty years of friendship with the man himself made her, she is convinced, a better doctor. Heath was in conversation about Berger's legacy, for medicine and beyond, with film director and screenwriter Sally Potter, who wrote, on the occasion of his 90th birthday, ‘[John Berger] reminds us how to think about Charlie Chaplin, how to listen to songs, how to rage about prisons, how to remember that everything matters.'

Today Alex and I dive deep into The Tango Lesson (1997), Sally Potter's polarizing exploration of tango and artistic expression. From dissecting its surreal, dreamlike sequences to debating its portrayal of gender dynamics and power struggles, we leave no stone unturned. Is it a masterpiece of arthouse cinema or a frustrating watch with outdated aesthetics? We break down the film's symbolism, performances, and impact on the tango community—past and present. If you've seen The Tango Lesson or are curious about its legacy, this episode is for you! Join my private FaceBook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/sotangoworld Questions/comments?

“I think a lot of my work is about aspiring to something lofty. And then failing at it. Which I find funny”, says Alice Lowe, director and star of ‘Timestalker', showed on the Piazza Grande at the 77th Locarno Film Festival. In a free-flowing conversation on her influences and artistic aspirations, Lowe – a major star of UK sketch comedy of the 2000s, director of “Prevenge” and co-writer of “Sightseers” – sat down on Locarno Meets to talk through the sheer Britishness of her latest time travel comedy extravaganza, influenced by everything from Sally Potter to Powell & Pressburger to “Doctor Zhivago”, and getting her start at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival walking through a giant tambourine.
In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, recorded at the IT Press Tour in Malta, I am joined by Antoine Simkin, co-founder of Digi Film Corporation. Antoine Simkine is also the lead producer and managing director of the Paris-based Les Films d'Antoine, which was founded in 2004. He was also the executive producer of the VFX of about one hundred feature films such as “The City of Lost Children”, “Amelie”, “Alien Resurrection” by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, “The Ninth Gate” by Roman Polanski, “Ronin” by John Frankenheimer, “Joan of Arc” by Luc Besson, and “The Man Who Cried” by Sally Potter. Antoine Simkine has then worked for 20th Century Fox as VFX producer during the final phase of development of “I Robot” by Alex Proyas. With a unique background in cinema and digital visual effects, Antoine brings a fascinating perspective on the challenges and solutions for long-term data preservation in our rapidly evolving digital age. Antoine shares his journey from pioneering digital visual effects in the 1980s and 90s to tackling one of the industry's most pressing issues: the longevity of digital data. Reflecting on his experience working with formats like Sony DIR and DTF tapes, he highlights the challenges of data migration, evolving standards, and the risks of losing critical digital assets. His work with Digifilm Corporation introduces an innovative approach to solving these problems by blending the permanence of film with the precision of digital encoding. We explore how Digifilm's Archifix solution offers a robust alternative to traditional storage methods, ensuring data preservation for decades, if not centuries. Antoine provides insight into the diverse applications of this technology, from the cinematic world to industries such as nuclear power, defense, and architecture, where the need for secure, offline data storage is paramount. As data volumes grow exponentially and regulations around data integrity and security tighten, Antoine's vision for the future of Digifilm highlights the critical importance of balancing technological advancements with sustainable, long-term preservation strategies. Could this approach be the missing piece in solving the global data storage puzzle? What role could Digifilm play in securing our digital heritage for future generations? Listen, reflect, and join the conversation. Learn more at https://digifilm-corp.com/home
You know that feeling when you're watching a movie or TV show and the perfect song hits at the perfect moment? Think Lost in Translation when ‘Alone in Kyoto' by Air comes in, or the visceral scenes from The Bear soundtracked by Refused's ‘New Noise'.You don't just see films, you hear them.Such is the power and responsibility of the music supervisor who carefully selects the right song for the right scene and has it hit at just the right moment. It's Jemma Burns' job to make that magic.From the new series of Heartbreak High to Boy Swallows Universe, Top of the Lake to Okja, it's Jemma's brilliant music brain behind those perfect song selections.The theme for this Take 5 is synchronicity songs. Not the all-time greatest soundtrack moments, but stories from Jemma's own experience and relationship with film and sound.'Forbidden Colours' by Ryuichi Sakamoto from Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence (1983), directed by Nagisa Ōshima'The Rhythm Of The Night' by Corona from Beau Travail (1999), directed by Claire Denis 'Goon Gumpas' by Aphex Twin from Morvern Callar (2002), directed by Lynne Ramsay'Silly Games' by Janet Kay from Lover's Rock (2020), directed by Steve McQueen'Coming' by David Motion, Sally Potter & Jimmy Somerville from Orlando (1993), directed by Sally Potter
Issue 51 of the monthly magazine continues with Classics and Hidden Gems. First it's the earth-shattering news that co-host Alan hadn't seen The Godfather before, so that's our Classic for this month, digging into why he didn't get round to it until now and what he thought. Then we talk about why you should get round to watching Mr Holland's Opus, a feelgood film that seems to be all but forgotten these days. Double Reel Monthly is already out, featuring reviews of the Bikeriders, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F and Fancy Dance, and a look back at Sally Potter's Orlando. Next week we conclude this month's issue with the Remakes Tribunal, asking if True Lies should have been made and if Day of the Animals could be salvaged with a remake.
Endlessly fascinating, dark and bright, The Red Shoes (1948) employs every branch of the cinematic arts to sweep the audience off its feet, invigorated by the transcendence of art itself, only to leave them with troubling questions. Representing the climax of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's celebrated run of six exceptional feature films, the film remains a beloved, if unsettling and often divisive, classic. Pamela Hutchinson's study of the film, published by Bloomsbury in 2023, examines its breathtaking use of Technicolor, music, choreography, editing and art direction at the zenith of Powell and Pressburger's capacity for 'composed cinema'. Through a close reading of key scenes, particularly the film's famous extended ballet sequence, she considers the unconventional use of ballet as uncanny spectacle and the feminist implications of the central story of female sacrifice. Hutchinson goes on to consider the film's lasting and wide-reaching influence, tracing its impact on the film musical genre and horror cinema, with filmmakers such as Joanna Hogg, Sally Potter, Martin Scorsese and Brian De Palma having cited the film as an inspiration. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Période creuse pour les salles obscures, on ne va pas se mentir les distributeurs sont assez frileux de sortir leurs grosses cartouches. Peu de nouveautés ciné à se mettre sous la dent cette semaine mais il y a des choses à dire sur les sorties de la semaine. "Haikyu", le film d'animation pour les plus jeunes, n'a pas été montré à la presse. Petit film d'auteur qui nous vient du Soudan : "Goodbye Julia". Un film primé au festival de Cannes l'année dernière mais qui s'adresse à un public qui posséderait quelques notions de politique de la région. Une ressortie en salles, dans une version 4K restaurée d'un film d'auteur très pointu qui date de 1992 : "Orlando" de Sally Potter. L'adaptation du roman de Virginia Woolf, notamment, récompensée aux Oscar. Pour les amateurs de cinéma pointu, je dois vous dire que, malheureusement, c'est la déception de la semaine. Le seul film qui avait un potentiel un peu plus mainstream : "The Watchers", ("Les Guetteurs" en français). Un premier film pour Ishana Shyamalan qui n'est autre que la fille de Night Shyamalan, le réalisateur du "6e Sens", d'"Incassable", un des grands noms dans le registre de l'épouvante contemporaine. ---Tous les mercredis à 8h45, Cathy Immelen épingle pour vous les sorties cinéma .

"Paroles, Paroles" de Sébastien Ministru : "Tant de belles choses" de Françoise Hardy. L'auteure de bande dessinée et illustratrice française Églantine Chesneau pour sa BD "Vies en jeux : Leur flamme éclaire l'Histoire" (Vents d'Ouest). C'est Héraclès qui aurait eu l'idée des jeux d'Olympie en Grèce antique. Depuis, le monde a bien changé. Au cours du XXe siècle, des athlètes ont même réussi un double exploit… celui de battre des records mais aussi de faire évoluer les mentalités. Par leur détermination, certains ont su s'imposer dans des disciplines très variées et faire évoluer le regard de la Société. C'est le cas de Jesse Owens, jeune afro-américain qui se surpasse aux JO de 1936, dans une Allemagne cernée par les drapeaux nazis. Ou de Lis Hartel, cavalière danoise, qui malgré un handicap remonte en selle et remporte deux victoires olympiques dans un domaine jusque-là réservé aux hommes. Plus récemment, la légende du sport français Marie-José Pérec, victime d'un acharnement médiatique à une époque où la question de la santé mentale était encore inconnue, éclaire l'histoire de la gymnaste Simone Biles et sa prise de parole deux décennies plus tard. Ces figures émergentes, inspirantes, sont devenues un symbole fort de liberté et de courage. Parfois tombés dans l'oubli, ces femmes et ces hommes qui ont marqué l'histoire des jeux Olympiques, repartent pour un tour d'honneur grâce au trait d'Eglantine Chesneau. L'autrice nous propose de redécouvrir le parcours de 16 sportifs, 16 destins hors du commun !

Writer and resident Gilbert & Sullivan expert Julia Sirmons joins to discuss Mike Leigh's 'Topsy-Turvy', a story of the aforementioned musical duo and the production of one of their most popular shows, 'The Mikado'. It's a film that feels at once like an outliler in Leigh's career up to that point (his first film not set in contemporary working-class London) and a pitch-perfect culmination of many of his career-long explorations. We begin with a discussion about the legacy of director Mike Leigh, his unusual method for drawing brilliant performances from his ensemble of some of the very best British actors, and his trademark style and narrative construction. Then, we unpack the works of Gilbert & Sullivan, exploring Topsy-Turvy's commitment to authenticity in its recreation of 19th century English theater culture, and the wise decision to focus the film on a particularly unstable moment in the long collaboration between the wordsmith and composer. Finally, we discuss the film's evocation of art and its production process, emphasizing the granular repetition of the work as well as the undergirding capitalist mechanics that necessitated performers assume a strong identity as a collective labor force.

In this episode, Ralph and Owen journey into the spectral wastes of British film, asking: what went wrong, and what is to be done? Through kitchen sink realism, folk-horror spooks, socially-engaged documentarians, materially-inclined avant-gardism, and more than a handful of oddballs, the situation seems as underwhelming as it was in 1927, when Kenneth Macpherson opined that “it is no good pretending one has any feeling of hope about it”. Ninety-seven years later, is the landscape still as dispiriting – and why did ‘we' never get our own New Wave – and why are we still stuck in the kitchen sink? Through cash, ‘character', class, and capital, there's a lot to unpick. Regardless, the boys do their best to keep the aspidistra flying. Who do they discuss? Who don't they! Anderson, Macpherson, Grierson, Hogg, Keillor, Reisz, Clark, Watkins, Jarman, Brook, Greenaway, Powell & Pressburger, Reed, Lean, Hitchcock, Loach, Leigh.

Tonight's Guest WeatherBrain is a social scientist senior Hazard and Risk Management Researcher at GNS Science in New Zealand. Dr. Sally Potter, welcome to the podcast.
Sally Potter is a ground-breaking film-maker, best known for her bold 1992 adaptation of Virginia Woolf's novel Orlando. Starring Tilda Swinton, it was nominated for two Academy Awards and won more than 25 international film prizes. With her 1983 debut feature The Gold Diggers, which starred Julie Christie, Sally Potter led an all-female cast and crew, establishing herself as a trailblazing figure within independent cinema. She is renowned for her radical and experimental approach to film-making. Her 2004 love story Yes was scripted entirely in iambic pentameter; Rage in 2009, set backstage at a fashion show and starring Jude Law, Steve Buscemi and Judi Dench, became the world's first movie to premier directly on mobile phones. A multitasking filmmaker, Sally Potter's screen credits also include actor, editor, choreographer and composer. She has written and directed nine feature films including The Party and The Roads Not Taken. Sally Potter tells John Wilson about her upbringing in a liberal, creative household in London. She recalls how she was given a 8mm cine camera by the artist Sandy Daley when she was 14, the start of her fascination with film-making. After learning more about the craft of cinematography, processing and editing film at the London Film Cooperative, she studied dance and choreography at The Place, an experience that later inspired her 1997 film the Tango Lesson. Having recently released an album of songs, she talks about the creative impulse that inspired them. She also discusses reading Virginia Woolf's Orlando and the struggle to make her screen adaptation in the face of warnings from film producers that the book was ‘unfilmable'. Producer: Edwina Pitman
You may know Sally Potter as the groundbreaking English director of such films as Orlando, The Tango Lesson and Yes, but now she also is a recording artist. At age 73 Potter has released her first solo album, Pink Bikini, writing, singing and playing keyboards. The songs look back on her teenage years in 1960s London, when she was discovering her own sexuality, wrestling with shame, rebelling against her mother and finding her artistic and political voices. Speaking from her studio, Potter also reflects on the transformative effect of having a film camera in her hands at age 14, the paucity of female filmmakers when she started and her unwillingness to let age limit her creative pursuits. As she puts it: “Who cares about the calendar?”
Hello listeners! In this episode, Tyler chats with Elliott Kalan, co-host of wildly successful bad movie podcast The Flop House, Emmy Award winning head writer of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, and the creative force behind the comics MANIAC OF NEW YORK and MANIAC OF NEW YORK: THE BRONX IS BURNING. Elliott discusses his earliest inspirations for Maniac Harry, a masked and immortal killer, whose murderous rampages become a semi-regular occurrence/nuisance to New Yorkers, his rules of satire and thoughts on storytelling as a vehicle for social messaging, plus why THE TAKING OF PELHAM 123 is his favorite film and a glorious portrait of '70s New York. Lastly, Elliott gives some insight into the ongoing writer's strike and how to support those most impacted by it.

In this chat, we get to meet the fantastic, storied filmmaker Sally Potter. The writer-director of such acclaimed and varied films such as Orlando and Ginger & Rosa, Sally is actually just now releasing her debut full-length album (!) which is called Pink Bikini. In this conversation, Sally and I talk a lot about the new record - its themes, its songs, its lyrics, its music, some of her influences and inspirations - as well as what drove her to recording and releasing such a personal singer-songwriter album now, after such a robust career in cinema. We talk about her film work (especially the Tilda Swinton-starring, Virginia Woolf adaptation Orlando), how her filmmaking overlaps with her music making, and so much more. It was a humbling honor to talk to a cinema great, and her new album is such a delightfully wondrous surprise. I think you'll enjoy this as much as I did. Thank you for listening.

She had many gatherings of the Bloomsbury Group in that house. See the windows with the balcony in front? I sat in that room as an inaugural student in the Gender Studies program at University of London. One of my favorite memories ever.Mariah mentioned the gender non-conforming writer and performance artist Alok Vaid-Menon BooksFor me there is nothing like reading about someone's life through their diaries.

The Roads Not Taken is the third in a trio of films about taking care of an adult relative. JJ really struggled with it, in part due to his own experiences with similar situations. Steve, on the other hand, found his own way to make connections and sense out of it. Both agree that it's a challenging film to watch. Writer/director Sally Potter put together a film that is very clearly a personal one. The question is whether it is intended to be oblique or if it is such a personal film that audiences aren't expected to fully access the intent and meaning behind it.
