So cinemas are open which is hugely exciting! What are people going to see? And where? Lots of things that have had releases are back on big screens like Nomadland and Sound of Metal and Ammonite, which is cool because I think they’re all films that will benefit from that sense of surroundedness that you can only get from the cinema.  And so it feels fitting that my guest this week has worked in cinemas and is an advocate for the kind of tangible film-going experience and that person is Tara Judah. Tara is a cultural critic, film programmer and curator and occasional video essayist. She was Watershed's Cinema Producer for two years, having freelanced in programming and editorial for the Watershed's archive, classic and repertory film festival, Cinema Rediscovered, which launched in 2016. Tara was also Co-Director at 20th Century Flicks video shop and programmed films for Australia's iconic single screen repertory theatre, The Astor, and for Melbourne's annual feminist film event, Girls on Film Festival.  And she is currently Editor of Critics Reviews at MUBI and writes a bi-weekly column for an online journal called Ubiquarian that focuses on experimental cinema alongside documentaries and shorts and champions the forms or mediums that surprise us. We talk about being a mature student, redefining experimental cinema, criticism and film-festival going in the time of a pandemic, increasing transparency around freelance rates and fees and producing work that is unique to you. I’m not going to lie, I had high expectations for this chat, because Tara is such a thoughtful and critical thinker and writer, and it did not disappoint, Tara contends with lots of thorny and important issues in the industry and raises lots of salient points, so I do hope you enjoy listening.   Show notes: Cinema Rediscovered Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way Tara's column 'Reflections' for Ubiquarian Europa Cinemas report on innovation & audience-building So Mayer Just Another Girl on the I.R.T.

With awards season approaching, we delve into Germany’s Oscar-entry And Tomorrow the Entire World. This urgent political drama follows new Antifa member Luisa (Mala Emde) as she finds her feet in Germany’s anti-fascist organisation. Anna’s first guest is the writer-director Julia von Heinz. Having based the film on personal experience, Julia talks about the terrifying moments she faced as a young Antifa member and how she tried to replicate that fear and frenzy onscreen. She further delves into the cinematography choices she made with DOP Daniela Knapp and recalls the casting process for her female protagonist. Anna and Julia discuss the powerful effect of a song and why the film is sadly so relevant today. Next, Anna is joined by critics Emma Jones and Tara Judah. Together they unpack the film’s central female friendship and explore its portrait of youth. Prompted by her favourite scene, Emma dreams of life in a commune. From protests to pregnancy tests, the critics then turn to Kiwi comedy Baby Done. They talk about the pressures of impending motherhood, and praise the depiction of a woman who's conflicted by her pregnancy. Finally, they offer a teaser review of upcoming revenge thriller Promising Young Woman.

Part of our new series devoted to exploring the vampire in horror cinema, in this episode we jump ahead into the 1990s to celebrate the 25th anniversary of one of the most interesting, moodiest films about vampires ever made: Abel Ferrara's The Addiction (1995), starring Lili Taylor, Christopher Walken and Annabella Sciorra. Joining us in this episode is writer and curator Tara Judah. This season is made possible with the support of Arrow Video. This week's pick from their vast catalogue is The Addiction, re-released just this year in a stunning 4K restoration.

While the halcyon days of films being released into the cinema seem a distant memory and Watershed Cinemas were more closed than open, this month's podcast still finds a rich array of fantastic films to remember from 2020.This month Mark Cosgrove, Watershed Cinema Curator, Tara Judah, Watershed Cinema Producer and Thea Berry, film programmer and producer, share their highlights of the year. Albeit some were only available through Watershed online and lacking in the convivial community of the shared viewing experience, they conclude there was still plenty to enjoy in film in 2020.

We're joined by Watershed's Cinema Producer and film critic Tara Judah for a discussion on David Cronenberg's body horror classic The Brood (1979). We talk about taboos around motherhood, birth, divorce, how the film was perceived on release and how it's aged, Oliver Reed, and so much more. *** The Final Girls are a UK-based film collective exploring the intersections of horror film and feminism.

The Witches (1990), Nicholas Roeg's adaptation of Roald Dahl's book, is traumatising af. A young boy and his grandmother as stumble onto a witch's convention. The witches are wicked and sadistic, and beneath their appearance as regular women are hideous, bald, toe-less creatures who hate children more than anything else. Their leader, the Grand High Witch (portrayed with maximum camp by Anjelica Huston) is the worst witch of them all. I'm joined by the wicked smart Tara Judah, Cinema Producer at the Watershed in Bristol and frequent collaborator of The Final Girls, to dig into some of the reasons why this film, and Angelica Huston's performance, really gets under your skin. We talk about Anjelica Huston's sexy, slinky and campy take on the Grand High Witch, the grotesque physicality of the witches, how this fits into Nicholas Roeg's other work and why it remains terrifying for both children AND adults. *** The Final Girls are a UK-based film collective exploring the intersections of horror film and feminism.

We're diving into a childhood favourite and campy classic Hocus Pocus, from 1993. The devious Sanderson Sisters (a trio of witches, played by Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimi) return from the grave to continue their quest for immortality. The Sandersons were burnt at the stake in the 17th century because of their penchant for, ahem, sucking the lifeforce of children to remain forever young, beautiful and powerful. They come back from the grave in the 1990s, where a scrappy gang of kids, including a magical, talking cat, take it upon themselves to stop the coven. There's also a musical number because, you know, Bette Midler. In this episode, I welcome not one but two esteemed guests: film critic and broadcaster Tara Judah, and Thea Berry, Cinema Producer at the Watershed in Bristol and curator of the film season Reclaiming The Witch, which played at the Watershed last year. We talk about the terrifying make-up of the Sanderson sisters, the campiness versus the creepiness, how witches are  hate children, *that* musical number, and the things that terrified us about witches as children. *** To coincide with our season of films and events, Here Be Witches, we will be focusing this first series on exploring all things witchcraft on film. Each episode, we will dive deep into films and TV shows that we can't necessarily screen. Each episode, we'll be joined with special guests to dissect and discuss a film or show, its legacy and the way witches are represented.

Do you pretend to have seen Citizen Kane? Nod along when your friends are discussing the ins and outs of The Three Colours Trilogy without knowing what the hell they’re talking about? Avoided the Fast and Furious films like the plague because you fear it'll be as if Michael Bay has taken amphetamines? Due to personal preferences, everyone has blindspots when it comes to cultural touch-points and cinema is no different. When it comes to movies, hosts Timon Singh and Tara Judah are generally at opposite ends of the cinematic spectrum. One likes their films with depth, feeling and something important to say. The other is happy if there’s aliens, swords or a good car chase in there somewhere. On Cinema Blindspot, Ti and Tara will introduce to the other a film that they would not normally watch, has passed them by or have deliberately avoided and discuss whether or not they have been wrong all this time. In this introductory episode, the Ti and Tara discusses their cinematic differences, key blindspots in their film knowledge and their mutual love of Nicolas Cage.  Tara Judah is a freelance film writer and radio critic, as well as co-director of Bristol's premier video shop 20th Century Flicks.
