Free film critics’ day at Cinema Rediscovered

By Robin Askew  Wednesday May 31, 2017

The programme for the second annual Cinema Rediscovered feast of film classics and digital restorations is due to be revealed shortly. Already announced is a very timely Manipulating the Message strand devoted to journalism on screen.

We’ll have a full preview soon, but an important deadline is looming for aspiring film critics and bloggers. The inaugural State of Things film critics’ day on July 28 is a free talent development programme led by local film critic and programmer Tara Judah, filmmaker and video essayist Charlie Lyne, critic Michael Pattison (MUBI Notebook), author and activist Sophie Mayer (Political Animals: The New Feminist Cinema), editor Dorothy Allen-Pickard (Another Gaze), activist and arts and culture writer Zahra Dalilah (Gal-dem), and others.

The programme will focus on classic, rep and archive film and includes a special screening of  Peter Tscherkassky’s Outer Space (pictured) presented by The Final Girls. Participants will also receive a full weekend festival pass to attend film events at Cinema Rediscovered (Thu 27 – Sun 30 July) as well as annual membership to MUBI’s online viewing platform.

Wearing another of her many hats, Tara is also running the fourth in her popular series of film courses in the Twentieth Century Flicks Kino. Spanning four Monday evenings each fortnight from June 5, and titled From Page to Screen, this one explores how film deals with everything from great literary landcapes to unreliable narrators and graphic novels. Given that the Kino is so tiddly, spaces are naturally limited. For more info, contact Tara at tarajudah@hotmail.com.
