Transmissions Protest: Gender Inclusive Fashion

The profound noise of dissent emitted by the power of a multiple but unitary voice that shakes the streets and complacency of London on the occasion of its Fashion Week in 2019. This is the voice of Transmissions, a collective of Trans* activists in London, who organized a protest catwalk outside the historic site of the Somerset House cultural Centre. Their aim was to demand the visibility of queer and Trans* bodies and protest against the exclusionary policies of fashion companies.

Gotta Film Dance! The Evolution of the Movie Musical

The movie musical occupies an interesting position in the film industry. On one hand, like action movies, its dance scenes are all about bodies in motion: dynamism, choreography. Yet, with notable exceptions such as Busby Berkeley, those responsible for putting star hoofers on-screen tended to let them strut their considerable stuff uninterrupted. It’s not to say that the camera always remained static; but you could imagine the likes of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, or the gravity-defying Nicholas Brothers, taking it as a personal affront if they weren’t shown full screen, to fully appreciate their elegance, their athleticism.

Val Grande - Itinerario di circostanza

From the hell of the city, we pass into another dimension: that of the silence of nature. Among caves, waterfalls and woods, the path rises higher and higher, towards the memory and the mountains. The sun sets and night looms. But the dawn of a new day appears on the horizon and the world before us lights up. In the distance, you can hear the echoes of the city, and a boy, at the top of the mountain, listens to the wind, losing himself in the infinite.

The Mythory of the Kelly Gang

The Story of the Kelly Gang (1906) is in many historian's estimations the world's first feature length film. Today, only 17 minutes of the original footage is known to survive. Silent film historian Dr Peter Walsh and Australian film critic Tara Judah have teamed up to embark upon an early cinema/Australian cultural film odyssey to re-present the 43 minutes of absence. In so doing, they have created an hour-long video essay where myth and story meet and mingle. The final result will change what you think you know about Ned Kelly and his gang and how early cinema influenced everything from Australian national identity, the trajectory of narrative cinema, frame rates in film and even had an impact on today's range of hipster beards. Expect original footage, documentary excerpts, clips, quips, podcast witherings and personal reflections on one of the greatest and most unknowable stories of cinema history.

Royal Opera House: La Traviata

Soprano Ermonela Jaho stars as Violetta Valéry, with Charles Castronovo as her lover Alfredo and Plácido Domingo as Alfredo’s stern father Giorgio Germont, in The Royal Opera’s much-loved production of Verdi’s La traviata. One of the greatest of all operas, La traviata is based on the novel and play La Dame aux camélias by Alexandre Dumas fils, inspired in turn by the life and death of the real Parisian courtesan, Marie Duplessis. The opera tells the profoundly moving story of a courtesan prepared to sacrifice everything for love, and contains some of Verdi’s most beautiful arias and duets.
