:00:49. > :00:55.collections. Also: Mark Kermode speaks to artist Steve McQueen

:00:55. > :00:59.about his second feature film. John Mullan meets the his son of

:00:59. > :01:04.Alexander Solzhenitsyn to talk about his father's extraordinary

:01:04. > :01:08.literary work. And Aleks Krotoski speaks to

:01:08. > :01:16.Wikipedia foundered Jimmy Wales about the freedom of ideas and his

:01:16. > :01:23.vision for the future. Now we have seen the Arab Spring, I think we

:01:23. > :01:26.The eclectic buildings competing for the heritage at risk award.

:01:26. > :01:31.Michael Smith travelled to Birmingham in search of its

:01:31. > :01:35.cultural soul. And I will be venturing slightly

:01:35. > :01:45.further afield for a photographic exhibition of Captain Scott and his

:01:45. > :01:51.

:01:51. > :01:56.First, a trip into the musical mind of poly math David Lynch. Not

:01:56. > :02:01.content with being a painter, guru of transcendental meditation, Lynch

:02:01. > :02:05.is back this time as a musician. Miranda Sawyer went to Paris to

:02:05. > :02:12.meet him and to find out if there's anything the bequiffed one can't

:02:12. > :02:16.turn his hand to. No filmmaker embraces the magical

:02:16. > :02:22.qualities of music quite like David Lynch. From the queasy shimmering

:02:22. > :02:27.title track of Twin Peaks, to the nightmarish lounge music of his

:02:27. > :02:37.recent film Inland Empire. His sounds are just as memorable as the

:02:37. > :02:40.

:02:40. > :02:46.And now you can give your own life a lynchian sound track for the man

:02:46. > :02:51.himself has released his first ever solo MP. It may have been five

:02:51. > :02:55.years since he last released a film, but he's found a multitude of

:02:55. > :02:59.creative territories to colonise. All of which begs a question, is it

:02:59. > :03:09.possible to hop from genre to genre and still be brilliant at

:03:09. > :03:14.everything?! We are here to talk about your

:03:14. > :03:18.music. We are actually in a very beautiful printing studios. Why are

:03:18. > :03:22.we here? We are here because I'm making prints in this beautiful

:03:22. > :03:26.space. Presses here in this room have been used by Picasso. There's

:03:26. > :03:32.so much of the past that you can feel when you come in. If you think

:03:32. > :03:39.about all the different things you do - you do painting, make films,

:03:39. > :03:42.animation, you print, make music - how does music fit in with that? Is

:03:42. > :03:47.it the most important element or is it an element? It's an element

:03:47. > :03:54.which is a beautiful element and each medium is infinitely deep. So

:03:54. > :03:57.once you start, then you can just keep going. It doesn't end. It just

:03:57. > :04:04.keeps going. It's just one thrill after another.

:04:04. > :04:08.Can I talk to you about some of the tracks on the album? Yes, you may.

:04:08. > :04:14.The obvious one to start with is GoodDay Today. It's not about

:04:14. > :04:24.something having a great day is it? No, it's a desire for a good day.

:04:24. > :04:34.

:04:34. > :04:37.# I want to have a good day today # Good day today... #

:04:37. > :04:40.The atmosphere is slightly dark and creepy in certain elements. There

:04:40. > :04:46.is a song which mentions maybe a bit of stalking. Is that the mood

:04:46. > :04:51.that you have when you make it or, does it just come out like that

:04:51. > :04:59.one where you talk about stalking is like the feel of that thing came

:04:59. > :05:06.about because that particular night, the guitar just had a different

:05:06. > :05:10.sound. It was incredible. I barely touched this thing and it just

:05:10. > :05:16.started singing. And I really like some of these little notes and the

:05:16. > :05:21.way it is in there. Then it's called Speed Roadster. The guitar

:05:21. > :05:31.started sounding like a roadster and gave birth to the lyrics.

:05:31. > :05:34.

:05:34. > :05:39.call your phone # You weren't talking

:05:39. > :05:43.# I kissed your face # Sort of soft... # Even if lyrics

:05:43. > :05:46.come, it's kind of an intuitive thing. It's not even... They just

:05:46. > :05:51.start coming, you know, it's like where do they come from, you don't

:05:51. > :05:53.know, they just come in, like a visitor and you want to make give

:05:54. > :05:59.the lyrics some coffee, I don't know. It makious very happy when

:05:59. > :06:03.they come visit. You grew up around the birth of pop music. The birth

:06:04. > :06:11.of rock'n'roll, they didn't call it pop. There were pops kls, but there

:06:11. > :06:19.was no pop music -- popsicle. All of a sudden, everything changed. I

:06:19. > :06:29.just remember being like thrilled beyond the beyond that this music

:06:29. > :06:42.

:06:42. > :06:47.is talking to you in a great, great, # I went down to the football game

:06:47. > :06:53.# I went down to the football game... #

:06:53. > :06:56.Also, you said in the past that pop music, I'm using the word pop music,

:06:56. > :07:00.I mean good music as well as bad. Sure. It's something that inspired

:07:00. > :07:05.you, would you ever hear a piece of music and think, I need a film to

:07:05. > :07:12.go with that, do you start with the music to go with the film? Yes,

:07:12. > :07:17.Blue Velvet was that, Bobby Vincent's song came out in 61 or 62.

:07:17. > :07:24.When I heard it then it wasn't rocking my boat. But, later I heard

:07:25. > :07:33.it and, for some reason, hearing it - I've said it a bunch of times - I

:07:33. > :07:40.see red lips, night, green lawns going into dark and a car. It just

:07:40. > :07:50.started making a dream that led to all these ideas coming for Blue

:07:50. > :07:52.

:07:52. > :08:02.Velvet. # She work blue velvet # Bluer than velvet was the night

:08:02. > :08:04.

:08:04. > :08:08.# Softer than satin was the light... There's a lot, often in your films

:08:09. > :08:12.of kind of performance. There's a point where there is a performance,

:08:12. > :08:16.where you see quite often theatre curtains opening and something

:08:16. > :08:20.happening. I was wondering how you yourself were thinking of

:08:20. > :08:26.performing your album? I won't be performing my album.

:08:26. > :08:33.boo! Yeah. But I would love... I've only done one thing on stage, but

:08:33. > :08:37.for some reason, I love the stage, I love curtains, I love the idea of

:08:37. > :08:41.curtains opening, because it seems like we get to go into another

:08:41. > :08:46.world. Curtains hide something. Then when they open, if it's dark,

:08:47. > :08:51.and we are moving in, it's just like about kills me it's so

:08:51. > :08:57.beautiful. Do you ever lose your confidence? Erm, it's not a

:08:57. > :09:03.question of confidence. It's ideas. So you say like sometimes writers

:09:03. > :09:07.they say have writer block. The ideas are not coming. That, for me,

:09:07. > :09:14.is the main reason, well not the main reason, but a very huge reason

:09:14. > :09:17.why I meditate. The ideas flow more freely. It's this negativity that

:09:17. > :09:24.kills the flow. It's just the squeezing of the tube. The little

:09:24. > :09:27.ideas can't get through. They want to help you. Poor ideas! Yes. But

:09:27. > :09:32.then whoa, they just flow through like these beautiful little fish

:09:32. > :09:42.and they come in and you catch them. So confidence is nothing to do with

:09:42. > :09:42.

:09:42. > :09:46.it? No. No. And David Lynch's new album Crazy Clown Time is released

:09:46. > :09:49.on November 8th. To a literary great now, this week sees the

:09:49. > :09:53.launch of a book by a man whose life story was every bit as

:09:53. > :10:03.remarkable as any novel. We sent Professor of English, John Mullan

:10:03. > :10:03.

:10:03. > :10:07.to investigate the latest work by this Russian master.

:10:07. > :10:12.He was known as the conscience of Russia, but Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

:10:12. > :10:19.was also one of the greatest writers of modern times. And he

:10:19. > :10:24.hainged history by exposing the horrors of the sta inist regime --

:10:24. > :10:28.changed history by exposing the horrors of the Stalinist regime.

:10:28. > :10:33.Solzhenitsyn's books couldn't be printed in the Soviet Union, but

:10:33. > :10:43.were read eagerly outside his land. He made his name with his 1962

:10:43. > :10:55.

:10:55. > :11:00.novel, one die in the life of Ivan Solzhenitsyn's writing brought him

:11:00. > :11:04.worldwide critical acclaim, and in 1970, he was awarded the Nobel

:11:04. > :11:10.Prize for Literature. But the political climate had changed and

:11:10. > :11:16.he had already been silenced in his own land.

:11:16. > :11:20.In 1973, the KGB seized his manuscript of the Gulag archipelago,

:11:20. > :11:24.his painstaking searing history of the Soviet system of political

:11:24. > :11:28.imprisonment. He was denounced as a traitor in his own country. A year

:11:28. > :11:35.later, he was stripped of his citizenship and De ported to the

:11:35. > :11:39.west. He spent 20 years in exile, living as a virtual recluse.

:11:39. > :11:46.After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Solzhenitsyn made an epic

:11:46. > :11:55.journey back to Russia to a here row's welcome. - hero's welcome. It

:11:55. > :11:59.was here he stayed until his death. It's now been three years since

:11:59. > :12:04.Solzhenitsyn died and a collection of his short stories, Apricot Jam,

:12:04. > :12:09.already known in Russia, has finally been published for an

:12:09. > :12:13.English-speaking audience. Supper for the reserve regiment was

:12:13. > :12:18.served at six in the evening, even though lights out did not come

:12:18. > :12:28.until ten. Someone had correctly figured that the men would get by

:12:28. > :12:28.

:12:28. > :12:31.without any more food that way and would sleep through until morning.

:12:31. > :12:37.Stephan, you're Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's son but the

:12:37. > :12:41.translator also of one of the stories in this new collection. Was

:12:41. > :12:45.that an emotional commitment, as well as a demanding literary job?

:12:46. > :12:50.It is both. It is of course both. The care you need to put into it,

:12:50. > :12:53.the emotional investment is of course much greater. I had a very

:12:53. > :12:58.big advantage. If I didn't understand something or if I wanted

:12:58. > :13:01.to ask about a nuance, I could just go ask dad. I could say what

:13:01. > :13:05.exactly does this mean or is it more like this or is it more like

:13:05. > :13:09.that, you know, we could discuss it. Usually translators never get that

:13:09. > :13:12.level of access, so I was very luck write there. Must have been

:13:12. > :13:16.particularly demanding with your father's fiction as well, because

:13:16. > :13:21.language mattered very much to him and the pressures that language was

:13:22. > :13:26.put under, especially under the Soviet system? He was a master of

:13:26. > :13:31.language and a lover of language. A lover of the Russian language,

:13:31. > :13:39.absolutely. Translation is tough, translation of Solzhenitsyn is even

:13:39. > :13:44.tougher because it's like digesting extremely nutritious very, very

:13:44. > :13:54.robust porridge, right, there's a lot to work through. It's very good

:13:54. > :13:56.

:13:56. > :13:59.stuff. Now this, he said, dripping some of the thick apricot jam on to

:13:59. > :14:05.a spoon, this very amber transparency, this surprising

:14:05. > :14:10.colour and light should be present in the literary language as well.

:14:10. > :14:20.And indeed, every singsle apricot lay like a condensed fragment of

:14:20. > :14:20.

:14:20. > :14:25.sun light in a crystal ball. What's distinctive about these stories,

:14:25. > :14:30.this new collection? They form a body of work that you could not

:14:30. > :14:40.have written without his return to Russia. He didn't sense it possible

:14:40. > :14:42.

:14:42. > :14:47.to actually write them living in the West. He needed to be fed off

:14:47. > :14:52.the Russians. Things seemed to be rooted in his memory of experiences.

:14:53. > :14:57.For instance, two wartime stories, actually? Absolutely. Detail was so

:14:57. > :15:04.important for him and the detailed diaries of the war he kept were

:15:04. > :15:08.burned immediately upon his arrest in 1945. He said that basically

:15:09. > :15:13.it's like his memory of the war was killed with him. The details were

:15:13. > :15:18.not crisp enough in his memory until he actually met some of his

:15:18. > :15:23.mates from his unit who helped fill in some of the key details that

:15:23. > :15:29.inspired him to return to the military theme. So in this little

:15:29. > :15:38.volume, about half of what he ever wrote about World War II, is all

:15:38. > :15:42.In the dim light, the lieutenant scans the faces of his fighting men.

:15:42. > :15:49.Their expressions were gloomy, complex, biting their lips, eyes

:15:49. > :15:54.down, to the side, but outright repentance? No. He did not see that

:15:54. > :15:59.on any of their faces. What is this coming to? If we go stealing

:15:59. > :16:04.government property, how are we going to win the wall? Dark and

:16:04. > :16:12.impenetrable they stood, yet this is with whom we march, to victory

:16:12. > :16:16.or defeat. What would you say now to those readers who might say that

:16:16. > :16:21.the terrible history that made your father has gone and that his

:16:21. > :16:28.writing belongs with the history that has gone? I would say they

:16:28. > :16:34.have got it a bit wrong. He was a writer and therefore he will always

:16:34. > :16:40.come to be understood as a writer. That means that generations will

:16:40. > :16:45.continue to read him and what exactly happened in one year or

:16:45. > :16:54.another year won't matter so much. The power off his literature,

:16:54. > :16:58.however, will matter. In this new collection, Solzhenitsyn's fierce

:16:58. > :17:03.and prophetic voice comes to us from beyond the grave, telling us

:17:03. > :17:08.again about the dark history of his times. This history may now not

:17:08. > :17:15.matter so much to us in the West. These stories tell us that it

:17:15. > :17:23.should. And Apricot Jam and Other Stories

:17:23. > :17:27.is published by Canongate on November 3rd. While we're on books,

:17:27. > :17:34.World Book Night announced the list of 25 books to be handed out in

:17:34. > :17:38.April next year. You can check that out on their website. But now from

:17:38. > :17:43.the storytellers of the past to a vision of the future, as Wookey

:17:44. > :17:48.feed -- Wikipedia found a Jimmy Wales tells Aleks Krotoski waif he

:17:48. > :17:52.thinks the internet will continue to change our lights.

:17:52. > :18:01.One man's vision of how we access and edit information online has

:18:01. > :18:05.become a global phenomenon. He grew up in Huntsville, Alabama, deep in

:18:05. > :18:09.the American South, and for years he wrote computer code in his spare

:18:09. > :18:13.time before quitting his job in finance to become a full-time

:18:13. > :18:23.internet entrepreneur. His name is Jimmy Wales. His creation:

:18:23. > :18:26.

:18:27. > :18:31.Wikipedia. Wikipedia has 20 million articles available in 222 languages,

:18:31. > :18:35.with 422 million people visiting the website each month, so it seems

:18:35. > :18:42.fitting that Jimmy Wales will be the keynote speaker at this year's

:18:42. > :18:46.Free-Thinking Festival, which celebrates ideas. The topics for

:18:46. > :18:52.2011 is changed. The festival is taking place at the Sage Gateshead,

:18:52. > :18:58.a suitably futuristic looking crucible for new and innovative

:18:58. > :19:01.ideas. We have seen so much change that has been attributed to the Web

:19:01. > :19:08.recently. What do you think the next change is that would involve?

:19:08. > :19:11.I think there are some exciting things coming. Two billion people

:19:11. > :19:15.online and in the next five to ten years, maybe another two billion

:19:15. > :19:21.people will come online and they are not coming from Europe, Japan,

:19:21. > :19:26.the US, they are coming from China and India, even Africa. That is

:19:26. > :19:30.driving a huge upsurge in the number of people connected,

:19:30. > :19:36.particularly in the cities. Because people sure what is interesting,

:19:36. > :19:40.all kinds of cool cultural influences will be flowing back and

:19:40. > :19:45.forth. I think it will be really big. What do you imagine will

:19:45. > :19:50.change when it is not just the people in the urban areas, when

:19:50. > :19:55.they truly engage with the Web? think a lot of things will happen,

:19:55. > :20:00.particularly the country's currently that have really dreadful

:20:00. > :20:03.governments, whether people have had not much hope of positive

:20:03. > :20:08.change and they will begin to see what has gone on in other places

:20:08. > :20:13.around the world and to realise that actually, we don't have to put

:20:13. > :20:22.up with collector crackeds any more, we don't need to have a strong man

:20:22. > :20:25.system of government -- with clipped opera. What do you imagine

:20:25. > :20:29.will happen, not just when everybody else has access but after

:20:29. > :20:35.they have had access for a while and their influences come back on

:20:35. > :20:40.us? What will happen? It is really interesting. I think China is one

:20:40. > :20:44.of my favourite examples. When Liu Xiaobo won the Nobel Peace Prize

:20:44. > :20:47.from China and China it refused to let him travel to receive the award,

:20:47. > :20:52.they put an empty chair on the stage to symbolise that he had not

:20:52. > :20:58.been allowed to come to receive the award and all across China, any

:20:58. > :21:02.mention of his name automatically gets the page filtered, so people

:21:02. > :21:07.were changing their profile picture, maybe not to the real empty chair

:21:07. > :21:11.but to any empty chair just to show, this is ridiculous, I know about

:21:11. > :21:14.this, right? When you get a group of people like this who are

:21:14. > :21:20.beginning to feel their own strength in those subtle ways, it

:21:20. > :21:24.is only a matter of time before they go, you guys at the top are

:21:24. > :21:33.part of the problem and we are going to have massive protests, we

:21:33. > :21:38.are going to change China. Jimmy's belief in the power of technology

:21:38. > :21:42.to help create positive change can be traced back to his childhood.

:21:42. > :21:51.The area he is from was a rural backwater until NASA moved in in

:21:51. > :21:57.the early 1960s. # Sweet Home Alabama #.

:21:57. > :22:04.The place where you grew up, Huntsville Alabama, also known as

:22:04. > :22:12.Rocket City. That is cool. How much of that experience contributed to

:22:12. > :22:17.your creating technology? Absolutely a lot. Certainly, I have

:22:17. > :22:21.memories from being a child of windows rattling as they were

:22:21. > :22:26.testing the rockets and you knew what they were working on, going to

:22:26. > :22:30.the moon. Amazing. There was a sense of optimism. Technology

:22:30. > :22:36.changing the world for the better. That spirit I think is implicit on

:22:36. > :22:42.all of my work, it is who I am and where I came from. The idea of the

:22:42. > :22:46.internet as a force for positive change, it is the real "beauty is

:22:47. > :22:52.in the eye of the beholder" statement. There are limitations to

:22:52. > :22:57.that? I don't think so. For me it is almost completely overwhelmingly

:22:57. > :23:00.obvious that it is a tool for change. I was in Taiwan, and one of

:23:00. > :23:05.the local Wikipedia volunteers offered to drive me around and he

:23:05. > :23:09.said he was raised in a very nationalist household and that they

:23:09. > :23:12.really hated mainland Communist China and he had been raised to

:23:12. > :23:16.believe that the mainland Chinese were completely brainwashed and

:23:16. > :23:20.then he said he started working at Wikipedia and he said, I still

:23:20. > :23:25.think they are wrong at certain things but I can see that a kind of

:23:25. > :23:31.have a point. You see that sort of thing, helpful in reducing tensions,

:23:31. > :23:36.in reducing the ability of militias politicians working people into a

:23:36. > :23:39.frenzy to go and fight someone. Every war in the entire world

:23:39. > :23:44.becomes in a sense of civil war because we have all become closer

:23:44. > :23:48.to each other. I see this Utopian visions stretching ahead of us. I

:23:48. > :23:53.am thrilled people are like you in the world who think the internet

:23:53. > :23:58.will bring us all a global group hug but I do not see that happening.

:23:58. > :24:06.I am not a Utopian, I am a very optimistic person but I think that

:24:06. > :24:09.none of these things happen automatically. Nothing about

:24:13. > :24:19.there is a great opportunity for minimising war, having a lot less

:24:19. > :24:23.of it. I am an optimist! Thank you very much, Jimmy. Thank you for

:24:26. > :24:33.his keynote speech on change at The Sage Gateshead next Friday, which

:24:56. > :25:01.final category of the Heritage Angel Awards. This week Simon

:25:01. > :25:06.Thurley looks at the four eclectic buildings competing inherited at

:25:06. > :25:11.risk award category. Not many people today would

:25:11. > :25:14.consider a cemetery a fashionable place to go, but in its heyday

:25:14. > :25:20.Arnos Vale Cemetery in Bristol was the fashionable place to be seen.

:25:20. > :25:25.It was also the fashionable place to be buried. The huge fortify they

:25:25. > :25:31.get necropolis was opened in 1839, just two years after Queen Victoria

:25:31. > :25:38.came to the throne -- 45 acre. It is not surprising it was dubbed a

:25:38. > :25:42.necropolis. Over 300,000 people were buried here, from mayors,

:25:42. > :25:48.industrialists to railway workers, but that is what makes this place

:25:48. > :25:52.so special. It contains a complete cross-section of Victorian society.

:25:52. > :25:57.When, in the 1990s, the private owners announced that they intended

:25:57. > :26:02.to close Arnos Vale Cemetery and build 400 new houses on the site,

:26:02. > :26:06.locals rallied round and petitioned to the council. The plan was to

:26:06. > :26:12.remove the monumental masonry and to do mass exhumation.

:26:12. > :26:17.dreadful! It was dreadful. At that time my father had passed away and

:26:17. > :26:21.he was buried here and there was no way I was going to let that happen.

:26:21. > :26:27.And your husband Richard has sadly subsequently died. Yes, he's still

:26:28. > :26:33.here, yes. All that energy you have put into here and your husband's

:26:33. > :26:38.devotion to it, this place must mean a great deal to you. Yes, it

:26:38. > :26:48.always has. Sometimes it is hard to come here on my own. But there is

:26:48. > :26:50.

:26:50. > :26:56.no way I will not come because my Victorian memorials to the dead

:26:56. > :26:59.come in many shapes and sizes. Nestling in the picturesque village

:26:59. > :27:09.of the Staffordshire peaks is one man's memorial to his dearly

:27:09. > :27:09.

:27:09. > :27:13.beloved wife. The I'm a memorial cross was built in 1841 by a

:27:13. > :27:19.wealthy industrialist, J C Watts Russell, in memory of his wife who

:27:19. > :27:25.died suddenly aged just 48. Years of weathering saw the cross fall

:27:25. > :27:29.into serious disrepair and the job of restoring it fell to Ian Ward, a

:27:29. > :27:35.master mason on the regeneration project. Some of the figures were

:27:35. > :27:40.very badly eroded so they were re- card. There were six Angel figures

:27:40. > :27:45.and they are all slightly different, they have a melancholy quality,

:27:45. > :27:54.especially in their distress sway. Absolutely beautiful things. They

:27:54. > :28:00.are like guardian angels watching over the village. The third

:28:00. > :28:07.building competing for the award is the deconsecrated church of St

:28:07. > :28:13.Stephen's, Rosslyn Hill, in London's leafy Hampstead. It is

:28:13. > :28:19.architect -- the architect's masterpiece and is often referred

:28:19. > :28:25.to as his mighty jet. And no wonder. It was his most expensive

:28:25. > :28:35.Commission -- is mighty church. It cost �27,000, an astronomical sum

:28:35. > :28:38.

:28:38. > :28:46.in 1869. Toulan, he was a rogue, a group of Victorian architects who

:28:46. > :28:52.tore up the rule book, who mixed and matched their starts. We have

:28:52. > :28:57.both Fantine brickwork, French Gothic, English Gothic and

:28:57. > :29:01.Renaissance thrown in for good measure -- by Santino. I think it

:29:01. > :29:08.is like a Ragnar, you'll love it or you hate it, and we fell in love

:29:08. > :29:13.with it. It had been derelict for 20 years. The floor was a rotting

:29:13. > :29:21.in places. It looked like the black hole of Calcutta. There was 60 tons

:29:21. > :29:24.of garbage from squatters. Thanks to Michael Taylor and his wife, the

:29:24. > :29:28.head of a small prep school attached to the church, St

:29:28. > :29:32.Stephen's has been given a new lease of life. Most of the schemes

:29:32. > :29:36.that had been put forward over the 20 years of dereliction wanted to

:29:36. > :29:40.make large structural intrusion into the main body of the building.

:29:40. > :29:44.We came up with the idea of extending the existing undercroft

:29:44. > :29:47.so that another branch of the school could move into it and that

:29:47. > :29:51.has left the main body of the building as you see it in all its

:29:52. > :29:56.former glory. I know the local community, many of whom have given

:29:56. > :30:01.money, are very pleased with what we have done. I am told by people

:30:01. > :30:11.who pass by in the street, Mr Taylor, isn't it wonderful to see

:30:11. > :30:11.

:30:12. > :30:15.the children bringing life back to The final building on the short

:30:15. > :30:21.list is the Dome Cinema in the Sussex coastal town of Worthing

:30:21. > :30:27.which has hardly changed since it was built in 1911 as a plush

:30:27. > :30:31.picture palace. It was very glamorous. People would

:30:31. > :30:36.have entered through the double doors, having bought their tickets

:30:36. > :30:40.at this wonderful pay kiosk, swept up the Titanic staircase and down

:30:40. > :30:45.into the auditorium and it was so romantic. People loved that, you

:30:45. > :30:50.know, the fact that they were sitting in this wonderful dark

:30:50. > :30:53.auditorium with this marvellous magical atmosphere watching a film

:30:53. > :30:56.which was accompanied by an orchestra.

:30:56. > :31:01.We had queues all around the building for the Big Philments we

:31:01. > :31:06.managed to get. Every house was packed up. You just couldn't get in,

:31:06. > :31:09.because the films were in quite short supply in England just after

:31:09. > :31:15.the war. John Whittington was a teenager when he started working at

:31:15. > :31:20.the Worthing Dome in 1945 as a projectionist. If the film broke,

:31:20. > :31:24.the audience used to bring alarm clocks and let them off, and apart

:31:24. > :31:27.from the shouting and that, you could hear all the alarm clocks

:31:27. > :31:31.going off. That was quite fun, really.

:31:31. > :31:37.Not for us, because we were trying to fix the film, but it was good

:31:37. > :31:41.fun. Next week, we'll reveal who all the

:31:41. > :31:47.winners are at the Heritage Angel Award z ceremony in London. But

:31:47. > :31:51.next tonight, it's been 100 years since Captain Scott ice ill-fated

:31:51. > :31:53.expedition to the Antarctic. To mark that centenary, there's a new

:31:53. > :31:57.photographic exhibition at the Queen's Gallery charting his

:31:57. > :32:02.exploits and those of the slightly later polar explorer Ernest

:32:02. > :32:07.Shackleton. I met up with modern explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes to try

:32:07. > :32:17.to understand the unswerving pioneering spirit that drove those

:32:17. > :32:26.

:32:26. > :32:32.It can be easy to forget that there was once a world the ends of which

:32:32. > :32:38.were undiscovered, untouched by the cloud of technology and endeavour,

:32:38. > :32:42.tantalisingly unglimpsed by mankind. That was the world that men like

:32:42. > :32:46.Robert falcon-Scott and Ernest Shackleton set out to conquer. Now,

:32:46. > :32:50.it might almost seek lick stating the obvious to say that the poles

:32:50. > :32:55.of the earth can be traversed, of course we can do it. Those extremes

:32:55. > :33:05.can be withstood. We've got maps, GPS, we know it can be done. But,

:33:05. > :33:09.100 years ago, that was far less certain.

:33:09. > :33:11.It's thanks to photographers Herbert Ponting who accompanied

:33:11. > :33:16.Scott and Frank Hurley who travelled with Shackleton that

:33:16. > :33:21.proof of these explorations exist. They brought these images back from

:33:21. > :33:25.the edge of the world. Finding an uncanny grandeur and forms like

:33:25. > :33:29.abstract sculpture many the Antarctic's ice scape. But they're

:33:29. > :33:34.also about a human achievement, only surpassed when man walked on

:33:34. > :33:38.the moon. Sophie, I'm amazingly struck by

:33:38. > :33:44.Frank Hurley's photographs of the Shackleton expedition, in

:33:44. > :33:49.particular this amazing sequence of pictures where he charts step by

:33:49. > :33:53.step the crashing of their boat by the ice? They're extraordinary

:33:53. > :33:57.aren't they? It really shows how determined Hurley was to capture

:33:57. > :34:00.the story of the expedition once it had gone wrong and it unfolded. He

:34:00. > :34:04.wanted to be there on the ice the whole time, so once the ship

:34:04. > :34:08.started to become crushed, he spent about three days out on the ice. He

:34:08. > :34:12.just was determined not to miss a single moment of the sequence of

:34:12. > :34:18.events as the ship slowly disappeared beneath the ice. It's

:34:18. > :34:23.grizzly, almost like a still camera version of a movie. A disaster

:34:23. > :34:25.movie. Yes, and that's what I can't get over, I suppose, the fact that

:34:25. > :34:30.it's as if he might be photographing his own death because,

:34:30. > :34:34.with the loss of the boat, things don't look very good? We come with

:34:34. > :34:37.the knowledge of what eventually happened and the fact that they all

:34:37. > :34:42.survived. Of course, Hurley and the men at that time were watching

:34:42. > :34:44.their only way home slowly disappear under the ice. It was

:34:44. > :34:54.really quite extraordinary that he had the presence of mind to be

:34:54. > :34:55.

:34:55. > :34:59.there to record all of this. Am I right in thinking that, as the

:34:59. > :35:04.expedition got into deeper and deeper trouble, he had to make some

:35:04. > :35:08.very, very tough editorial decisions? He did. There was the

:35:08. > :35:11.moment when they'd taken everything off the ship and the ship had been

:35:11. > :35:15.crushed that they realised they were going to have to get into the

:35:16. > :35:20.lifeboats in order to find land. That meant they were limited in

:35:20. > :35:24.what they could take and the glass plates that Hurley was producing

:35:24. > :35:28.was incredibly heavy. From about 500 negatives he'd already made, he

:35:28. > :35:35.had to narrow it down to a selection of about 120. So, he sits

:35:35. > :35:42.there, with Shackleton, and say s yes, we'll keep that, no, we won't

:35:42. > :35:45.keep that one. The ones they decide not to keep, they smash because

:35:45. > :35:51.Hurley might have wanted to run back for them. Don't put temptation

:35:51. > :35:56.in the way? Chactly. -- exactly. It's apparent that when they are in

:35:56. > :36:02.the lifeboats and have to lose more weight in order to keep going. They

:36:02. > :36:06.make the decision to throw the food overboard in order to keep the

:36:06. > :36:09.films and the cameras, so it really shows how important they are.

:36:09. > :36:13.Looking at the photographs, it's daunting to consider the conditions

:36:13. > :36:16.Ponting and Hurley endured to take them. A man who survived the

:36:16. > :36:20.extremes is Sir Ranulph Fiennes. He talked me through the earlier

:36:20. > :36:22.doomed expedition of Captain Scott who hoped to be the first to reach

:36:22. > :36:30.the South Pole. Little did he know that another

:36:31. > :36:36.party from Norway were already on their way.

:36:36. > :36:41.When they set out from New Zealand, we met one of his stokers, Stoker

:36:41. > :36:45.Burton was his name. He was in his '80s, but he was on Scott's

:36:45. > :36:50.expedition and there he was live living in New Zealand. That is

:36:50. > :36:54.amazing. Yes, it's 70 years later, but it's within living memory.

:36:54. > :37:00.is it like travelling on a boat like that, on a sea like that,

:37:00. > :37:04.because it looks absolutely vatiginous? Ponting was stramed

:37:04. > :37:11.with his camera on the rigging which might have been sea-sick

:37:11. > :37:14.making. -- strapped with his camera. There were unpleasant days and I

:37:15. > :37:19.took a lot of pills and stuck on a lot of patches which Scott wouldn't

:37:20. > :37:23.have been able to do. That looks like a cold, harsh sea? You don't

:37:23. > :37:27.want to make mistakes with the cold. If you are on a hot desert

:37:27. > :37:31.expedition, you can learn by your mistakes. You don't learn by your

:37:31. > :37:34.mistakes. I've lost a load of fingers in that side in one three-

:37:34. > :37:40.minute mistake. You can see how much finger got lost. That was just

:37:40. > :37:44.three minutes because I travelled at a dangerous time and my sledge

:37:44. > :37:47.with all my safety gear fell in. It was minus 46, the ice was breaking

:37:47. > :37:51.up everywhere and the only way I could get the sledge back out of

:37:51. > :37:56.the sea was to put one hand in and then of course it got cold and

:37:56. > :38:01.within the three minutes, there was no life left in these fingers, so

:38:01. > :38:05.you have a nightmarish situation caused by an initial error.

:38:05. > :38:11.I find these pictures in particular quite haunting because they're

:38:11. > :38:16.taken, of course, by the explorers themselves. Yes. So we know that

:38:16. > :38:21.those plates, for those pictures, were actually recovered with their

:38:21. > :38:25.bodies. You can sense that they feel gutted that they found the

:38:25. > :38:29.tent, the flag, they realised that the Norwegians got there first. Do

:38:29. > :38:32.you think that was De moralising for them? It would have been for

:38:32. > :38:39.anybody. But it wouldn't have stopped their will to survive and

:38:39. > :38:43.to get back would have taken over their disappointment to not have

:38:43. > :38:48.gotten there first. Sadly it wasn't enough. Scott and the team were

:38:48. > :38:54.trapped by an apoll lick tick blizzard 11 miles from salvation

:38:55. > :38:59.where they eventually succumbed to the Antarctic cold. These were

:38:59. > :39:04.raised over their bodies, entombing them in the ice forever.

:39:04. > :39:10.Then it comes to the last room of all. I suppose that's the great

:39:10. > :39:14.relbic, I suppose, the flag he actually planted -- relic. It lay

:39:14. > :39:18.with the dead bodies for eight months. When they discovered the

:39:18. > :39:22.death tent, there was only about ten inches of it sticking above the

:39:22. > :39:25.snow drifts, so they'd arrived there a week later, the tent would

:39:25. > :39:29.have disappeared, the diaries, the flag, everything else and the

:39:29. > :39:34.bodies would never have been found, nobody would have known anything

:39:34. > :39:39.about what happened to the expedition. He was found with his

:39:39. > :39:44.two great friends lying dead on either side of him. They died quite

:39:44. > :39:48.a few days before he did, so he lingered on and somehow managed to

:39:48. > :39:58.write his diary until within four or five days of his death. It

:39:58. > :39:58.

:39:58. > :40:04.wouldn't have been a good way to go. And that exhibition, the Heart of

:40:04. > :40:09.the great Alone opened on 2 October and continues until 22nd April next

:40:09. > :40:12.year. In a similarly intrepid spirit, we sent Michael Smythe to

:40:12. > :40:19.explore the cultural landscape of Birmingham.

:40:19. > :40:23.Recently voted the most boring city in all of Europe!

:40:23. > :40:28.Birmingham's a blank in my mind, a blind spot in the heart of Middle

:40:28. > :40:32.England. It's been voted the most boring city in Europe by trip

:40:32. > :40:36.advisor's travel website, shunned by the Lonely Planet guide books

:40:36. > :40:41.and has even lost out to Londonderry for the coveted title

:40:41. > :40:44.of City of Culture. There's a restless and unsettled quality

:40:44. > :40:49.about Birmingham, like the place has never really worked out what it

:40:49. > :40:53.is. It's a bewildering place for a visitor, it's messy, formless

:40:53. > :40:59.confusion of different styles. You get the Industrial Revolution torn

:40:59. > :41:05.down to make way for '60s brutalist high-rise and motorways. Then that

:41:05. > :41:08.failed future gets torn down to make way for this bland and sterile

:41:08. > :41:15.millennium architecture. The soul's been squeezed out of the

:41:15. > :41:18.centre of Birmingham. Even artist Gillian Wareing's new project to

:41:18. > :41:22.find a family to be the face of the city is currently being exhibited

:41:23. > :41:27.in this corporate hotel. When it's done, the bronze sculpture of the

:41:27. > :41:35.family will be plonked outside yet another new building, the generic

:41:35. > :41:41.box of the library. Bored tourists would never find it,

:41:41. > :41:51.but escape the oppressive blandness and find art hidden away in the

:41:51. > :41:54.dilapidated buildings just east of the city centre. Abandoned Curzon

:41:54. > :41:58.Street Station has been taken over by some very strange machines.

:41:58. > :42:03.The artists have responded to the space with places inspired by

:42:03. > :42:11.trains, machines and the mechanical process. Tape cassette recorders

:42:11. > :42:14.wear and clunk, machines project cosmic light and old camera lenses

:42:14. > :42:22.frame. The exhibition chimes perfectly with the industrial

:42:22. > :42:27.messiness of the city. Messiness is in Birmingham's DNA, once known as

:42:27. > :42:33.the city of a thousand trades and teamed with small scape workshops.

:42:33. > :42:37.This area was the Crucible of Birmingham where the confusion of

:42:37. > :42:41.workshops clustered. The 20th century version of this are the

:42:41. > :42:47.small artist studios gathered teeth by Jowell with the remaining

:42:47. > :42:51.industry. There's loads of art pieces tucked

:42:51. > :42:56.away here. This is a piece of graffiti commissioned by a local

:42:56. > :42:59.gallery and it's activated when you touch these two points. The sounds

:42:59. > :43:05.all come from the motorcycle repair shop next door and it's interesting

:43:05. > :43:14.to think the sounds of the city that inspired heavy metal are also

:43:14. > :43:24.inspiring works like these. The East side projects run one of the

:43:24. > :43:29.

:43:29. > :43:34.bigst galleries here. It opened Brummy sausage art! So Birmingham's

:43:34. > :43:37.been voted the most boring city in Europe for a few years running. Why

:43:37. > :43:41.do you think it still has that reputation with all this going on?

:43:41. > :43:45.Well, I mean, I don't know, partly maybe if you ask a stupid question

:43:45. > :43:49.you get a stupid answer, but it's a pain in the cars that Birmingham is

:43:49. > :43:53.the stupid answer. I left Birmingham when I was a kid because

:43:53. > :43:57.I didn't think it was interesting, I thought it was boring but I moved

:43:57. > :44:01.back five years ago because I think it's something else now. What is

:44:01. > :44:04.distinctive about Birmingham's art scene? What I thought was weird

:44:04. > :44:08.about the city in a way is, it's such a massive city and never

:44:08. > :44:12.really had an art scene, so we try and learn from something like

:44:12. > :44:18.Glasgow, we've learned from scenes, scenes arise in Manchester or

:44:18. > :44:27.Newcastle. I think we can be really ambitious because it could grow in

:44:27. > :44:33.principle. The city could support a massive art scene.

:44:33. > :44:36.The creative enclave here seems in tune with the self--efacing and

:44:36. > :44:39.independent Brummy spirit. For a second city, there's always been

:44:39. > :44:43.something strangely humble about it, just quietly getting on with things

:44:43. > :44:48.and not feeling the need to shout about itself.

:44:48. > :44:53.To me, this area feels like a grass roots DIY ant dote to all that's

:44:53. > :45:00.gone wrong in the city centre. You've just got to know where to

:45:00. > :45:04.look. Hiya. Hi, you all right? Totally intriguing this project,

:45:04. > :45:10.Pigeon project. Is it a strong Brummy tradition? Yes, Birmingham

:45:10. > :45:15.and the Black Country. Within a three mile radius here, there's 45

:45:15. > :45:20.competitive pigeon flyers. Do you race them? Yes, in a local pigeon

:45:20. > :45:25.club. There's also a lot of local artists and galleries that sponsor

:45:29. > :45:33.curated an exhibition for which the pigeons carried art works from

:45:33. > :45:38.different low cases across the country in different artist studios

:45:38. > :45:42.carrying little message tunes and USB sticks with videos on and GPS

:45:42. > :45:47.systems and the pigeons clifred the art work. So the exhibition was in

:45:47. > :45:50.their pigeon lofts -- delivered the art work. Do you think Birmingham

:45:50. > :45:53.and the art scene is distinctive? Is it unusual? Yes, definitely

:45:53. > :45:57.exciting and edgy. You can do things in Birmingham that I don't

:45:57. > :46:01.think you would be able to do in other parts of the country. I could

:46:01. > :46:06.never imagine keeping pigeons under a viaduct in the centre of London.

:46:07. > :46:16.Can I see a pigeon? Yes, I'll get you one of the pile Errolers. It

:46:17. > :46:24.

:46:24. > :46:28.does backflips along the floor and We are five minutes from the city

:46:28. > :46:33.centre but we may as well be in a different kettle world. It is

:46:33. > :46:36.ridiculous to say that Birmingham is the most boring city in Europe.

:46:36. > :46:40.Birmingham is boring if you are boring, but if you don't want your

:46:40. > :46:47.culture spoon-fed, if you are adventurous and wedding to go off

:46:47. > :46:52.the beaten track, it is all here and waiting for you to discover it.

:46:52. > :46:56.Now we join Alex Renton, who went to Armenia with Oxfam up to report

:46:56. > :46:59.on the food crisis, where five years ago almost a quarter of the

:46:59. > :47:05.population were undernourished, with half of that figure living on

:47:05. > :47:08.less than $2 a day. The result is a series of photographs of empty

:47:08. > :47:18.kitchens to sit alongside the shocking statistics, illustrating

:47:18. > :47:19.

:47:19. > :47:24.I find kitchens moving and revealing. They can often tell you

:47:24. > :47:28.much more about the people who live in them than looking at their

:47:28. > :47:32.bookshelf or music collection can. I am a journalist, I write about

:47:33. > :47:36.development. I was keen to write about somewhere where people were

:47:36. > :47:42.newly poor and newly hungry but Armenia was particularly moving

:47:42. > :47:46.because these people, on the edge of Europe, are very easily

:47:46. > :47:51.identified with and they have gone middle class to abject poverty,

:47:51. > :47:54.African levels of poverty, in 20 years. The collapse of the Soviet

:47:54. > :47:58.Union meant subsidised wheat did not come through, climate change

:47:58. > :48:05.has made the traditional crops in these mountains harder to grow and

:48:05. > :48:08.a lot of the people are refugees who came from Azerbaijan with no

:48:08. > :48:14.skills on how to live up on the slow line and grow vegetables

:48:14. > :48:20.because they were the urban middle class. The most moving for me with

:48:20. > :48:30.these guys, the Josephians. Hasmik with her five children and her

:48:30. > :48:34.Plastic sheeting in the windows. We went into the mountains above the

:48:34. > :48:38.village and this is what Hasmik does every day to feed her children.

:48:38. > :48:42.She finds the roots and vegetables wild and this is the first green as

:48:42. > :48:49.they had seen in six months so this is exciting. In the evening she

:48:50. > :48:53.cooked us an omelette with the greens but it was one egg. The rest

:48:53. > :48:58.of the meal was some pasta, which in the traditional way they fry up

:48:58. > :49:03.till it is almost burned and then boil it, and for the children this

:49:03. > :49:08.is a treat, they gobbled it up like a roast chicken. In these countries

:49:08. > :49:13.where you have seen this very swift economic collapse, there are

:49:13. > :49:18.enormous cultural changes. People are thrown back into the lifestyles

:49:18. > :49:22.of 600, a 1,000 years ago. What interests me is that the basic

:49:22. > :49:27.principles of how you sit down with your family and get joy even if

:49:27. > :49:32.there is not enough food remains the same.

:49:32. > :49:36.While we were watching her cook, I was distracted and fascinated by

:49:36. > :49:41.the way she had arranged her cooking implements. All of them

:49:41. > :49:45.were old and battered and much loved, I think. She laid a piece of

:49:45. > :49:52.cloth against the wall so she could hang them up to drive and be ready

:49:52. > :49:57.to grab, as all of us do, and to protect the wallpaper. So after we

:49:57. > :50:03.had been in Hasmik's house, I made sure I made a few minutes in the

:50:03. > :50:09.other people's kitchens, looking at these natural still lives. And

:50:09. > :50:17.realised there was something there, an internal beauty about the way we

:50:17. > :50:22.organise our everyday objects. So I This is another lady in another

:50:22. > :50:28.village. She said she had brought these plates 20 years ago from her

:50:28. > :50:31.city when she became a refugee and preserved them. In the way they

:50:31. > :50:37.boarded their dishcloth, they arranged their pots and their much

:50:37. > :50:41.loved old saucepan, those told a story of the struggle and these

:50:41. > :50:49.terrible circumstances, the struggle to stay civilised and

:50:49. > :50:53.dignified and provide, as you must, Next we move from the kitchens of

:50:53. > :50:59.Armenia to the bedrooms and boardrooms of New York, the setting

:50:59. > :51:03.for Steve McQueen's new film, Shame. It has already picked up a Best

:51:03. > :51:08.Actor award at the Venice Film Festival Paul Michael Fassbender's

:51:08. > :51:12.performance as a sex addict and it has just had its UK premiere at the

:51:12. > :51:22.London Film Festival. Mark Kermode went to meet the director to talk

:51:22. > :51:49.

:51:49. > :51:53.about the challenges of using such Not content with beating Tracey

:51:53. > :51:57.Emin to the Turner Prize in 19 99th and serving as an official war

:51:57. > :52:02.artist in Iraq, Steve McQueen is making a mark in the world of

:52:02. > :52:08.feature films. His new film Shame centres on a sex addict in New York,

:52:08. > :52:13.with life is falling apart. This is the second time he has collaborated

:52:13. > :52:23.with Michael Fassbender. They first worked together on Hunger, about

:52:23. > :52:23.

:52:23. > :52:29.Bobby Sands. Shame adds almost as a companion to Hunger, as Steve

:52:29. > :52:33.McQueen unflinching leak explores all things corporeal. What is it

:52:33. > :52:37.about the subject of sex addiction that intrigues you? In the film, as

:52:37. > :52:47.his addiction becomes more and more rampant, he becomes more and more

:52:47. > :52:51.alienated, although he says that is What fascinated me was that this

:52:51. > :52:57.eviction, in some ways you need someone to facilitate it. Not all

:52:58. > :53:02.the time of course. I love the idea of that drama, there are two people,

:53:02. > :53:07.one wanted something from the other person, that control, but also it

:53:07. > :53:14.was all about struggle, and knowing you had a problem in the first

:53:14. > :53:17.place. When I first read about sex addiction I found it funny but then

:53:17. > :53:26.you realise this person, similar to an alcoholic, longs to get through

:53:26. > :53:31.a day without relieving himself, I don't know how many times a day,

:53:31. > :53:36.but that is sad. It ceases to become funny. I think to be in love

:53:36. > :53:42.with someone is pretty brave. That person can break your heart. For

:53:42. > :53:46.him, somewhere along the line in his life, he didn't want that to

:53:46. > :53:49.happen and he didn't want the possibility of being vulnerable.

:53:49. > :53:54.Many of the scenes involves a degree of physical nakedness and

:53:54. > :53:58.also emotional nakedness. Tell me how difficult that may be to work

:53:59. > :54:03.with a cast. One imagines that acting without your clothes on is

:54:03. > :54:08.not something which everybody is comfortable with. No, then they are

:54:09. > :54:14.not very good actors, are they? If Michael was walking around with a

:54:14. > :54:18.bazooka and an AK- 47, no one would say anything, but the bizarre is

:54:18. > :54:24.normal and abnormal is bizarre. He is an actor and we had to get to

:54:24. > :54:27.the emotional depth of the character. This is 1951, a lot of

:54:28. > :54:33.people didn't wear pyjamas, they got up and they were naked, that is

:54:33. > :54:37.what you do. End of story. There have been comparisons made between

:54:37. > :54:42.Michael Fassbender and Marlon Brando in terms of physical

:54:42. > :54:46.performance and people now view Michael fast bend as arguably one

:54:46. > :54:52.of the greatest screen actors of his generation -- Michael

:54:52. > :54:58.Fassbender. TUC a connection? I do. -- do you see a connection

:54:58. > :55:02.was made he is a man's man but there is a certain fragility which

:55:02. > :55:07.is beautiful. You can project yourself as the audience on him and

:55:07. > :55:17.see yourself. This gite nailed it today. You are

:55:17. > :55:19.

:55:19. > :55:26.the man. Your pitch was amazing -- this guy it nailed it today. He is

:55:26. > :55:29.just picking colours randomly! can bring you in. He doesn't push

:55:29. > :55:34.you away. He can bring you in because he is not afraid to show

:55:34. > :55:38.his vulnerability. He is exceptional. Tell me about

:55:38. > :55:43.Brandon's relationship with free. There is a key confrontation

:55:43. > :55:47.between them when she says, we are not bad people but we come from a

:55:47. > :55:50.bad place. One of the things I admire it is that you are never

:55:50. > :55:55.explicit about what that bad places although it seems to me the film

:55:55. > :56:01.had suggestions as to what it might be. Tell me what you can about what

:56:01. > :56:07.that line meant. I wanted to make their past familiar rather than

:56:07. > :56:13.mysterious. I also didn't want it to be and let out for Brandon...

:56:13. > :56:17.Like an explanation. Precisely, for what he does in the movie. It is

:56:17. > :56:23.their past. When we meet people in general, we know nothing about them

:56:23. > :56:29.other than what they present and sometimes there are tales of the

:56:29. > :56:32.past in the present when you are with them. In the film, the biggest

:56:32. > :56:36.tell was when Carey Mulligan is singing New York New York to

:56:36. > :56:42.Brandon and it is the only time when Brandon listens to secede and

:56:42. > :56:47.he has to listen to her, he can't move and he can't escape, it is a

:56:47. > :56:52.performance. He has to listen, he is forced do. In terms of where you

:56:53. > :56:58.go from here, two feature films, critically very well received, do

:56:58. > :57:02.you see future from making as the primary part of your future or do

:57:02. > :57:06.you see yourself as a visual artist who happens to work in film?

:57:06. > :57:12.don't want people to make me have to choose! I want to do what I want

:57:12. > :57:17.to do. Next time I might want to dance, I don't know! No, really, it

:57:17. > :57:24.is not even a joke. As an artist, as a person who wants to do stuff,

:57:24. > :57:34.you should do stuff, whatever it is. There is no barrier or divide. I
