:00:00. > :00:12.migrants attempted to reach the UK. Now it is a special edition of the
:00:13. > :00:24.Hello and welcome to Shetland and a Kermode. It is
:00:25. > :00:31.Hello and welcome to Shetland and a special edition of the programme at
:00:32. > :00:35.the film festival. We are at the harbour and the arts centre and Mark
:00:36. > :00:44.Kermode is here as always. We have Nicole Kidman and Colin
:00:45. > :00:51.Firth in the thriller Before I Go To Sleep we have the comedy sex tape,
:00:52. > :00:56.and we have the following up film to the documentary,.
:00:57. > :01:02.And we also have remarkable directors, including Joanna Hogg. We
:01:03. > :01:06.will be talking about the role of women in the industry and that is
:01:07. > :01:09.one of the themes that this year's festival.
:01:10. > :01:12.Yes, there is a four`year project about the role of women in the
:01:13. > :01:19.British film industry. They will also show that funds. Other guests
:01:20. > :01:28.included American Interior, and Brian Cox will be here tomorrow.
:01:29. > :01:32.Before I Go To Sleep. It is based on a famous novel.
:01:33. > :01:37.Nicole Kidman wakes up in the morning with a strange man who turns
:01:38. > :01:40.out to be Colin Firth, which is for her a total nightmare. It turns out
:01:41. > :01:45.that she cannot remember anything from one day to another following an
:01:46. > :01:50.accident that happened back in her 20s. Here is a clip.
:01:51. > :01:55.You had an accident. It was a bad accident, you had head injuries. You
:01:56. > :02:02.have problems remembering things. What things?
:02:03. > :02:06.Everything. You only store information for a day, when you wake
:02:07. > :02:19.up it is gone and you back to early 20s.
:02:20. > :02:29.OK? Trust me. I am scared. I know, it is all right. I love you.
:02:30. > :02:38.I love you. The book is traffic, but there are
:02:39. > :02:49.some critics who said it was forgettable? There are two problems.
:02:50. > :02:56.Cinema loves and easier. It is something which works
:02:57. > :03:03.cinematically. The problem is a lot of people will know the big twist in
:03:04. > :03:09.the novel. The interesting thing is it is essentially a flimsy story, a
:03:10. > :03:14.big shaggy dog story with a twist. It is made into something better by
:03:15. > :03:26.the performances. Nicole Kidman was so terrible in Grace of Monaco. That
:03:27. > :03:38.was terrible. In The Others she was very good at doing paranoid. Colin
:03:39. > :03:43.Firth does a good job. Mark Strong was good as they possibly sinister
:03:44. > :03:49.Doctor Nash. It is a good yarn well told. It is in the end rather
:03:50. > :03:58.flimsy. It does not have any great psychological depth but it is good.
:03:59. > :04:06.Now, Sex Tape you might think is a story now. It is a story where a
:04:07. > :04:17.couple decide to spice up their life by making a Sex Tape which they
:04:18. > :04:21.upload to the cloud. As a result of recent news stories, people have
:04:22. > :04:29.said, is it tasteless? It is not that, it is the question about is it
:04:30. > :04:36.funny? There is a joke about Breaking Bad which was so old hat
:04:37. > :04:41.that I found it funny! Let's move on to Dangerous Game. A
:04:42. > :04:46.lot of people particularly in Scotland are looking forward to that
:04:47. > :04:52.opening next weekend. It is directed by Anthony Baxter. He made a very
:04:53. > :04:55.good documentary about Donald Trump building a golf course in
:04:56. > :05:00.Aberdeenshire. This basically follows the story up a few years
:05:01. > :05:03.later. It goes back to looking at what happens around the golf course
:05:04. > :05:13.and expanding the story around the world. Here is a clip.
:05:14. > :05:35.It causes me a lot more work pushing my barrow...
:05:36. > :05:40.Give any person or situation where the water does not come out of a tap
:05:41. > :05:55.and their lives This was a huge cause celebre in
:05:56. > :06:00.Scotland because of Donald Trump, a symbol in some ways of international
:06:01. > :06:05.big business. And there were local people including that old lady who
:06:06. > :06:10.were being hard done by. The film used clips from Local Hero. He first
:06:11. > :06:15.saw Anthony Baxter's movie and he was really impressed. He said he
:06:16. > :06:21.could not have come up with a villain like Donald Trump. This film
:06:22. > :06:24.looks at places like Dubrovnik who are having golf courses built on
:06:25. > :06:28.world Heritage sites. The interesting thing is now Donald
:06:29. > :06:35.Trump has agreed to be interviewed by Anthony Baxter so we do get to
:06:36. > :06:39.hear him talking. The person who does not speak to him is Alex
:06:40. > :06:42.Salmond. There is an interesting and the current about who is really
:06:43. > :06:45.responsible. Is it the people who build the golf courses or the
:06:46. > :06:51.officials who allow them to be built will stop this is a very timely
:06:52. > :06:55.story. This has less of a precise focus than the original story did
:06:56. > :07:01.but it broadens it out and looks at the wider issues of people building
:07:02. > :07:04.on really endangered sites. And money being more important than the
:07:05. > :07:09.rights of people who live in those areas. Golf has a completely
:07:10. > :07:16.different resonance in Scotland because Scotland believes it in
:07:17. > :07:21.vented golf and it is a game that working`class people play. There is
:07:22. > :07:27.wonderful footage of people saying I played golf for my life for ?3
:07:28. > :07:34.around and comparing it to places where it is ?150 for membership.
:07:35. > :07:39.Let's move on now to directors. One of the things that is really
:07:40. > :07:42.remarkable when you come to any part of Scotland, particularly Shetland,
:07:43. > :07:50.there has been a cultural relates on is over the last two years, perhaps
:07:51. > :07:55.connected to the political firmament `` cultural renaissance. Why did you
:07:56. > :08:00.come here? I was invited by the festival. I only arrived yesterday
:08:01. > :08:05.so I feel I have not had a proper look around yet. I am very attracted
:08:06. > :08:10.to islands and groups of islands. I felt immediately at home here. I am
:08:11. > :08:13.part Scots so it is in my blood. I have arrived here and feel like
:08:14. > :08:19.staying for a few months and writing my next film because it is the
:08:20. > :08:25.perfect place to work on ideas. It does feel like a creative place.
:08:26. > :08:28.Mark was saying to me that in terms of per head of population, the
:08:29. > :08:31.viewing figures of films are possibly the highest in the
:08:32. > :08:38.country. There was not a sin are here a few years ago. What are your
:08:39. > :08:47.thoughts about the festival `` a cinema. It is fantastic. It is
:08:48. > :08:53.incredibly well attended. It is the most attended cinema are in the
:08:54. > :09:00.country. For the first few years of the film festival, we did not have a
:09:01. > :09:05.cinema. The population in relation to attendance figures, it is the
:09:06. > :09:10.most attended seminars in the UK. One of the themes we are exploring
:09:11. > :09:22.is research into women in the film industry. 9% are women and 91% are
:09:23. > :09:28.male. Why is that? I am aware that in the beginning of cinema, in the
:09:29. > :09:33.20s, there were many women making films. Then things got tightened up.
:09:34. > :09:40.I do not know how or why things changed. Now it is partly the
:09:41. > :09:43.production companies and the producers and the studios do not
:09:44. > :09:46.trust women with the job. They do not think we are tough enough, they
:09:47. > :09:52.do not think we will be able to cut the mustard. It is attitudes that
:09:53. > :09:58.have got so entrenched but also, speaking personally, it is also
:09:59. > :10:04.about confidence. It took me a long time to build up confidence to make
:10:05. > :10:23.my own films. We have to send out more positive messages. Sex
:10:24. > :10:33.personally, I do not see myself as a female director, I am just a
:10:34. > :10:39.director. Perhaps this survey will change things.
:10:40. > :10:45.When I saw The Selfish Giant which you directed or when I saw the Hurt
:10:46. > :10:52.Locker which was directed by a woman, I did not think it was
:10:53. > :10:57.women's films. There does seem to be a problem with women getting on in
:10:58. > :11:01.the industry. A long time ago when I was working in television, I did
:11:02. > :11:07.feel that they were trying to push me into being a producer rather than
:11:08. > :11:12.a director and I stood firm. I would be a rubbish producer! Know your
:11:13. > :11:18.limits and your talents. I was very determined that I wanted to direct.
:11:19. > :11:23.I think you have to stand firm. Two although is women out there who want
:11:24. > :11:28.to direct films, there are many of them, just stand firm and it will
:11:29. > :11:35.happen. They need role models. Katherine Bigelow is the guest
:11:36. > :11:40.because of winning an Oscar. But it is still very rare for woman to
:11:41. > :11:43.direct an action film. I do not see why women cannot do that but we have
:11:44. > :11:48.to break down some of the preconceived ideas. It will
:11:49. > :11:52.encourage women not just to make personal films but get involved in
:11:53. > :12:00.bigger films and blockbusters and prove they can work with big
:12:01. > :12:03.budgets. It is astonishing that the Academy took eight years to give the
:12:04. > :12:07.best director award to a woman and then people said it is because she
:12:08. > :12:12.direct like a man which is outrageous. The answer seems to be
:12:13. > :12:16.to do your job which is what you are both saying. And have perseverance
:12:17. > :12:24.because it will not necessarily happen quickly. Let's go one to your
:12:25. > :12:32.pick of the week. There is a BFI reissue of a film from 1961. I
:12:33. > :12:37.remember being genuinely upset by the opening in which there is an
:12:38. > :12:41.image of a child's balloon caught in telegraph wires which is one of the
:12:42. > :12:50.most chillingly understated images of prewar cinema. I am really is a
:12:51. > :12:55.prized by just how one thing it still manages to be. The silence of
:12:56. > :13:02.the lambs done 70 years before? No it is really precise, really
:13:03. > :13:09.clinical. It is genuinely chilling. A lot of people will not know about
:13:10. > :13:24.your DVD pick. Blue cat macro ruin is a revenge thriller. The rest of
:13:25. > :13:27.the film is what happens next. It has an ineffectual performance. I
:13:28. > :13:32.think it is one of the hidden treats of this year. It was made with
:13:33. > :13:37.personal funding and it can hold its own against any multi`million dollar
:13:38. > :13:42.blockbuster. That shows that what you need is a great director and a
:13:43. > :13:47.script and someone who knows what they are doing. With a small amount
:13:48. > :13:54.of money, you can do great work. Indeed. Thank you to Clio, Joanna
:13:55. > :14:01.and Mark. There is much more on our website. Do join us again next week.
:14:02. > :14:18.From Shetland, goodbye. The weather looked quite decent in
:14:19. > :14:29.Shetland. The weather for this weekend is not looking bad. There
:14:30. > :14:30.are a few showers around. Not completely dry. You can
