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