Lizzie Thynne,
filmmaker, writer and Senior Lecturer in Media and Film at the
University of Sussex, discusses her theoretical and practice research
into film biography with FSFF's author. In REFRAME’s interview, as well as her earlier films Child of Mine (Channel Four Television, 1996) and Playing a Part: The Story of Claude Cahun
(2004), and her written research on biographical, subjective and
feminist filmmaking, Thynne talks about her recent experimental
documentary On the Border
(UK, 2013, 56 minutes), a daughter’s exploration of her Finnish
family’s history prompted by the letters, objects, and photographs left
in her mother’s apartment. You can find more information about the above video here. Lizzie Thynne's film On the Border is screening today, Wednesday, October 9, at 7pm in The Finnish Church, 33 Albion St, London SE16 7JG – free entry
courtesy of the Finnish Church in association with the Anglo-Finnish
Society. The screening will be followed by a discussion with
participants: Lizzie Thynne, Titus Hjelm (UCL, School of Slavonic
Studies) and others.
This entry is produced to coincide with the publication this week of the above embedded video on film biography, part of FSFF's sister project REFRAME Conversations, a new series of in-depth, open access explorations of media, film, music and cultural studies research, published and shareable on and offline in video/audio formats.
Because of this schedule, preparation of the below list precedes the publication of a great looking new edited collection on The Biopic in Contemporary Film Culture by Tom Brown (a friend of this blog - see the entry on direct address here) and Belén Vidal. The two editors have completed a podcast on their project shortly to be uploaded to this website. That great link will be added here later.
