It begins as a spatter of heavy rainfall — nothing out of the ordinary for acclimatized Brits, for whom an actual storm can even be cozily welcome after days of noncommittal drear and drizzle. But then it doesn’t stop, deep-set wet turns to invasive flooding, and what seemed a mere bout of inclement weather has swept you — and countless others like you — out of house and home. Megan Hunter’s speculative novel “The End We Start From” was a neat metaphor for the larger threat in seemingly minor signifiers of climate crisis; briskly adapted by screenwriter Alice Birch, Mahalia Belo’s fine film version matches its pragmatic, coolly urgent vision of a world coming apart slowly, gradually, and then all at once.
Tight in budget and focus, this isn’t disaster cinema of the lurid Hollywood school, revelling in the grand spectacle of destruction. For much of the film’s running time,...

In 2020, as a pandemic raged around the world, audiences found comfort in the fractious love life of Marianne and Connell. The adaptation of Sally Rooney’s novel, “Normal People,” captured audiences in the U.S., where the series debuted on Hulu, at a time where a story of two people weaving in and out of each other’s lives felt romantic and engaging.
Now, director Lenny Abrahamson, who beautifully rendered Rooney’s “Normal People” for the screen, has returned with another Rooney book. And no doubt it will play equally with an audience’s emotions. “Conversations with Friends” is the story of Frances (Alison Oliver) and her free-spirited friend, Bobbi (Sasha Lane). But their friendship is tested when they meet married couple Melissa and Nick.

Coel won the 2020 Rts special award for her groundbreaking BBC/HBO show “I May Destroy You.” In presenting the award to Coel, the judges said: “This piece sits in the true spirit of the craft and design Awards. The astonishing level of detail in all aspects of this production was humbling to see. A truly distinctive, highly creative and exemplary piece of work, in which the winner had also corralled outstanding demonstrations of expert craft skills across all the production disciplines.”
Lenny Abrahamson won best director of drama for smash hit BBC/Hulu show “Normal People.” “Beautiful, stylish and confident. This was the work of an elite director, skilfully providing the space for his actors to shine and their chemistry to transmit through the lens.

In filming the surprise hit young love story “Normal People” for the BBC and Hulu, cinematographer Suzie Lavelle departed from the big-scale war dramas and multi-camera TV work she had done previously to create a more intimate, essential Irish-set story, she tells Variety.
Working with directors Hettie Macdonald (“Howards End”) and Lenny Abrahamson (“Room”), while adapting scenes from the source book by Sally Rooney, Lavelle discovered after seeing the subtle power of actors Daisy Edgar-Jones and Paul Mescal that she needed to be light and quick on her feet, she says. Filming shortform episodes seemed a challenging fit for such an intense drama, says the Dp, but she came to realize that this approach actually offered real advantages.
“Normal People” screens in the EnergaCamerimage Film Festival’s First Look – TV Pilots competition in Torun, Poland this week.

All-female collective Illuminatrix’s members include Natasha Braier [pictured], who shot The Neon Demon.
The UK’s first all-female collective of cinematographers, Illuminatrix, has launched a database to highlight leading female cinematographers in the UK.
The Illuminatrix database will showcase available talent and provide contacts for industry figures looking to hire a DoP.
The group is calling for gender equality amongst cinematographers working in the UK film industry. Despite making up half of all film students in the UK, data from Directors UK shows that the field of cinematography suffers a significant lack of female representation, more so than almost any other production discipline, with less than 7% of British feature films being shot by a woman.
Illuminatrix also plans to raise awareness of the gender imbalance in the film industry through its social media platforms, events and workshops.
Coinciding with the launch of its database, the female collective will curate a day of events on diversity in cooperation...

Discussing the representation of women in Hollywood is never, you know, a fun topic, especially when it comes to below-the-line departments. In 2016, there are still glaring examples of a lack of progress for women.
While an improvement over years past, here’s just a quick sampling of accomplishments women were not recognized for: narration, music composition, writing in many categories, stunt coordination… There are plenty of categories, as well, where only one or two women were nominated, often with a male partner — such as Writing for a Comedy, where the sole female nominee is Sharon Horgan alongside Rob Delaney for “Catastrophe.”
But rather than dwell on that, let’s acknowledge some of the accomplished nominees who have a chance to be recognized for their achievements this year. Because regardless of gender, they’re awesome.

Four of the top cinematography contenders— “The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story,” “Sherlock: The Abominable Bride,” “The Man in the High Castle” and the “Downton Abbey” finale — play with period in ways that are eye-catching and often unusual.
Cinematographer Nelson Craig (“Homeland”), nominated in the limited series/movie category for the “O.J.” opener (“From the Ashes of Tragedy”) , wanted a naturalistic look that made it contemporary and brought us closer to the players from “The Trial of the Century.” That is why he’s the favorite to win the Emmy.
What Craig had in mind was Michael Mann’s “The Insider”: not stylistically showy because the drama and performances were sufficiently heightened already. In fact, director Ryan Murphy initially wanted to shoot on film for the grain and the period look, but Craig found it too cumbersome shooting four or five cameras (for navigating...

Filming on the 2015 Sherlock Special kicked off in Bristol on Monday the 5th of January. The Victorian vaulted cellars of music venue Colstan Hall are reported to be providing one backdrop for the episode.

Doctor Who, Season 8, Episode 4, “Listen”
Written by Steven Moffat
Directed by Douglas Mackinnon
Airs Saturdays at 9pm Et on BBC America
This week, on Doctor Who: Clara goes on a date, the Doctor is afraid, and Rupert hates his name
Steven Moffat loves childhood fears. He’s mined them for some of nuWho’s most effective villains: Something lurking in the dark (the Vashta Nerada), a threat waiting to pounce the moment you look away (the Weeping Angels), and now, the monster under your bed. These creatures tap into the intense, pervasive fears so many experience as children and like its predecessors, “Listen” is hugely successful drawing from this well. It also takes a common and, when explored, curious habit and exploits it for significant dramatic potential: why do people talk to themselves when no one’s around? Both ideas have been explored by Moffat to some extent already...

We’re two months into a barely post-apocalyptic Ireland. The cause is an unexplained lack of electricity, the setting is very rural, and the plot is concerned with the quick, yet inevitable decline of the unprepared into the unimaginable. The times they are a-changin’.
Unlike the usual post-apocalyptic fare in which the hero sets off on some real or imagined quest against a backdrop of horror, in One Hundred Mornings our ineffectual characters basically sit around and wait for the shockwaves of the electrical meltdown to come to them. And come they do. And, sort of surprisingly, in pretty well the expected ways.

At a recent screening of Richard Jobson's recession-tinged Scottish chase thriller New Town Killers, the director had to point out that since people all over the world losing their livelihoods was a bad thing, there was nothing "lucky" about the seemingly providential timing of the film's release. One suspects that if Irishman Conor Horgan's new feature gets a wide release he may have to make a similar statement as, with the recession in full swing and now accompanied by a global flu pandemic, he delivers us an uncomfortably realistic vision of the breakdown of society.
The worst seems to have already happened when the film opens. We don't know when (though it has obviously happened recently) or how but there is no doubt that this is not a pleasant future.
