the acclaim visited upon blow up made hemmings an international name and an exemplar of supposedly liberated alternative culture . but despite appearing in roger vadim ' s pop art fantasy barbarella ( 1968 ) , he resisted any too ready identification of this kind , notably by playing in two ambitious historical movies , as the ill - fated captain nolan in the charge of the light brigade ( 1968 ) and in the title role of the somewhat misconceived alfred the great ( 1969 ) . both films sought , it should be said , to tap into the counter - cultural attitudes of the time in which they were made , partly via the presence of hemmings himself .

sixties , not least in the figure embodied by hemmings , that of a fashionable photographer ( reportedly based on david bailey ) eventually brought face to face with the illusoriness not just of success but of reality itself . the conclusion , in which the photographer is gradually torn into participation in an imaginary game of tennis , must rank as one of the most mesmerising in all cinema .

island dreams is the story of chris , a young boy with big dream . on a fateful day , circumstances force chris to embark on a journey that will change his life forever . this adventure will push our young protagonist , along with his girlfriend megan , to understand the depths at which life is sometimes painful and how love is what saves us at the end .
in il postino ( 1994 ) it is the beautiful island of procida where the chilean poet pablo neruda is exiled ( he actually spent his time on the island of capri ) . both cinema paradiso ’s projectionist and neruda are , incidentally , played by a northern frenchman , the wonderfully wise - eyed philippe noiret .
the same dream holds for writers and artists , for adventurers and cynics , just as it does for villains and mad professors . yet the reality – at least in the movies – usually turns out rather differently . those dreams of an island paradise , of tropical laziness or cool scandi seclusion , soon become nightmares of alienation , while those plans of world domination always end in the mass murder of henchmen and the inevitable welter of explosions . and so the island becomes a vessel for the impending catastrophe or the revelation of something truly terrible .
the exhibition’s title refers to the science fiction writer h . p . lovecraft’s alternate fictional dimension , whose terrain of cities , forests , mountains , and an underworld can be visited only through dreams . similarly , the spaces in
a short film that illustrates the coming of age process of a young boy and his first love .

this is because these island houses are archetypes , they are ideas of houses more than they are physical manifestations . their reality is in their very fantasy and ultimately that is what the island house in the movie does – it presents an ideal which we all know is unreal but still , somehow , retains its seductive , exclusive allure .
according to robert rodriguez , the theme park at the beginning of the film was originally going to be disneyland , but six flags over texas in arlington was used instead after disney refused permission to film in their park .

there have been various attempts to make a film of island , for which she holds the rights , but none has yet succeeded .
it ' s very difficult to write a script for it because there is so much philosophy . there was someone very famous who wanted to do it but i had the impression that it would just be ' sex on the island ' . it is difficult to write a script for it . i feel it almost should be made as a documentary on something that has not yet happened . every single thing that is written in island has happened and it ' s possible and actual . . . island is really visionary common sense . things that aldous and many other people said , that were seen as so audacious - they are commonsense but they were visionary because they had not yet happened .
there is another kind of movie island . this one is always italian , a cocktail of paradise and exile and a place of poverty which makes the occasional luxury appear yet more gilded .

in martin scorsese’s shutter island ( 2009 ) the island’s secure mental institution in boston harbor is a prison of the worst type , in which patients are lobotomised , experimented on and abused . the inmates are stuck in the worst human nightmare and live in a paranoid dystopia . to express the truth is to be labelled insane , while to suffer psychosis and delusions is to become normal .
in escape from alcatraz ( 1979 ) , the action is all about smashing through the structure to escape , so the building becomes adversary . in the rock ( 1996 ) , the ludicrous plot involves breaking back in to alcatraz , now a heavily defended villains’ lair . far better a film is papillon ( 1973 ) , the brutal story of incarceration on the french penal colony of devil’s island . here , the grim , colonial architecture with its rusted corrugated iron roofs is a backdrop to protagonist steve mcqueen’s suffering , much of it in solitary confinement . this kind of island paradise , with its palm trees , blue seas and stunning scenery – the fantasy of an island existence – is subverted by its use as a prison .
4 . despite grossing more than $ 600 million worldwide , the film failed to turn a profit by the end of 1994 .
while the film gives a dramatic tone to the scene , it does resemble situations that are not uncommon in the sport industries .

the main character in island is a cynical journalist , will farnaby , consumed with self - loathing and guilt over the death of his wife . huxley had good reason to be wary of journalists . in 1961 , the house he and laura shared in la was burned down , but huxley was able to rescue the manuscript of island , on which he had been working for five years . he lost all his books , letters and diaries .
in her own memoir , this timeless moment , laura huxley describes how her husband took lsd as he died .
he had taken this moksha medicine in which he believed . once again he was doing what he had written in island , and i had the feeling that he was interested and relieved and quiet .
both she and huxley were upset that island was treated as a work of science fiction and not taken seriously at the time .
the same island of procida formed the backdrop to anthony minghella’s the talented mr ripley ( 1999 ) . ischia is also used , as it was in the first film of the novel , réné clément’s plein soleil ( 1959 ) . here the islands portray a kind of paradise , the carefree existence of the playboy provocatively set against the postwar poverty of the indigenous islanders .
the scene where gregorio has a hard time combing back juni ' s hair is very similar to a scene from the 1995 film four rooms .
for clubs involved in the cut - throat competition for economic survival that began when sport became a televised industry in the 1990s , pacific island players represent a source of relatively cheap and highly talented labour endowed with formidable physical constitutions .
donnagon is fired by the president and his daughter ; gary is temporarily disavowed , and gregorio is appointed director of the oss by alexandra on her father ' s behalf , while juni resigns due to the impersonal treatment he had received by agents of the oss , after being framed . as the cortez family leaves the island , romero gives juni a miniature spider - monkey as a gift , and all the island ' s inhabitants bid farewell to the cortez family .

many filmgoers are reluctant to see documentaries , for reasons i ' ve never understood ; the good ones are frequently more absorbing and entertaining than fiction .
hoop dreams ,
however , is not only a documentary . it is also poetry and prose , muckraking and expose , journalism and polemic . it is one of the great moviegoing experiences of my lifetime .
reviews have largely focused on psychological aspects of the story , but the film is also one of the first depictions of the complex world of migration in global sports .
the breakout critical discovery of the 2017 berlin international film festival , carla simón’s autobiographical jewel is one of the most evocative and affecting depictions of childhood seen in years .
unlike its independent and much larger neighbours , wallis forms a french overseas “collectivity” together with the smaller neighbouring island of futuna . its inhabitants are french citizens , heavily dependent for daily subsistence on economic aid from france , from which they have little desire to separate .

soane tokelau ( played by toki pilioko in his first role ) and his family hail from wallis , an island known to its 8 , 500 polynesian inhabitants as ‘uvea , which has close social , cultural , historical and linguistic affinities to neighbouring tonga , samoa and fiji .
we know all about the dream . we watch michael jordan and isiah thomas and the others on television , and we understand why any kid with talent would hope to be out on the same courts someday . but
hoop dreams
is not simply about basketball . it is about the texture and reality of daily existence in a big american city . and as the film follows agee and gates through high school and into their first year of college , we understand all of the human dimensions behind the easy media images of life in the
ghetto .
director werner herzog went through a nightmare production while making fitzcarraldo in the early ' 80s . the film follows brian sweeney fitzgerald , an irish would - be rubber industrialist who is determined to transport a steamer ship through a south american jungle to a vast rubber territory in peru during the early 20th century . herzog wanted to give the film absolute realism , so he made his film crew transport a real 30 - ton steamer ship through a dangerous jungle instead of using miniatures or special effects , resulting in a long and grueling production .
with over 32 songs on the official soundtrack and more used in the movie—including one song from the doors on the soundtrack and four others in the film—all of the bands featured in the film were american , and that was not a coincidence . “all the material in there is american , ” joel sill , the film’s executive music producer , told the los angeles daily news . “bob [ zemeckis ] felt strongly about it . he felt forrest wouldn’t buy anything but american . ” though formed in england and not in the u . s . , fleetwood mac contributed a song to the film and the 2001’s special collector’s edition soundtrack . fans liked the soundtrack so much it went on to sell 12 million copies worldwide .
sport migrations are fuelled by familiar economic , social and cultural factors : life - sustaining income strategies depend crucially on remittances from relatives working overseas ; social relations in pacific island societies already span great distances ; and adulthood , particularly for men , cannot be achieved completely unless one migrates .

french filmmaker sacha wolff’s first feature film , mercenaire ( released in english as mercenary ) , tells the story of a young pacific islander , soane tokelau , trying to make it in professional rugby .
here , what looks like an island fortress turns out to be an abandoned industrial complex . it has shades of chernobyl or alcatraz , but it also displays a new face of architectural fear and paranoia . for the 1960s villain it needed to be tropical modern ; for our age , it’s more tate modern .
laura huxley meanwhile was working on her own book , you are not the target , one of the first self - help books . it became a best - seller and in 1977 , using ideas from both her own book and island , she founded children , our ultimate investment , a foundation
for the nurturing of the possible human

richard stanley , the original director on the island of doctor moreau , was fired after three days of shooting . while it ' s unclear why new line cinema canned him , it ' s believed that it was due to on - set clashes with val kilmer . john frankenheimer was hired to take over directing duties after production shut down for a few weeks . despite the pause in shooting , the island of doctor moreau ' s script wasn ' t completed , and pages were still being submitted as filming wore on . during this time , actor rob morrow left the production and david thewlis was brought in to replace him .

in the minghella’s version , dickie greenleaf’s house is languorously gorgeous , the kind of villa we all dream of , a place of tumbling terraces and subtropical gardens , shaded rooms and al fresco meals . but , like almost all the vernacular houses we see in these italian island settings , its architecture is somehow anonymous , easily fading from memory .
when did you realize you wanted to go into filmmaking ? it started when i was 15 years old , when i enrolled myself in a film workshop conducted by direk ( director ) marilou diaz - abaya at the asia pacific film institute . that’s when my passion for watching movies turned into making them . it was a great experience because i was able to meet weird kids , just like me , that have the same interest in films .
the possibilities of life - both good and evil - were what huxley explored in much of his writing . in island , his utopia has
no established church and our religion stresses immediate experience and deplores belief in unverifiable dogmas and the emotions which inspire that belief . so we ' re preserved from the plagues of popery , on the one hand , and fundamentalist revivalism on the other .
he was also interested in the mind - expanding properties of drugs and how they might be used but also aware of the risks ; when will farnaby takes the

something that we know will be a an challenge is getting the word out that our hard work is happening . an essential part of this is creating a proper community that believes in the project and is willing to spread the word of the work we are doing . we have a number of people in place that are well connected in social media and will spread the word , but we will depend on our backers to spread the word about us too . we will make weekly updates with photos , behind the scenes videos and interviews to let everyone know we are creating a collaborative effort to make this happen . this film is more than just a story , its about people working together and making dreams come true .
we are putting together a team of editors to compose , create graphics , and color correct this film into the most beautiful project possible . we hope to work with a class editing and color correcting equipment to make that happen .
and lastly you will be helping us with the most important part ! getting the film out there ! ! we plan on introducing it in festivals all around the world , social media , television , and will organize promotion events that not only promote our film but also provide a medium for aspiring artists like ourselves to broadcast their work as well . we will also make an effort to broadcast it in tropical climates that will be able to relate to that of miami . more than anything else , we hope this endeavor brings hope and motivation to the budding film , music , and art scenes in miami . miami is a beautiful place , and we want to share it with everyone .
shortly before he died , huxley wrote to a correspondent saying ,
i have known that sense of affectionate solidarity with the people around me and the universe at large - also the sense of the world ' s fundamental all - rightness in spite of pain , death and bereavement .
so is it island or brave new world , as the writer and teacher ram dass ( formerly richard alpert ) asked in a symposium to celebrate huxley ' s centennial in 1994 . a free - spirited world or one of programmed control and manipulation ? when i went to my local bookshop to buy island , the assistant looked at it , smiled and said :
can ' t think of a better time to be reading huxley .

one of our most popular events returns : college hill gets especially eerie around this time each year , when the rhode island historical society celebrates the birthday of h . p . lovecraft . this would have been his 124th year , and his macabre stories are no less chilling for their age : see the spots that inspired lovecraft to write some of his most horrific tales . walk the streets he walked , and check out places that he mentioned in works such as
the call of cthulhu .
ticket includes admission to the closing program of the vortex film festival . the tour lasts 90 min .
the dream is always of escape to an island paradise . from a lush tropical setting with sandy beaches shaded by drooping palms to stark , windswept rocks and a stonewalled cottage with a roaring fire , our fantasies are always the same : seclusion , peace , a chance to think , a chance to work away from disturbance and the polluted , commuted grind of city life .
welcome to the 21st the spanish film festival . the festival evokes reel inspiración with outstanding films from across spain . this year we bring to you 25 transporting films part of a curated program celebrating the culture , life and cinema of spain .
bigas luna specialist , santiago fouz hernández ( professor in hispanic studies and film studies at durham university , uk ) and professor alfredo martínez expósito ( university of melbourne ) will lead the panel discussions that will follow screenings of jamón , jamón .
critics panned the film and audiences ignored it . ishtar only grossed $ 14 million when it opened in may 1987 .
if all of the people who hate ishtar had seen it , i would be a rich woman today ,
said the director .
in cinema paradiso ( 1989 ) it is the bleak sicilian village from which the film director protagonist escapes to make his reputation . here the house is secondary to the cinema , the church and the piazza which are the real living rooms of the village .
after it premiered at the cannes film festival director’s fortnight , the movie was hailed as a fine - grained drama with overtones of greek tragedy , whose subtlety contrasts with the imposing physicality of the characters and their propensity for raw violence , rage and deceit .
the island dwelling is also frequently a cipher for the idea of conspiracy . the protagonist is isolated and alone in an unfamiliar milieu in which the hosts are often outwardly hospitable but with a hostility in reserve – an unwillingness to open up and , almost certainly , with a terrible secret to conceal . the unsettling setting of summerisle in the wicker man ( 1973 ) is the fullest exposition of this idea .
hoop dreams
is , on one level , a documentary about two african - american kids named william gates and arthur agee , from chicago ' s inner city , who are gifted basketball players and dream of someday starring in the nba . on another level , it is about much larger subjects : about ambition , competition , race and class in our society . about our value structures . and about the daily lives of people like the agee and gates families , who are usually invisible in the mass media , but have a determination and resiliency that is a cause for hope .
again there are many echoes of the way in which children are seen as a shared responsibility in island . the pilot projects , run both in the us and the uk - in greenwich - have been successful , says laura huxley , and her claims are backed up by many who have worked on the projects ; teenage pregnancy rates for those who have been on the programmes are a tiny percentage of the average .
there is , of course , no single island dwelling – but there is a taxonomy of types . maybe the one that pops into the mind first is the villain’s lair . the bond franchise has made an enjoyable cliché of this . it is there in the thunderbirds tv series too , arguably done even better , but it is bond that became the archetype and the best example is in dr no ( 1962 ) .
a movie ' s finished product can often belie the insane struggle it took to make it ; even hollywood ' s worst offerings sometimes end up looking far better than they should . here are 12 stories behind famous film productions where everything went wrong and nothing felt right .
the film adaptation of max brooks ' best - selling novel world war z initially had a december 2012 release date , but it was later pushed to summer 2013 when production woes and delays plagued the project . with less than three weeks left in production , damon lindelof and drew goddard were brought in to re - write its third act and ending .
the script needed months of work , not days ,
a studio source told vulture in 2012 .
and changes were needed throughout the film , not just at the end .
a similarly slick modernism appears in david fincher’s us version of the girl with the dragon tattoo ( 2011 ) as the hedeby house of the film’s villain , martin vanger . the house used is actually the villa överby designed by john robert nilsson , an exquisite swedish summer house and location scout’s dream .
it was his last novel , published just before he died in november 1963 on the same day as president kennedy . huxley ' s death was made remarkable because of his decision to take lsd as he departed . now huxley ' s days in california are recalled in a new book and given a special echo by the 25th anniversary of an organisation founded by his widow , laura , who is still energetically putting into practice some of the utopian principles articulated in island .
the building here presents a departure from the usual island archetypes ; the colonial , the sci - fi subterranean and the fearsome prison . instead , here is an exquisite modern house , coolly detailed in high - end contemporary materials – japanese - style concrete , floor - to - ceiling windows and flowing spaces . it is presented in contrast to mcgregor’s own untidy bachelor pad , but of course , in the movies this kind of opulence and apparent transparency can only mean surveillance and paranoia .
young filmmaker gino m . santos thought he wasn’t ready to make a full - length project , but having gone to kyoto , japan for his film workshops and being taken under the wings of applauded directors marilou diaz - abaya and brillante mendoza , gino has become a dark horse readily proving that age is just a number .
while it ' s unclear if kevin reynolds walked off the project or if he was fired , kevin costner had to finish the film with only two weeks left in production . in the end , critics panned waterworld and it became one of the biggest box office bombs in history when it was released during the summer of 1995 .
although apocalypse now was slated for a may 1978 release date , it was pushed to august 1979 because of continuing delays during post - production . since coppola had a tough time shooting the film , he was unable to adequately capture jungle and military sound effects , so a majority of its sound had to be re - recorded .
the people at st . joseph ' s high school are not pleased with the way they appear in the film , and have filed suit , saying among other things that they were told the film would be a non - profit project to be aired on pbs , not a commercial venture . the filmmakers respond that they , too , thought it would - that the amazing response which has found it a theatrical release is a surprise to them . the movie simply turned out to be a masterpiece , and its intended non - commercial slot was not big enough to hold it . the st . joseph suit reveals understandable sensitivity , because not all of the st .
archera is 90 now but still trim and active . born in italy , she was a concert violinist who moved to the us as a child , performing at carnegie hall in her teens . she changed careers and became a film editor . in the 1950s she had wanted to make a film about the palio , the annual horse race run through the streets of siena in italy . the director john huston told her that if she was able to persuade aldous huxley - who had been in italy and now lived in the desert outside la - to write the screenplay , he might be able to get it financed . she wrote to solicit the british author ' s help .
along with our amazing locations we are working with great directors , crew technicians , sound engineers and composers . some of the most talented set and costume designers , and of course who could forget our unbelievable cast . out of sheer goodwill , some of the best local musicians and artists have volunteered to contribute their skills in both art design and the score . we will be creating not only a film that recognizes the beauty of miami , but a full creative project that will allow us to showcase the real talent that miami has to offer . we really want to make this film be a full representation of the artistic potential in miami , so we aren ' t holding any favors back !
five tickets for the price of four . can be used during the main riiff in august ; the annual rl lnternational horror festival in october , plus any special year - round film series we sponsor . no termination date . we also do not restrict usage , so this is a great way for a group to come and see our programs .
additional music not on the soundtrack album includes
oye como spy
, which is an adaptation of tito puente ' s
oye como va
, performed by los lobos ( the song is on the soundtrack album from the first spy kids film ) ; and
bachianas brasileiras no . 5
for soprano and eight cellos by heitor villa - lobos .
the huxleys had taken lsd together while listening to bach ' s fourth brandenburg concerto - as does the main character in island - and experiencing
aesthetic revelations
. but laura huxley is anxious to put her late husband ' s relation ship with lsd into context , saying that between 1953 and 1963 he took it only around 10 or 12 times , the sort of dosage which some people have taken in a single week . his experiences are described in the doors of perception in 1953 . one of their friends of the period was timothy leary , forever associated with lsd .
when it comes to obstacles , there are a few . our primary challenge will be working with the weather here in miami . most of our film will be shot outdoors , being a miami local i know how unpredictable it can be planning shoot days with constant changes in the weather , sometimes it rains , sometimes its cloudy , and we want to keep continuity as best as possible .
star jason robards left the film due to dysentery and his role had to be re - cast with klaus kinski , who didn ' t get along with herzog during filming . a famous rumor has it that one of the extras offered to kill kinski for herzog because he was so difficult to work with , but the director declined the offer because he needed him to finish the picture .
although many artists have emigrated from cuba to live and work abroad , adiós utopia focuses on the untold narrative of those artists who remained in cuba or whose careers took off after fidel castro’s 1959 revolution . through a selection of pivotal artworks—created in each of six decades since 1950—the exhibition explores cuba’s artistic production through the lens of utopia , both its construction and its deconstruction . adiós utopia introduces u . s . audiences to key events in cuban history and explores how this history affected individual artists , shaped the character of art produced on the island , and conditioned the reception of cuban art both in cuba and abroad .
ishtar is known as one of the biggest fiascos in filmmaking history . warren beatty produced the movie for elaine may as a favor for taking an uncredited screenwriting role on his academy award - winning film reds in 1981 . beatty believed that ishtar would raise elaine may ' s reputation as a top - notch filmmaker in hollywood , but , in reality , it ended her career as a director .
dreamlands : immersive cinema and art , 1905–2016 focuses on the ways in which artists have dismantled and reassembled the conventions of cinema—screen , projection , darkness—to create new experiences of the moving image . the exhibition will fill the museum’s 18 , 000 - square - foot fifth - floor neil bluhm family galleries , and will include a film series in the third - floor susan and john hess family theater .
the exhibition will be the most technologically complex project mounted in the whitney’s new building to date , embracing a wide range of moving image techniques , from hand - painted film to the latest digital technologies . the works on view use color , touch , music , spectacle , light , and darkness to confound expectations , flattening space through animation and abstraction , or heightening the illusion of three dimensions .
but the film is not only , or mostly , about such issues . it is about the ebb and flow of life over several years , as the careers of the two boys go through changes so amazing that , if this were fiction , we would say it was unbelievable . the filmmakers ( steve james , frederick marx and peter gilbert ) shot miles of film , 250 hours in all , and that means they were there for several of the dramatic turning - points in the lives of the two young men . for both , there are reversals of fortune - life seems bleak , and then is redeemed by hope and sometimes even triumph . i was caught up in their destinies as i rarely am in a fiction thriller , because real life can be a cliff - hanger , too .
was the animals autobiographical to you in any way ? do you see yourself in a character you’ve written ? it was actually more autobiographical to my friends [ laughs ] . a lot of my friends inspired some of the characters in the film . but of course , a part of me was in each character—someone who wants to belong , someone who wants to have fun , and someone who always wants more .
