Perhaps the Magic Lantern Film Club would be interested in the University of Sheffield's Music & Film Festival, taking place this February and March?

 

We have two concerts of Great Movie Music, on Sunday 20th February and Sunday 6th March, featuring performances of themes from Pirates of the Caribbean, The Jungle Book, Star Wars, The Terminal and more. You can find more information here.

 

We also have two events looking at iconic film composer and Alfred Hitchcock's frequent collaborator Bernard Herrmann. On Tuesday 15th February Psycho - The Music of Bernard Herrmann sees the acclaimed Tippett Quartet perform works by Herrmann and some of his contemporaries, including the renowned Suite from 'Psycho'. 'The Loyalty of an Eel': the rise and fall of the incomparable partnership of Alfred Hitchcock and Bernard Herrmann, which takes place on Thursday 24th February, explores the relationship and collaborations between the two men and why they fell out so spectacularly over the score to 'Torn Curtain'.

 

We think there's a lot for cinema-lovers to enjoy in the programme, and hopefully we'll see some of your group there!

This Month

Sci Fi....

 

La Jetee - Chris Marker, 1962 (28 mins) a haunting story of time travel set in a post apocalyptic underground Paris...beautiful and memorable, this was the inspiration for.....

 

Blade Runner (Ridley Scott 1982, 153 mins) (Directors' Cut)

Consistently voted the best science fiction film of all time, Blade Runner is a film version of the Philip K Dick story, "Do androids dream of electric sheep?", a stunning vision of the future that has been endlessly copied and referenced. The plot is simple - retired assassin takes on one last job - to search for and destroy four deviant humanoids in a future world where it is hard to tell the difference between genuine human and replicant life-form; how can he - or we - tell the difference? And can he carry out his mission without becoming emotionally involved with his prey?
