  • Pedro Almodóvar talks about the women in his films
    Following a clip from the 1950 Joseph Mankiewicz film All About Eve, Almodóvar draws parallels with the characters of Eve Harrington and his own Manuella, from All About My Mother.
    He then talks about his memories of the post-war generation of women whose natural ability to act inspired his interest in strong female protagonists.

  • Brian Helgeland | BAFTA Screenwriters’ Lecture Series
    The penultimate lecture of the 2012 series was recorded on Friday 26 October. Brian Helgeland is one of Hollywood's master screenwriters of intelligent crime film, and has won an Oscar for LA Confidential and a BAFTA nomination for Mystic River. He has also collaborated with Tony Scott (Taking of Pelham 123, Man On Fire) and Paul Greengrass.
    In this lecture, Helgeland urged screenwriters to 'fight' to assert themselves in front of commissioners and executives, argued that films should be 'commercial' (that is, profitable on some level) and paid tribute to Cool Hand Luke screenwriter Frank Pierson.
