:: Trama One Life ::
Vigilia della Seconda Guerra Mondiale, Nicholas Winton, londinese, 29 anni, agente di borsa, avvertendo la minaccia dell'invasione della Germania di Hitler organizza un piano di salvataggio, noto come "Operazione Kindertransport" per centinaia di bambini, molti di religione ebraica, prima dell'inizio del conflitto. Grazie a Martin Blake, che gli aveva chiesto di andare a Praga per aiutarlo a coordinare le operazioni del Comitato Britannico per i rifugiati della Cecoslovacchia e altre figure centrali come Doreen Warriner e di sua madre Babette che intanto collaborava da Londra, Winton riesce a far partire otto treni con a bordo centinaia di bambini che raggiungono la Gran Bretagna dove vengono ospitati da famiglie affidatarie. Ne era previsto un nono, ma il giorno in cui doveva partire, il 1° settembre 1939, Hitler ha invaso la Polonia e i confini in Europa sono stati chiusi. Nella seconda metà degli anni '80, l'impegno di Winton viene finalmente riconosciuto pubblicamente quando ha avuto l'occasione di incontrare quei bambini ormai adulti nel corso della trasmissione della BBC That's Life!. Alla fine ne ha salvati 669 dai campi di concentramento e verrà denominato come lo "Schindler britannico".
Un film (in Italiano anche pellicola) è una serie di immagini che, dopo essere state registrate su uno o più supporti cinematografici e una volta proiettate su uno schermo, creano l'illusione di un'immagine in movimento.[1] Questa illusione ottica permette a colui che guarda lo schermo, nonostante siano diverse immagini che scorrono in rapida successione, di percepire un movimento continuo.
Il processo di produzione cinematografica viene considerato ad oggi sia come arte che come un settore industriale. Un film viene materialmente creato in diversi metodi: riprendendo una scena con una macchina da presa, oppure fotografando diversi disegni o modelli in miniatura utilizzando le tecniche tradizionali dell'animazione, oppure ancora utilizzando tecnologie moderne come la CGI e l'animazione al computer, o infine grazie ad una combinazione di queste tecniche.
L'immagine in movimento può eventualmente essere accompagnata dal suono. In tale caso il suono può essere registrato sul supporto cinematografico, assieme all'immagine, oppure può essere registrato, separatamente dall'immagine, su uno o più supporti fonografici.
Con la parola cinema (abbreviazione del termine inglese cinematography, "cinematografia") ci si è spesso normalmente riferiti all'attività di produzione dei film o all'arte a cui si riferisce. Ad oggi con questo termine si definisce l'arte di stimolare delle esperienze per comunicare idee, storie, percezioni, sensazioni, il bello o l'atmosfera attraverso la registrazione o il movimento programmato di immagini insieme ad altre stimolazioni sensoriali.[2]
In origine i film venivano registrati su pellicole di materiale plastico attraverso un processo fotochimico che poi, grazie ad un proiettore, si rendevano visibili su un grande schermo. Attualmente i film sono spesso concepiti in formato digitale attraverso tutto l'intero processo di produzione, distribuzione e proiezione.
Il film è un artefatto culturale creato da una specifica cultura, riflettendola e, al tempo stesso, influenzandola. È per questo motivo che il film viene considerato come un'importante forma d'arte, una fonte di intrattenimento popolare ed un potente mezzo per educare (o indottrinare) la popolazione. Il fatto che sia fruibile attraverso la vista rende questa forma d'arte una potente forma di comunicazione universale. Alcuni film sono diventati popolari in tutto il mondo grazie all'uso del doppiaggio o dei sottotitoli per tradurre i dialoghi del film stesso in lingue diverse da quella (o quelle) utilizzata nella sua produzione.
Le singole immagini che formano il film sono chiamate "fotogrammi". Durante la proiezione delle tradizionali pellicole di celluloide, un otturatore rotante muove la pellicola per posizionare ogni fotogramma nella posizione giusta per essere proiettato. Durante il processo, fra un frammento e l'altro vengono creati degli intervalli scuri, di cui però lo spettatore non nota la loro presenza per via del cosiddetto effetto della persistenza della visione: per un breve periodo di tempo l'immagine permane a livello della retina. La percezione del movimento è dovuta ad un effetto psicologico definito come "fenomeno Phi".

EXCLUSIVE: Oscar-winning producers See-Saw Films (The King’s Speech) are gearing up on Tenzing, about the inspirational life of Sherpa Tenzing Norgay and his summit of Mount Everest in 1953 alongside fellow outsider New Zealander Edmund Hillary.
A search is currently underway to cast the lead role of Tenzing Norgay who will star alongside BAFTA-nominated Tom Hiddleston (Loki) as Sir Edmund Hillary, and Oscar winner Willem Dafoe (Poor Things) as the English expedition leader, Colonel John Hunt.
Tenzing comes from filmmaker Jennifer Peedom who has the exclusive rights to tell Tenzing’s story via his family and has a close relationship with the Sherpa community after making acclaimed documentary Sherpa.
Script comes from Oscar-nominated Luke Davies (Lion) and producers are Liz Watts, Emile Sherman and Iain Canning for See-Saw Films, alongside Jennifer Peedom and Luke Davies. Executive producers are Simon Gillis, David Michôd and Norbu Tenzing.
Tibetan born Tenzing Norgay, alongside New Zealand mountaineer Edmund Hillary, both outsiders on a British Expedition, defied insurmountable odds to achieve what was once thought impossible, reaching the summit of the world’s tallest mountain, Mount Everest. After six previous attempts, Tenzing risked everything for one final venture. He had to navigate treacherous politics and perilous weather as he embarked on the most significant climb of his life. Through it all, he did so with humor, warmth, and generosity towards his fellow climbers, but also deep reverence and respect for the sacred Mother Goddess of his Mountain, Chomolungma.
This will be one of the hot projects at next week’s Cannes market where Rocket Science will be handling international sales in partnership with Cross City Films, See-Saw’s in-house sales arm. UTA Independent Film Group and Cross City Films are co-repping the U.S. sale. We understand filming is being lined up for spring 2025.
Peedom, known for her intimate portraits against epic landscapes, including documentaries Solo, Sherpa and Mountain, said: “I could not be more thrilled to be bringing Tenzing Norgay’s story to the screen. I’ve been working towards this film my whole career, and I’m incredibly grateful to Tenzing’s family for entrusting me with it. I am excited to work with See-Saw Films and our amazing cast to bring this story to life. Tom Hiddleston and Willem Dafoe are two of the most generous and talented actors in the business, so pairing them with our brilliant Himalayan cast is going to be electric. I have no doubt this film will resonate widely. We all have our own mountains to climb, and this film shows us what human beings are truly capable of.”
Producers Emile Sherman and Iain Canning added: “We are so excited to embark on this exhilarating ascent led by one of the most inspirational directors we’ve encountered, Jennifer Peedom. Her award-winning experience in the world of high-altitude filmmaking, alongside her unique relationship with the Sherpa community and her masterful storytelling skills make her the perfect director for this film.”
Norbu Tenzing, son of Tenzing Norgay, commented: “Jen is somebody who has earned the respect of our people, understands the community, and is deeply immersed in our culture. She’s a great human being and someone that we trust, and she has had a lifelong interest in the story of my father Tenzing Norgay. I am delighted that she has taken on this project and can’t wait for the world to see who my father was.”
Hiddleston is represented by UTA, Hamilton Hodell, and Johnson Shapiro Slewett & Kole. Willem Dafoe is represented by WME, The Artist Partnership, and Circle of Confusion.

In a big deal that closed in the days leading into this week’s Cannes market, Apple Original Films has landed worldwide rights to Tenzing, the new package we told you about last week starring Tom Hiddleston and Willem Dafoe.
The question we asked today was whether the U.S. buyers would come to play for the Cannes market projects and we have an answer already.
Oscar-winning producer See-Saw Films (The King’s Speech) is producing Tenzing, about the inspirational life of Sherpa Tenzing Norgay and his summit of Mount Everest in 1953 alongside fellow outsider New Zealander Edmund Hillary.
A search is underway to cast the lead role of Tenzing Norgay who will star alongside BAFTA-nominated Tom Hiddleston (Loki) as Sir Edmund Hillary and four-time Oscar nominee Willem Dafoe (Poor Things) as the English expedition leader, Colonel John Hunt.
Tenzing comes from filmmaker Jennifer Peedom who has the exclusive rights to tell Tenzing’s story via his family and has a close relationship with the Sherpa community after making acclaimed documentary Sherpa.
Script comes from Oscar-nominated Luke Davies (Lion) and producers are Liz Watts, Emile Sherman and Iain Canning for See-Saw Films, alongside Jennifer Peedom and Luke Davies. Executive producers are Simon Gillis, David Michôd and Norbu Tenzing.
Rocket Science was handling international sales in partnership with Cross City Films, See-Saw’s in-house sales arm. UTA Independent Film Group and Cross City Films were co-repping the U.S. sale and brokered the Apple deal. We understand filming is being lined up for spring 2025.
The project was being touted to buyers as having a budget in the $25M range. We hear it skews more intriguing character piece than an action-packed Everest-type but there will be a number of climbing sequences.
Tibetan born Tenzing Norgay, alongside New Zealand mountaineer Edmund Hillary, both outsiders on a British Expedition, defied insurmountable odds to achieve what was once thought impossible, reaching the summit of the world’s tallest mountain, Mount Everest.

A white-looking guy: "I'm not white! I'm Lebense!
Also: "Arabs are just like Greeks and Italians"
Also: In the Middle East they'll support gay rights if you don't bomb them
So let's break this down:
Emil's friends in the Hezbollah bombed Israel
Emil's friends in the Hezbollah planned to massacre thousands of Jews and had their fights, weapons and tunnels ready
Despite that, Israel supports gay rights
But that's not good enough for Emil. He doesn't want Israel to protect its citizens.
Btw, Israel is not attacking Christian villages who oppose Hezbollah.
Turns out that if you fight terrorists for years, then when those same terrorists attack Israel, they won't come after you too.
If you spend years protecting terrorists, then you will certainly be hit by the ricochets.
Who side is Emil on? Not the Christians fighting for their lives.

"Slow Horses,” Apple's TV highly acclaimed espionage drama returns for season three.
#GaryOldman returns to lead the Slough House team for a third season of #AppleTVPlus's #SlowHorses.
Slow Horses is a darkly humorous espionage drama that follows a dysfunctional team of British intelligence agents who serve in a dumping ground department of MI5 known un-affectionately as Slough House.
Slough House is an administrative purgatory for MI5 service rejects who have bungled their job but have not been sacked. Those consigned there are known as "slow horses”
youtube
In season three, a romantic liaison in Istanbul threatens to expose a buried MI5 secret in London. When Jackson Lamb and his team of misfits are dragged into the fight, they find themselves caught in a conspiracy that threatens the future not just of Slough House but of MI5 itself.
Oldman stars as Jackson Lamb, the brilliant but misanthropic leader of the spies, who end up in Slough House due to their career-ending mistakes as they frequently find themselves blundering around the smoke and mirrors of the espionage world.
The ensemble cast also includes Kristin Scott Thomas, Jack Lowden, Saskia Reeves, Rosalind Eleazar, Christopher Chung, Freddie Fox, Chris Reilly, Samuel West, Sophie Okonedo, Aimee-Ffion Edwards, Kadiff Kirwan and Jonathan Pryce.
Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù joins the season three cast as Sean Donovan, the former head of security at the British embassy in Istanbul, along with Katherine Waterston who plays Alison Dunn, an MI5 agent who uncovers a dark secret at the heart of the agency.
Adapted from Real Tigers, the third novel in the Mick Herron spy series, the six-episode third season of Slow Horses season three will begin streaming via Apple TV+ on Wednesday 29th November.
Slow Horses is produced for Apple TV+ by See-Saw Films and adapted for television by Will Smith (Veep).
Jamie Laurenson, Hakan Kousetta, lain Canning, Emile Sherman, Douglas Urbanski, Gail Mutrux, Will Smith, Jane Robertson and Graham Yost are executive producers on the series. Season three is directed by Saul Metzstein.
Apple TV+ previously announced a fourth season is set to be adapted from the fourth novel, Spook Street.

Herbert Mundin, Diana Wynyard, Clive Brook, and Una O'Connor in Cavalcade (Frank Lloyd, 1933)
Cast: Diana Wynyard, Clive Brook, Una O'Connor, Herbert Mundin, Beryl Mercer, Irene Browne, Tempe Pigott, Merle Tottenham, Frank Lawton, Ursula Jeans. Screenplay: Reginald Berkeley, based on a play by Noël Coward. Cinematography: John F. Seitz. Art direction: William S. Darling. Film editing: Margaret Clancey.
There are lots of forgettable best picture Oscar winners: Who today watches The Great Ziegfeld (Robert Z. Leonard, 1936), The Life of Emile Zola (William Dieterle, 1937), or Gentleman's Agreement (Elia Kazan, 1947)? But Cavalcade may be the most forgettable (and forgotten) of them all. Based on a play by Noël Coward adapted by Reginald Berkeley and Sonya Levien, it's the saga of 33 years in the lives of a wealthy London couple, Robert (Clive Brook) and Jane Marryot (Diana Wynyard). Its portrait of their lives and the lives of their servants may have inspired the popular British TV series Upstairs Downstairs, and through it the even more popular Downton Abbey, both of which cover pretty much the same time period. In Cavalcade, as in the two TV series, the families suffer losses from the sinking of the Titanic and from World War I, and experience the social upheaval of a changing class system. But Cavalcade tries to cram it all into less than two hours, and tends to be more blatantly nostalgic about the passing scene. Unlike the creators of the later TV series, Coward and his adapters didn't have the benefit in 1933 of seeing what effect the events of the first third of the twentieth century would have on Britain and the world. It settles for a bit of prophecy in the form of a montage in which various talking heads rant about disarmament, communism, atheism, Christianity, and other ideologies, including a rather corny scene in a louche night club where same-sex couples seem to be on the verge of making out. (The film is pre-Code, so the strictures against depicting homosexuality haven't kicked in yet, though it's clear that the film -- despite Coward's own sexual orientation -- disapproves of it.) In addition to the best picture Oscar, Cavalcade also won a second Oscar for its director, Frank Lloyd, who had been the first director to be so honored, for The Divine Lady (1929). Wynyard also received a nomination for best actress, losing to a newcomer, Katharine Hepburn in Morning Glory (Lowell Sherman, 1933). Wynyard had a more successful career on stage than in movies. In Cavalcade she tries to register emotion by staring meditatively into the middle distance, often seeming like she has spotted something troubling on the wallpaper. The rest of the cast includes Herbert Mundin and Una O'Connor as the Marryots' servants, and Frank Lawton as Joe Marryot, the younger son, all three of whom would be reunited in a much better movie, David Copperfield (George Cukor, 1935). For the record, some of the films that Cavalcade beat for best picture include 42nd Street (Lloyd Bacon), I Am a Fugitive From a Chain Gang (Mervyn LeRoy), and Little Women (Cukor), all of which are more highly watchable today.

Week 10 - Feedback
In class, we received feedback from Emil, which helped me figure out what direction I needed to go in. He recommended many ideas, so I have decided to strip back to ones that feel manageable in my time frame. One of the ideas I received that I felt would put me in a direction I could be proud of was doing one movie poster, and the other images, up to 4, were shots from the movie. However, he said I could just do posters if that worked better. His idea of creating a fake Letterbox profile is one I want to pull off for the idea of manipulation, in a way taking inspiration from the Book of Veles. It would add to the level of manipulation and realism. This makes me debate if I need to take more photos. This ties into one of my pieces of feedback, which is that some of the images from my contact sheets are stronger than the ones I have chosen. One particular image made the viewer ask questions like whether she is pleased with herself, etc.
One of the other core pieces of feedback was on the treatment of my images. The colour grading isn't working for some of the images. Black and white were suggested for historical accuracy, and I need to lean into this for that alone. I can add some colour to the poster as seen in movie posters from that era, such as my red hair and the blood. I need to take a look at these posters as well. Figure out how they are composed, the content on them and the type. He also mentioned that my backdrops don't need to be black. They could be red or even brighter colours. I should consider the significance of the story. For example, with the cleaning-up image, is it a strong image, or does it just feel like filler? In a way, the shot type felt different from other names, so I should consider how I crop my images.
For research, he recommended looking at Cindy Sherman, arthouse films like Suspiria, horror films from the 50s and horror film poster compositions. This week, I will research this to make sure my work has been well-researched. And also to improve my compositions. To flesh out my story, he suggested writing up some lines on who she is, such as moral ambiguity and why we would root for her.
I talked to a few of my classmates after, asking if I should add some imagery to the backdrop. They recommended adding some subtle photos in the background and maybe changing some of the facial expressions using Photoshop.
So my final question to myself is, what is the purpose of the images. How do they work together on my chosen format? How do they make the audience think and feel?

Fantasia Fans! Get Ready for a Neverending Story Reboot!
Remember curling up with the epic fantasy novel "The Neverending Story" by Michael Ende? Well, dust off your Falkor plushie because the story's getting a modern makeover for the big screen! This time, it's the production company See-Saw (known for shows like "Heartstopper" and movies like "The King's Speech") teaming up with Michael Ende Productions to bring Fantastica back to life. This isn't the first time Atreyu and the Childlike Empress will grace the silver screen. There was a cult classic movie adaptation back in 1984, but this reboot promises a fresh take. See-Saw honchos Iain Canning and Emile Sherman are pumped, saying it's a chance to tell the story in a whole new way for a whole new generation. Here's the thing, though. The details are still a bit fuzzy. We don't know exactly how many movies they'll make or who'll be directing and writing. But one thing's for sure: they're looking for a global production that captures the wild and colorful world Ende created in the book. Think soaring Ivory Towers, shimmering Silver Mountains, and maybe even a trip to the dreaded Swamps of Sadness (RIP Artax). This news comes at a perfect time, too. There's a major wave of 80s nostalgia happening right now, and "The Neverending Story" totally fits the vibe. Remember that epic synth theme from the original movie that went viral thanks to "Stranger Things"? Yeah, that one. See-Saw might be aiming for a modern take, but they know respecting the book's heritage is important too. Maybe they'll even film some scenes in Germany, just like the first movie. While some folks might be worried about messing with a classic, the folks behind this reboot seem to get it. They're not just out to cash in on childhood memories. For Ralph Gassmann of Michael Ende Productions, this is about celebrating the power of stories. He says stories are essential, like air and water, and "The Neverending Story" is the ultimate story about the power of storytelling itself. Pretty deep, right? So, what do you think? Excited to see Bastian Balthasar Bux and Falkor fly across the screen again? Let us know your thoughts in the comments! Source: Variety https://youtu.be/28szg6UchWE Read the full article

“Tenzing,” a film about the true story of Sherpa Tenzing Norgay’s 1953 trek to the summit of Mount Everest alongside Edmund Hillary, has been snapped up by Apple Original Films.
Casting is underway for Tenzing while “Loki” star Tom Hiddleston is set to play New Zealand mountaineer Hillary.
Willem Dafoe (“Eternity’s Gate”) is expected to star as English expedition leader Colonel John Hunt.
Apple acquired the rights to develop the project in what was described as a “competitive situation” as Cannes kicked off. It is one of the first major deals to come out of the market as it goes into Day 3.
“Tibetan born Tenzing Norgay, alongside New Zealand mountaineer Edmund Hillary, both outsiders on a British Expedition, defied insurmountable odds to achieve what was once thought impossible, reaching the summit of the world’s tallest mountain, Mount Everest,” reads the logline. “After six previous attempts, Tenzing risked everything for one final venture. He had to navigate treacherous politics and perilous weather as he embarked on the most significant climb of his life. Through it all, he did so with humor, warmth, and generosity towards his fellow climbers, but also deep reverence and respect for the sacred Mother Goddess of his Mountain, Chomolungma.”
The film, which is set to be directed by Jennifer Peedom (“Solo”), will be produced by U.K.-Australian production outfit See-Saw Films (“Power of the Dog”). Peedom recently completed “Sherpa,” a documentary about the Sherpa community and has a pre-existing relationship with the Tenzing family. Luke Davies (“Lion”) has written the screenplay.
Producers are Liz Watts, Emile Sherman and Iain Canning for See-Saw Films and Desray Armstrong, Peedom and Davies. Simon Gillis, David Michôd and Tenzing’s son Norbu Tenzing executive produce.
Hiddleston is represented by Hamilton Hodell, UTA, Johnson Shapiro Slewett & Kole LLP and Prosper PR. Dafoe is represented by WME, Circle of Confusion and Narrative. Peedom is represented by Anonymous Content.
