An icy Communist commissar's heart is melted by the luxury and romance of the Capitalist West (and a Count, of course!). Greta Garbo is wonderful in this comedy of ideologies clashing in Paris. https://www.starandshadow.org.uk/on/film/171https://www.starandshadow.org.uk/on/film/176Our Italian Neo Realism Season continues with this classic from Rosselini.https://www.starandshadow.org.uk/on/film/176https://www.starandshadow.org.uk/on/film/70Artist Video Compilationhttps://www.starandshadow.org.uk/on/film/70https://www.starandshadow.org.uk/on/film/182A little bit of arty crumpet for Valentine's night - not the athena poster of the man holding the baby, but some psychadelic 16mm closeups of people getting it on, including macho bikers and bohemian couples.https://www.starandshadow.org.uk/on/film/182https://www.starandshadow.org.uk/on/film/67Brand new Tamil film!https://www.starandshadow.org.uk/on/film/67https://www.starandshadow.org.uk/on/film/278Eyes Wide Open - This is the night for you to submit your films and for the audience to submit to the films you have submitted. They can of course vocalise their feelings because we run a participatory cinema, so heckling and shouts of approval are encouraged. If your film will slice across the audiences eyes like Un Chien Andalou, or make eyes close through boredom or lack of endurance, we the anti-seletors donmt care, because as long as the film is shorter than 15mins we'll take it. On this first EWO at the Star and Shadow, watch out for opportunities to win FREE super 8 and 16mm film and processing. We encourage movie-maker's hollywood attempts and avant-garde ramblings, commonly known as Artist's Film and Video. (£3, free for film makers)https://www.starandshadow.org.uk/on/film/278https://www.starandshadow.org.uk/on/film/274A ‘soapy’ piece of melodrama full of sacrifice, deception and emotion. Bette Davis and Miriam Hopkins star in this weepy “irresistable tosh”. The original play, based on an Edith Wharton novel, won the Pulitzer Prize.https://www.starandshadow.org.uk/on/film/274https://www.starandshadow.org.uk/on/film/252The grandfather of 'slacker' movies,(rough trans. 'The Guys') I Vitelloni (rough trans. 'The Guys') look at their elders, see the sterile results of lives rendered bereft by tradition and "sacrifice", and naturally rebel, searching in easy hedonism for the happiness that has eluded their parents. Fellini's semi-autobiographical, second feature, shares many of the neo-realist traits of his peers, but plays tricks with them too. A bit of a forgotten masterpiece.https://www.starandshadow.org.uk/on/film/252https://www.starandshadow.org.uk/on/film/103We are not afraid of the futurehttps://www.starandshadow.org.uk/on/film/103https://www.starandshadow.org.uk/on/film/222The grandfather of 'slacker' movies,(rough trans.

Young lovers, Mory and Anta, dream of Paris and an escape from the dead-end clutches of Dakar, Senegal. Only when that dream becomes a tantalising reality do they realise that in pursuing their dream, a sacrifice must be made - a sacrifice far greater than either were expecting.https://www.starandshadow.org.uk/on/film/259https://www.starandshadow.org.uk/on/film/248The people of Bougainville, a small island in the Pacific, have a remarkable story of resistance to armed attack from the Papua New Guinea Army and exploitation from mining companies.
