SCREENING: Pre-recorded Q&A (Denis Do), Anima(c)tion, Refugee Week
DATE: June 16th
CINEMA: Ciné Lumière
LOCATION: Kensington
NOTE: Previously rented on US iTunes in December 2019. Much like how plans to add a pre-recorded director’s Q&A to Calamity fell through, this was meant to be followed by a panel discussion with human rights officials on the ongoing refugee crises, but due to either the low turnout, management issues or COVID, this was cancelled.

SCREENING: XPlus
DATE: June 15th
CINEMA: Showcase Cinema de Lux
LOCATION: Bluewater
NOTE: Initially did not feel the need to watch this again at a cinema after first renting it for the full PVOD price on US iTunes, but because of my lack of concentration at home and because I was left thinking about it constantly, I decided to give it a go. Emotionally, I can’t say I didn’t regret it.

FORMAT: 35mm
CONDITION: ★★★★
NOTES: A good print, likely to have been imported from America due to the inclusion of the Gramercy Pictures logo. Scratchiest and filthiest on the opening credits; changeovers are as you’d expect but do no noticeable damage to the soundtrack. The changeover that ends the scene in which Marge talks to Shep looks the shakiest, and one iconic scene involving Carl has a few frames written over with a marker, followed by a noisy cut on the next shot.

SCREENING: Regular
DATE: June 11th
CINEMA: Picturehouse
LOCATION: Greenwich
NOTE: Surprisingly empty considering the kind of film it is and that it was a 3pm showing. Sure, it was a week after release and it was opening day for another long-awaited British drama, The Father in this case, but crazy even so.

FORMAT: 35mm
CONDITION: ★★★½
NOTES: The film started off jittery on the rating card an on the first four seconds of the Fox logo, but the rest of the film was stable. Second reel was the scratchiest when Juliet is first seen in the mansion, changeovers are dirty and often abruptly cut off a second or two of film. A few frames of the lovers in the pool experienced a horizontal spice followed by a quarter-second of loud volume. Other than that, though!
