John Frankenheimer on the kind of training & mindset that is required to become a great director:

"At the end of the day you have to be a great storyteller. And you have to be able to master the tools that you have to tell the story, which are, in order of importance, the script, the actors, and then the technical means. You should have studied drama, how it works, the three-act structure. I think that’s basic. You have to be able to communicate with actors. It’s very well for William Wyler to say, “I just want it better,” and do 30 or 40 takes, but there’s only one William Wyler. And you have to find a way to master the tools of your trade. There are so many people making movies today that know absolutely zero about the camera. To my mind, that’s personal su!c!de.

They say to the cameraman “Well, how should we photograph this scene?” And the cameraman photographs it the way he or she thinks is best. That’s wrong. The young director should have a collaborative relationship with the cameraman the way Wyler and Welles did with Gregg Toland. A director has to have tremendous input into where the camera is, what it sees and how the film will be edited. You have to have knowledge to do that. They may even learn some of it in film school, but there’s no substitute for going out and doing it."

Remembering the great Erroll Garner who was born on this day in 1921. One of the most original, intuitive and exciting pianists to emerge during the modern jazz era, Garner was one of the most well known and influential pianists in the world during his lifetime.

By all accounts self-taught, Garner never studied music formally and never learned to read music. Nevertheless, he possessed dazzling technique and a totally unique playing style, including his trademark “strumming” of the chords he played with his right hand.

He was an outstanding improviser who made full use of the piano keyboard, imparting a lush, orchestral feel to his interpretations of popular songs. Garner’s own jazz piano compositions include Blues Garni, Erroll’s Bounce, and his most famous piece, Misty, which became a jazz standard.

He released music on over 40 labels, received multiple Grammy nominations, and recorded one of the greatest selling jazz albums of all time, Concert By The Sea which was released in 1955.

Here, he is performing “Afinidad” live in France, 1972.

An album that brought political consciousness and soul together in a way few records had before or since. Live on BBC’s the Old Grey Whistle Test, 1976.

For decades, Passarinho Urbano was a secret. A collector's masterpiece passed between crate diggers in whispers. Some stories take time to reach the people they were meant for.

In 1995, when a Swedish newspaper conducted a poll to mark cinema’s centenary, 'Raven’s End' (1963) was voted the best movie ever made in Sweden.

It was one of Ingmar Bergman's favourite movies. He said, "'Raven’s End' (1963) is Widerberg’s masterpiece, an impeccable film."

This was the first of Widerberg’s films to be screened in competition at the Cannes Film Festival, and it was nominated for an Academy Award in 1965.

« Son nom n'est pas Netanyahu. Son nom est Mileikowsky. Il est né en Pologne. Il n'a pas une once de sang sémitique. » — Kenneth O'Keefe affirme que les Palestiniens sont les vrais Sémites et rejette les accusations d'antisémitisme contre les critiques d'Israël.

Il dit que critiquer Israël aux États-Unis fait taire les gens et les détruit professionnellement.

O'Keefe affirme que la réaction a été si sévère que sa propre famille, y compris ses enfants, a reçu des menaces de mort.

« Peu de gens sont prêts à payer ce prix. Cela explique pourquoi les gens ont peur et restent donc silencieux. »
