Chastity begins at home

Article Abstract:

Danish filmmaker Thomas Vinterberg admits that his own background was not as bleak as that portrayed in his film 'Festen,' which was shown at the 1998 Cannes film festival. This film is a bleak family melodrama which is also very humorous. It was made according to the rules of filmmaking set down by Vinterberg and Lars von Trier in their Vow of Chastity. These include using a hand-held camera, not crediting the director and making the film in colour.

The death-trap London studio that time forgot

Article Abstract:

The British Film Institute held a reception at the Gainsborough Studios in Islington, London, England, to launch celebrations marking the centenary of the birth of Alfred Hitchcock. Those who worked at the Gainsborough Studios in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s had to endure very harsh conditions. There was a considerable fire risk, and facilities were extremely limited. Films were shot at an extremely rapid pace, making the work very tough.

The great white shark of Tinseltown

Article Abstract:

Very positive developments have taken place in 1998, according to Hollywood film studio Dreamworks SKG co-founder Jeffrey Katzenberg. He is particularly proud of 'The Prince of Egypt,' an animated feature version of Exodus. He regards this film as a departure from conventional animation, which has had close links with fairy tales. He hopes that the film will encourage audiences to want to know more about the Exodus story.
