Chris Petit: a small profile

Article Abstract:

Chris Petit believes that he has remained a filmmaker, even though he has been more involved in writing novels in the 1990s. He became disillusioned with institutionalized cinema after making several films in the 1980s, but this alienation has in fact proved productive. He is interested in the areas where the commercial and the avant-garde overlap, and accepts that he probably has not been sufficiently commercially-minded. His most recent project is 'Dead TV,' which will be screened at a mini-retrospective of his work at The Watershed Centre in Bristol, England.

Reconstructing Woody

Article Abstract:

Woody Allen denies that his film 'Deconstructing Harry' is an apology for events in his own life, especially his marriage to Soo-Yi, the adopted daughter of his former girlfriend Mia Farrow. He has become resigned to being identified with his films, even though he has often collaborated on scripts and his work therefore cannot be entirely autobiographical. Allen does not regard himself as a social misfit, as Harry, the main character in 'Deconstructing Harry,' is.

The unlikely lads

Article Abstract:

There is a general unwillingness to invest in making films in the UK, according to filmmaker Guy Ritchie. He indicates that he and Matthew Vaughn still plan to go ahead with a film about the siege of Malta in 1565 but that it will no longer be entitled 'Jihad.'
