Q1 Which one film would you wish to share with future generations?
Spartacus
USA 1960
A rebellious slave leads a freedom revolt against the decadent Roman Empire.
Inspired direction from Kubrick, a great script written in the best radical Hollywood tradition, superb verbal sparring between Laughton and Ustinov, Olivier being haughty, Jean Simmons being gloriously wonderful, Tony Curtis in a little white dress and best of all two hundred extras insisting 'I AM SPARTACUS!’ No contest - Spartacus is the best movie in the whole wide world.
Q2 What excites you about the future of the moving image?
Moving images are no longer the preserve of a few artists and a well-heeled elite. As each year goes by technology is offering us all new ways of taking control of the creation of moving images for ourselves.
