The host's story (brian -we should give him name?)
Film club? Let me tell you about film club? Well if I was to say there's a rule to film club it would be - well it should be of course Don't talk about film club'? (beat) I don't need to explain do I? Rules yes. The real rule of our film club is anything goes. Seriously. European, art house, european art house, european art, house. I mean if your even the slightest bit interested in film...come. That's what I tell people who join. Actually I tend to tell people before they join.Like once, or twiceI might mention it at the student union. Please join I go. They roll their eyes. Jokingly. They come to expect it. So actually I'm breaking the first rule of not talking about film club. If you remember the reference. From. Well I won't spell it out.it was quite a famous film. With Brad Pitt. And Edward Norton and meat loaf. And helena bonham carter. Underused. Anyhow my film club. Yes. Where was I.Oh yes. We show a filmand then have a Q&A which I normally lead. it's very unusual for us to have a guest. I'm usually producer, writer, director and star of our little productions. You know. Some people would accuse me of taking over.But sometimes it wouldn't happen at all unless i stood up and was counted! It's a real battle to keep the audience figures up. I mean I'm selective. Some would say 'elitist' but i prefer the term 'collecting the like minded'. I mean I'll educate to a point, but sometimes. I mean take Kevin? Nice kid and thank the lord he's stopped going to roleplaying club. But he's into film for the technology..not the art, not the romance...he spent 'jean de florette' fiddling with his Scart leador some such nonsense. I mean. He can tell you where the dolly would have hung the key grip, but ask him to describe the mis-en-scene and he mumbles something about me being a ponse and goes back to his total film babes monthly. It's not wrong. It's just a shame you know?
Erwin? Yes he's kevin's idea> Now I don;t know what to make of him. He's been tremendously succesful. 97 films! All self produced. I can't say I've seen any of them,but I love auter's. So it will be nice to have a go at getting in his mind. I've read books of course - but to have a real film-maker in the flesh will be a fabulous opportunity. PerhapsI could get to the bottom of late Orson Wells with him?
