What to watch at LFF: experimental films with a window on political conflict
Despite being dormant during the pandemic, cinema has now risen from its hibernation, or at least its time on the living room sofa. And cinema has changed. It always has and always will change. Transformation is part of the core of its being. We continue to see new cinemas emerging from countries with no cinematic tradition, and new waves from those that do. This gives great hope for the medium and the meanings it can create for us, especially in an increasingly troubled world.
Richard Squires on Doozy: queer life, laughter and cartoon villainy | Sight & Sound
Doozy, the first feature from artist-filmmaker and performer Richard Squires, is a creative essay film that explores of the life and work of Paul Lynde, the controversial actor behind Hanna-Barbera’s best-loved cartoon villains: Sylvester Sneekly aka the Hooded Claw on The Perils of Penelope Pitstop (1969-70), Mildew Wolf on Cattanooga Cats (1969-71), Claude Pertwee on Where’s Huddles? (1970) and Templeton the rat in the studio’s feature film Charlotte’s Web (1972).

Difret (2014) Only four films released theatrically in the UK have ever been directed by a black British woman.

We have brought together ten diverse female talents from this year’s London Film Festival programme whose work demands attention.
