BFFS Block Booking Titles July 2010

27th July, 2010

Here is the latest list of films available from the British Federation of Film Societies’ Block Booking scheme. Most of them are available through to about May 2012, though check the details on the BFFS site. In addition, most of the films listed a year ago are still available through to about July/August 2011, and many of those listed back in February 2009 are available until the end of this year or next. Check the BFFS catalogue for full details.

All the films link through to further details, normally from the Movie Review Query Engine.

    Thinking about the comedy festival, there are some films in this list that we should take a look at:

    • Le Donk and Scor-Zay-Zee: Peter Bradshaw’s review in the Guardian is enticing, though some of the others are rather less so.
    • Ma vie en l’air: apparently a rom-com
    • Machan: “Slumdog sans songs, but with real soul. It’s funny, too.” (The Guardian)
    • The Magician: Parallels with Man Bites Dog, perhaps
    • Tales from the Golden Age: Romanian black comedy

    On the more serous end of things, perhaps for next season (ie 2011-12), we could take a look at:

    • La France
    • Heartbeat Detector
    • The Hide
    • Lake Tahoe
    • Lettre d’amour zoulou
    • London River
    • The Market: saw it at BFI in April and loved it
    • Opera Jawa: “An exotic jewel”
    • The Platform
    • Les silences du palais: I remember being enthralled by the review of this in Sight and Sound when it came out
    • Voisins, voisines
    • Welcome

    Also on the BFFS list is Doris Dorrie’s How to Cook Your Life, which could be worth a look
