On Todd Haynes Happy Independence Day!

Tuesday, January 13, 2015

Film Studies For Free is off on its annual holiday. 
Back in two weeks. Hasta entonces, lectores queridos



Richard Dyer, Professor of Film Studies at University of Warwick and author of White and The Matter of Images will join Todd Haynes to discuss issues raised by his work and the Hopper film programme at the Tate Modern, London, June 4, 2004.

In the first of a two-part interview, Reel Report speaks to maverick American director Todd Haynes about his latest movie Im Not There, an unconventional rock biopic about the life of music legend Bob Dylan. Haynes talks about the challenges of telling Dylans story, casting the six very different actors who play Dylan, and how he plans to take on the Bush administration with his next project (December 7, 2007).


In the second part of Reel Reports two-part interview with Todd Haynes, director of Im Not There, the rock biopic about the life of Bob Dylan, we talk more generally about aspects of his filmmaking. In particular we ask him about his unique way of story-telling, his approach to the concept of film genres and whether his sexuality has an effect on his ability to interpret characters (December 18, 2007).

On this very appropriate day, Film Studies For Free honours Todd Haynes, a true and truly wonderful American independent filmmaker, with links, above and below, to great videos and many freely accessible and high quality online studies of his work.

Haynes is a big favourite at this blog, and why wouldnt he be as one of the most "cinema-studies literate" filmmakers working today. Heres looking forward to his forthcoming reworking of that Film Studies classic Mildred Pierce...
