About this listen

 In this episode I talk to Billy Stanton. Billy is a writer, filmmaker and the organiser of the Noli film festival. He introduced me to both L’Atalante and Jean Vigo and is a passionate advocate for a free and creative cinema. Links: https://steelcathedrals.wordpress.com/- This is Billy’s blog with links to his short fiction and some of his film writing. https://nolishortfilmfestival.wordpress.com/- this is the festival website. https://filmfreeway.com/NoliTheTooLongTooDifficultTooRawShortFilmFestival- this is the Film Freeway page. https://shop.bfi.org.uk/l-atalante-bfi-film-classics.html?srsltid=AfmBOopHBa-0kvtyJG8doL3BNcU8K7zw8OlwRmcvzM4keHjfVecrdHCb- this is the Marina Warner book on L'Atalante that Billy mentioned a few times https://books.google.co.uk/books/about/Jean_Vigo.html?id=6LDHQgAACAAJ&redir_esc=y - this is Paulo Gomes' beautiful biography of Jean Vigo https://www.sensesofcinema.com/2004/feature-articles/kapo_daney/ - this is a reprint of the Serge Daney's piece on Kapo (and Jacques Rivette) that Billy mentioned when we were talking about After Hours. Probably my favourite piece of film criticism ever! https://sergedaney.blogspot.com/ - there's been two amazing translations of Serge Daney's books in the last couple of years by Semiotext(e), but until then, this site and a translation of Postcards From the Cinema were the only ways to read Serge in English.
