The Magician with a Movie Camera: A Tribute to Nicolas Roeg

The Magician with a Movie Camera: A Tribute to Nicolas Roeg

Visionary director Nicolas Roeg has created some classics of modern cinema as well as inspiring several generations of world-class filmmakers by virtue of his poetic eye and iconoclastic approach to storytelling. Danny Boyle considers Roeg to be as important as David Lean in the history of British cinema, and it's impossible to keep track of the number of contemporary filmmakers who cite Don't Look Now as among their key influences. With Performance, Bad Timing, The Man Who Fell To Earth and Walkabout, Roeg cemented his place in the modernist canon - but his influence owes as much to his uncompromising approach as to the detail of his personal creative vision. Join us for this evening where some extraordinarily special filmmakers pay tribute to a cinematic hero.

Quantum of Solace + Director Marc Forster in Conversation

Marc Forster joins the BFI for a very special high-definition screening of 007's last outing.

Daniel Craig reprises his role as the world's favourite secret agent in this high octane action adventure of treachery, murder and deceit. Picking up the storyline shortly after the end of Casino Royale, this is the first direct sequel in the longest running film franchise in history. Betrayed by Vesper, the woman he loves, 007 fights the urge to make his latest mission personal. Pursuing his determination to uncover the truth, Bond and M (Judi Dench) interrogate Mr White (Jesper Christensen) who reveals the organisation that blackmailed Vesper is far more complex and dangerous than anyone had imagined... In a mission that leads him to Austria, Italy and South America, Bond allies with old friends, but with the British Government and the CIA working against him, he must kill or be killed to uncover the truth.

Early booking recommended for this evening that will no doubt whet the appetites of Bond fans everywhere for the forthcoming Cubby Broccoli season that will run throughout April and May and will include screenings of all 22 Bond films.
