Continuing the season of documentaries by the late innovative director.
Soho Story
This was one of Denis Mitchell 's first films. Shot on 35mm film for the BBC in 1959 during the days of steam television, it is a tour of old-time bohemian Soho with Max the busker.
Followed by Quentin Crisp
Made for Granada Television in 1970 as one of a series of 'personal portraits', this is an intimate look at Quentin Crisp, the 'self-made work of art', shortly before he became world famous. It represents a departure from Mitchell's more familiar style of film-making in that it is a continuous interview with a single subject and is shot on location in Crisp's tiny flat. It was also the director's first foray into colour - which may account for the subject's frequent changes of clothes.

In this Timewatch Special, the experiences of six German soldiers who survived the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941 are vividly captured through the viewfinders of the amateur film cameras they carried throughout the campaign. Lying forgotten and unseen by anyone else, the films they made cover the entire course of the invasion, from military training up to retreat, from the everyday to the horrific. Described by the soldiers themselves, these
8mm images offer a different view from the newsreels.

Michael Cimino 's epic saga of the American west, starring
Kris Kristofferson
Christopher Walken
1870: classmates Averill and Irvine graduate from Harvard and seem set for a spectacular future. Twenty years later, Averill is a federal marshall and Irvine is a drunk who, with fellow cattlemen, is opposed to the growing numbers of foreign immigrants. A loose account of a dark period in American history, this massive and complex film, both violent and moving, is famous for the amount of money it cost to make - more than$35 million - much of it spent on minute attention to period detail.
