The Inner West Film Forum presents, a tribute night to Samuel Beckett. Films being screened are:
- Samuel Beckett On Film, (Dir. Alan Schneider), 1965
Samuel Beckett, the celebrated author of Waiting for Godot, made a single work for projected cinema. It’s a chase between camera and pursued image that finds existential dread embedded in the very apparatus of the movies itself.
- Beginning to End: The Works of Samuel Beckett, (Dir. Lewis Freedman), 1972
- A Screen Play By Samuel Beckett, (Dir. David Rayner), 1979
This is a chance to see a little-known remake of Film and compare it with the original. This version was produced by the British Film Institute in 1979, without the supervision of Beckett. The BFI subtitled the work: Film, A Screenplay by Samuel Beckett. It was directed by David Rayner Clark and featured Max Wall, the English comedian, music hall and film actor. Premised as an exploration of philosopher Berkeley’s dictum that ‘to be is to be perceived’, the film involves a cinematic dialogue between the viewpoint of the camera eye pursuing and watching O and that of O himself represented by hand-held camera and amplified breathing sounds.
