Andrew Kötting's The Whalebone Box is receiving its digital premiere exclusively on Mubi in partnership with Home Artist. The film is showing April 3 - May 2, 2020 in the United Kingdom.The Whalebone Box sees artist, filmmaker, and creative whirlwind Andrew Kötting reuniting with Iain Sinclair for yet another remarkable collaboration after their critically acclaimed and ground breaking Journeyworks jaunts comprising Swandown, By Our Selves, and Edith Walks. Kötting’s daughter Eden acts as an angelic presence, transporting us into a world of wonder as we learn the origins and the journey of the titular box as it journeys back to the Outer Hebrides where it was originally discovered. Incorporating elements of archive and pinhole photography all immersed in Kötting’s characteristic dense and dubby sonic soundscape, the film is mainly shot using Super 8 and Super 8 apps and it celebrates the notion of the home-made whilst also acting as an exercise in hauntological madcap.

Call me Ishmael. Or Tilda, or Benedict, or any number of other names, really, as Plymouth University has completed its “Moby-Dick Big Read,” an audiobook version of Herman Melville’s whale of a novel. All 135 chapters are read by a different voice, including Tilda Swinton, Benedict Cumberbatch, John Waters, Stephen Fry, Sir David Attenborough and David Cameron.

Launched in 2011, the project is based on the idea that “Moby-Dick” is not only “the great American novel” — it’s also “the great unread American novel.” Angela Cockayne and Philip Hoare describe the Big Read as “an online version of Melville’s magisterial tome: each of its 135 chapters read out aloud, by a mixture of the celebrated and the unknown, to be broadcast online in a sequence of 135 downloads, publicly and freely accessible.”

With Halloween fast approaching, it’s time that those yearly Halloween specials start showing on the television.
Shows as varied as the British soap opera Hollyoaks and the classic American cartoon The Simpsons (which is particularly well-known for this) have Halloween-themed episodes around this time of year.
But there are also inevitably some great one-off shows on around Halloween – shows that run for either a single episode or over a handful of episodes, but only once, never to be replicated and not part of a long-running or ongoing series – and it’s those kind of programmes I’ll be focusing on here.
As an Englishman, I’ve watched many great British one-off Halloween television specials and some of them have been highly enjoyable and very memorable.
On that note, here are half a dozen great one-off British Halloween TV specials that you should seek out and watch (or watch again,...

Moby-Dick is the leviathan of American literature - a great white whale of a book that everyone has heard of but few have actually read. As a marathon readalong gets underway, organised by the University of Plymouth, we listen in to some of the celebrity readers - who include Tilda Swinton, David Cameron and David Attenborough. Plus we talk to the man behind the project, Samuel Johnson prize-winning author Philip Hoare, about his mission to democratise one of the world's great literary masterpieces.
Then we take a trip back in time with the great nephew of Robert Graves, whose new memoir, The White Goddess: An Encounter, brings an extraordinary poetic entourage to vivid life under the clear blue skies of Mallorca, where Graves, his muse, his wife and their many children ate, drank and made mayhem. We're joined by Sam Jordison, who explains why he was inspired to publish the...

"Meretricious agents of the Kaiser were stationed at such places as Marble Arch and Hyde Park Corner. In this black book of sin details were given of the unnatural defloration of children...wives of men in supreme positions were entangled. In Lesbian ecstasy the most sacred secrets of the state were threatened."
The above quote, from Wikipedia by way of Philip Hoare's Oscar Wilde's Last Stand, refers to the bizarre obsessions of one Noel Pemberton Billing, aviator, inventor, member of parliament, and author-producer of High Treason, Britain's answer to Metropolis.
Npb was a queer duck: a passionate, pathological homophobe, as well as a champion of victory through airpower, as well as something of a feminist and peacemonger, going by this movie. A weird set of qualities to find in one personality.

In 1987, the iconic filmmaker John Waters was sent by Playboy magazine to interview his all-time hero – Little Richard. It was a surreal, almost religious experience for John who had been a lifelong fan of the godfather of rock'n'roll. So why did it almost end in a fistfight?
Little Richard scared my grandmother in 1957. I was 11 years old, on the way to her house for dinner with my parents, and had just shoplifted a record in the five-and-dime. Mom and Dad hadn't even noticed. Easy pickings – the 45rpm of "Lucille" on the Specialty label. My favourite tune. I felt happily defiant in the back seat of the car with the sharp edge of the single jabbing my stomach beneath the sweater. Once inside Mama's (as we called Stella Whitaker, my mother's mother), I made a beeline to her out-of-date hi-fi and let it roll. "Lu-cille! You won't do your sister's will!
