Welcome to The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here we talk about movie stars! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between.
Today we talk about one of the best actresses working today: Tilda Swinton!
Our guest is the great Dan Walber, public historian and recovering (!) film critic. Walber is also part of the @closefriendscollective, which you can find on Instagram.
Our B-Sides today are: Edward II, Love Is the Devil: Study for a Portrait of Francis Bacon, Possible Worlds, The Deep End, and Teknolust.
Walber speaks to her immediate exceptionalism in Derek Jarman’s ‘80s films, we marvel at her endless range (from Constantine to Snowpiercer and so on and so forth), and I gush about the work of Francis Bacon and the depths of his controversial career after falling in love with Love is the Devil. We...

Fox closed its upfront sales on Friday with gains in both pricing and volume thanks to its new “Thursday Night Football” franchise and continued interest in “The Simpsons.”
Much of the increased demand was due to the network’s new “Thursday Night Football” schedule, and NFL sales were driving force behind Fox Sports’ entire portfolio. In primetime, last year’s hit freshman drama “9-1-1,” “Empire” and “The Simpsons” saw increased demand from advertisers. Fox also attributed the gains to upcoming series “The Passage,” “Proven Innocent” and “Rel,” along with its live production of “Rent” and its “Cosmos” follow up “Possible Worlds.”
Fox scored Cpm increases — the cost for reaching 1,000 viewers — in the high single-digits for broadcast primetime, though the network wouldn’t say exactly how much. An insider with knowledge of negotiations told TheWrap that it falls somewhere between nine and 10 percent. Overall demand for ad space was higher...

That.s now how the actor.s career has panned out but he shot four indie movies around the world in the past 18 months, working with Samuel L. Jackson, Sir Ben Kingsley and Gillian Anderson.

Fringe begins its third season tonight, and the time has come for J.J. Abrams’ erratically awesome freaks-and-geeks fest to become consistently awesome and fulfill its long-teased promise of becoming TV’s coolest, craziest, most creatively audacious cult pop thingie. Lost and Heroes are gone. FlashForward fizzled out. I never got aboard the Supernatural bandwagon — and I jumped off the Smallville bandwagon a long time ago. The Event has potential (I’ve seen the next two episodes—they’re strong), but Fringe has the pole position. The show has the goods for a great run. The braintrust installed by Abrams and...

Toronto -- Sundance Channel on Monday finally got round protectionist barriers to launch in Canada under a licensing agreement with Rainbow Media Holdings.
Sundance Channel Canada broke out of the gates here with a screening of Quebec director Robert Lepage's 2000 indie feature "Possible Worlds," which starred Tilda Swinton and Sean McCann.
To circumvent barriers to entry for the U.S. service, Canadian broadcaster Corus Entertainment rebranded its former Drive-In Classics cable channel as a Canadianized Sundance Channel with a schedule built around six programming blocks of genre-focused movies and TV series.
The Sundance Channel, which launched in 1996, in 2001 was denied entry into the Canadian market by the Crtc on grounds it would compete with existing Canadian movie channels.

Philip Klass wrote numerous science fiction short stories under the pen name William Tenn. He frequently employed satire and humor in his tales of time travel, futuristic technology, and alien contact.
Klass was born in London, England, on May 9, 1920, and moved to New York City with his family as an infant. He served as a combat engineer in Europe with the U.S. Army during World War II, and worked as a technical writer and editor after his discharge in 1945.
He submitted stories under numerous pen names, and achieved fame with the pseudonym William Tenn. His first science fiction story, Alexander the Bait, saw print in the pages of the Astounding Science Fiction pulp magazine in 1946, while he was employed by Bell Labs. Astounding also published his next story, the satirical tale of a futuristic Christmas gift gone wrong, Child’s Play, in 1947.

- Today, Sydney’s Possible Worlds: Canadian Film Festival kicks off, and it promises to be quite a week of cinema. It was a surprise to me to learn that it is the first Canadian Film Festival in Sydney as there has been an abundance of annual minor festivals of national cinema popping up over the last ten years. The festival will be taking place at the city’s recently revitalised art house cinema, the Chauvel. What really separates the Canadian Film Festival from other national cinema festival are the events lined up to accompany the program. The opening night film, Familia, a drama that won ‘Best Canadian First Feature’ at the 2005 Toronto International Film Festival, is being screened with a Q & A with director Louise Archambault. Archambault is also doing a Q & A with the festival’s program ‘Shorts: Award Winners’ as her short Atomic Sake
