A couple of weeks back I was fortunate to crack an invite to the FDA's Autumn/Winter Preview Event, this is where the Film Distributors Association give us a taste of upcoming releases and what we can expect from the Autumn/Winter period.
To be honest I have missed the last couple of FDA events but was determined to make it this time around as the countdown master and presenter, not just another pretender, the real contender for film schedule mender and part time centaur sporting a new chevelure while he renders a verdict on upcoming films and that guy off the telly - Alex Zane (who you may know from such films as: Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo & Ibiza Undead amongst his many, many other endeavours ) was hosting. And he is always incredibly entertaining. I thought a post would make nice catch up of releases coming up for the rest of the year and early next year.
The evening was as surprising as it was fun, we were greeted with refreshments and exhibition of film art from the Autumn/Winter release schedule as well as a nostalgic display of vintage cinema paraphernalia including usher's uniforms, chairs and signs on loan from The Cinema Museum.
We headed into the conference area where FDA Chief Executive Mark Batey gave us a quick update on the status of film in the UK - and the outlook was buoyant. With September being a very good month indeed, partially due to the release if Bridget Jones's Baby. If I remember correctly he mentioned that the past September had the most UK cinema goers for 20 years, since October 1997 which saw the releases of The Full Monty and the original Austin Powers film and looking forward things looked promising.
Then Alex Zane stepped up and gave us a comedy gold countdown of his 20 most anticipated upcoming releases for the Autumn/Winter period. I have listed these films below - bear in mind that these are only a selection from the Autumn/Winter release schedule and there are many, many more that may float your boat.
Zane was in top form as he delivered his countdown but that was not all as he interspersed the countdown with goody bag spot prizes. I managed to score a rather spiffing reverse gag Guardians of the Galaxy Rocket Raccoon T-Shirt as well as an ace copy of Delivering Dreams: A Century of British Film Distribution by Geoffrey MacNab. Thanks FDA & Alex Zane.
Just when we thought the evening had peaked, Zane invited special guest and Scottish acting legend Mr. Tom Conti onto the stage for a chat about his 50+ year career on stage and screen.
Conti may be most well known recently adding Author to resume with the publication of his first novel - The Doctor and his roles in films like: Lewis Gilbert's Shirley Valentine, Nagisa Ôshima's Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence, Julie Taymor's adaptation of The Tempest, Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises, or Ridley Scott's The Duellists but to see the man in top form watch Robert Ellis Miller's heartbreaking Reuben, Reuben for which Conti received a well deserved Oscar nomination.
From his unique vantage point he regaled us with stories and anecdotes of working in the film industry. His tales included: how the art of performing had changed over the years, how working with directors and had changed, choosing projects, stage vs screen, independent film vs Big budget, what makes a good script & the importance of engaging characters, how good Tom Hanks films are (particularly Captain Phillips) and how some films age (particularly Michelangelo Antonioni's L'Avventura), the films he enjoyed making the most were two Robert Altman films: The Dumb Waiter a 1987 made for TV film starring John Travolta and Tom Conti and Beyond Therapy made the same year and starring Jeff Goldblum, Glenda Jackson, Julie Hagerty and Tom Conti.
... the joy of making films is that you would be on a ship or a tank, these days everything is green screen, back then if you were shooting with a tank, they got a tank. Back then we wanted to make films for tanks and girls...”
As well as some cracking anecdotes of working with talent like: David Bowie, Robert Altman, Christopher Nolan, Helen Mirren and Felicity Jones.
... it is possible for an actor to do a movie and never meet the director. Director's don't stand on the set any more. They used to be that a Director stood next to the camera. But [now] they go away to their tent and watch the screens and shout back to the set. But Christopher Nolan is not like that, he stand on the set, he does have a gadget he can check in his hands but he stands there.Subsequently the FDA have released their Autumn/Winter preview teaser trailer which includes 50 films from the forthcoming season.
Also another great thing about him is that he is calm. Lots of director's come to set in the morning scared to death because they know they really don't know what they are doing and crew are digging them out of holes all day long - , actors, first AD, the director of photography is often the one who who saves their ass. But Christopher Nolan is not like that – he is very calm, very assured and easy to work with. Delightful. He is old school.” - Tom Conti on working with Christopher Nolan
FDA 2016 Autumn Winter Trailer
The biggest six ever releases for this period ever have been Star Wars: The Force Awakens, James Cameron's Avatar followed by Peter Jackson's Tolkien adaptations The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers and The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.
I think Gareth Edwards' Rogue One: A Star Wars Story has a good chance of making a change to that list.
Which brings me to - without further ado 20 highlighted films to keep an eye out for over the Autumn/Winter period.

Richard Linklater: Dream Is Destiny Poster [Enlarge]
|
Highlighting one of the most innovative American directors, this film reveals the path traveled by the auteur from his small-town Texas roots to his warm reception on the awards circuit. Long before he directed Boyhood, Richard Linklater’s intense desire to create fueled his work outside the Hollywood system. Rather than leave Texas, he chose to collaborate with like-minded artists crafting modest, low-budget films in a DIY style. His ability to showcase realistic characters and tell honest stories was evident from his films, and others soon took notice of his raw talent.
Directors Louis Black and Karen Bernstein weave illuminating discussions with Linklater amongst testimonies from faithful actors, longtime crew members, and industry professionals who weigh in on his upward trajectory from Slacker to the Sunrise trilogy. Throughout his career, Linklater has worked with a core group of artists, raising the profile of both actors and the burgeoning independent film scene in Austin. This thoughtful examination of a groundbreaking filmmaker serves as a celebration of a rare talent.

A week in the life of this quietly content couple drifts by, highlighting in delicate, beautiful detail, the triumphs and defeats of daily life. Funny, philosophical and profound, Jarmusch’s latest celebrates the wonder in the ordinary, and proves there’s poetry to be found in all aspects of the everyday.

Following last year’s breakout hit The Visit, Shyamalan reunites with producer Jason Blum (The Purge and Insidious series, The Gift) for the film.
While the mental divisions of those with dissociative identity disorder have long fascinated and eluded science, it is believed that some can also manifest unique physical attributes for each personality, a cognitive and physiological prism within a single being.
Though Kevin (James McAvoy) has evidenced 23 personalities to his trusted psychiatrist, Dr. Fletcher (Betty Buckley), there remains one still submerged who is set to materialize and dominate all the others. Compelled to abduct three teenage girls led by the willful, observant Casey (Anya Taylor-Joy, The Witch), Kevin reaches a war for survival among all of those contained within him—as well as everyone around him—as the walls between his compartments shatter apart.
