The U.K.’s industry-led skills body ScreenSkills has teamed with the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) to offer workshops on live performance.
The workshops, titled “Live Performance Goes Digital” and led by the team behind the RSC’s stage-to-screen productions, will be open to regional theatres and touring companies as well as independent producers, directors, stage managers and other live performance professionals to share understanding on how to capture live performance.
Over a day and a half, participants will be given an insight into practical considerations at play when it comes to capturing theater performances for the big screen and the processes involved, including an invitation to observe the RSC as they prepare to film a live theater performance in Stratford-upon-Avon. The following day there will be an opportunity to discuss the recording with experts.

"One of the major works of Jean-Luc Godard, the eight-part essay film Histoire(s) du Cinéma has revealed itself slowly over a period of more than 30 years, as a sort of intellectual striptease." In the New York Times, Dave Kehr traces the histories of the making, reception and distribution of Histoire(s), which sees a release this week on two discs from Olive Films. For Kehr, Histoire(s) "is a sort of associational machine, as dense and obscure as any of the Symbolist poetry that also serves as one of Mr Godard's reference points, but one that also solicits the viewer's participation in connecting the dots and filling in the blanks." The work is also "a tragic account of the 20th century: a century of staggering atrocities, which the aesthetic glories of the motion picture medium (or any other art form) were unable to prevent, and may, in Mr Godard's view,...

David Tennant's acclaimed performance as Hamlet Prince of Denmark comes to PBS Wednesday evening as part of the Great Performances series. Immediately following the broadcast, the film will be available online in its entirety on the Great Performances Web site.
Hamlet aired in the UK on Boxing Day 2009 to an audience of more than 900,000. In an article in The Observer, Britain’s Prime Minister Gordon Brown wrote: “Like many people, I had my love of Shakespeare reawakened by David Tennant’s TV portrayal of Hamlet over Christmas.”
Tennant made his debut in October as the host of Masterpiece Contemporary on PBS. His many other credits include his recent portrayal of Barty Crouch Junior in the big-screen blockbuster Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

Opens: Venice Film Festival.
Punk documentarian Julien Temple goes way out on a limb with “The Eternity Man, ” a strident mash-up of noir opera and documentary which should please fans of neither. It recounts the true-life story of Arthur Stace (Grant Doyle), an alcoholic war veteran who found God after a stint of homelessness and gained a degree of local notoriety by repeatedly chalking the word “Eternity” on Sydney’s footpaths over 40 years.The colorful evocation of the city’s 20th century bohemian underbelly might be of passing interest to Sydneysiders. But the shadowy title character is a footnote and not interesting enough to sustain the necessary histrionics of an opera. The film may find traction as a festival curiosity.Temple (“The Great Rock and Roll Swindle, ” “Joe Strummer: The Future is Unwritten”) stages the opera, featuring a libretto by poet Dorothy Porter, on the streets of a seedy-looking Sydney. The Brit director has a keen eye for the distinctive architecture of the place, from the art deco corner pubs to the iconic Harbour Bridge. His painterly compositions are quite sumptuous, and the large-scale projection of newsreels as a backdrop to Stace’s progress through the decades is an effective device.But the evangelical Stace skulks about mostly at night and the only person he interacts with is his shrill brothel-madam sister, Myrtle (Christa Hughes, ) producing a flatlining narrative. When Myrtle screeches about “mirth and muck” in an introductory aria interspersed with images of kinky sex, it’s easy to see what attracted Temple’s interest. It’s just not enough to hold ours.Production companies: Goalpost Pictures, Essential Viewing Group, Illumination Films. Cast: Grant Doyle, Christa Hughes. Director: Julien Temple. Screenwriters: Julien Temple, Dorothy Porter. Producers: Rosemary Blight, John Wyver and Alex Fleetwood. Director of photography: Mark Wareham. Production designer: Felicity Abbott.
