🧼 Today’s BLACK LIGHTNING countdown clip is pure Clara Bow mischief! She hoists poor Joe Butterworth up on a hook just to give his face a good scrubbing — he resists, she insists. Clara laughs, but make no mistake… she means business! #FilmSky #SFFP #ClaraBow

In this scene from BLACK LIGHTNING — unseen for more than a century! — Thunder, The ‘Marvel’ Dog, and actor Harold Austin speak volumes without a single word. 🐾

Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: Online with SFFP—C. A. Lejeune and Britain’s Lady Film Critics. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar. In 1922, with a weekly column in the Manchester Guardian, C. A. Lejeune became one of Britain’s first lay film critics, and began to define what that could mean. Soon, she was the best of the bunch, and the funniest, too – but her opinions often became controversial. This talk will look at Lejeune’s passion for cinema and her remarkable career, which included three decades at The Observer, and becoming a fixture on BBC radio and TV. It will also introduce some of the many women who joined her in giving British film criticism a “womanly” voice from the 1920s to the 1950s. Chief among these is her fellow “Sunday Lady” Dilys Powell, her brilliant counterpart at the Sunday Times, who outlasted them all. About the Presenter Pamela Hutchinson is a freelance film critic. She is the author of books including BFI Film Classics on The Red Shoes and Pandora's Box and her work has appeared in the Guardian, Empire and the Criterion Collection. She is a columnist for Sight and Sound and edits the Weekly Film Bulletin. Her curation projects include seasons on Marlene Dietrich and Asta Nielsen for BFI Southbank. She lives on the south coast of England and indulges her obsession with silent cinema at SilentLondon.co.uk.
