Decades before Kate Winslet went 'flying' in TITANIC, cinema's most famous prow shot was of Greta Garbo in QUEEN CHRISTINA (1933). Delighted to find this photo of the scene being shot in #BFINationalArchive collection. Film showing @CineRedis on Fri https://t.co/Nsf95XQr3N
Marking Satyajit Ray's centenary last year @PenguinIndia has published a wide range of his writing https://t.co/AHKoFWjNHA - most also seem to be available online in the UK. A complete Satyajit Ray retrospective is now showing @BFI Southbank https://t.co/zJvDJNcPIw
