Award winning filmmaker Mark Cousins created this massive odyssey through film history for BBC 4 last year. It is the most comprehensive attempt ever undertaken to tell the whole story of film; it's origin, meanings and relevance to the rest of our lives. The series features many hours of judiciously selected and arranged clips, as well as newly shot revealing interviews with such luminaries as the Coen Brothers, Martin Scorsese, Baz Luhrman, Abbas Kiarostami, Lars Von Trier, Bernardo Bertolucci, Claire Denis and many, many others. Even if you're a seasoned expert on film, this will have you filling up notebooks of must-see movies. The Telegraph said it is "visually ensnaring and intellectually lithe, it’s at once a love letter to cinema, an unmissable masterclass, and a radical rewriting of movie history." Those lucky Brits were able to enjoy it over the course of 15 weeks. We will be presenting all 15 hours of THE STORY OF FILM: AN ODYSSEY on one magical day. Bring a notebook, because you're going to get schooled. (Lars)
