EFP 82: Professor Mark Goble on the Art of Slow Motion
<div><div><div><div>On this episode, host Dr Pasquale Iannone is joined by Professor Mark Goble to discuss a visual effect that is used in everything from action films to football matches.<br><br></div><div></div><div>Whether it’s to extend or amplify, to lyricise or clarify, slow motion is everywhere on our screens.</div><div></div><div><br>Published by Columbia University Press, Mark’s book <i>Downtime: The 20th Century in Slow Motion </i>(2025) takes a close look at an effect which has been strangely under-explored in film scholarship, despite this near-ubiquity. <br><br>Mark is Professor of English at University of California, Berkeley specialising in literature’s intersection with technology and media. </div><div></div><div><br>In their wide-ranging conversation, Mark tells Pasquale about the reasoning behind <i>Downtime</i>’s three-part structure. They then touch upon the work of writers such as Walter Benjamin and Vivian Sobchack on slow motion, before turning to the cinema of New Hollywood in the late 1960s and key works such as Bonnie and Clyde and The Wild Bunch.</div><div></div><div><br>Many other examples of slow motion are discussed - from Dario Argento to Wong Kar-Wai, John Woo to Joe Talbot - and Mark and Pasquale also consider the use of slow motion in other areas such as sports broadcasting.</div></div></div></div>

EFP 81: Professor Martine Beugnet on cinema and the blurred image
<div><div><div><div><p>On this episode, we dial down the sharpness and celebrate cinematic blurriness.</p><p>Going against the common assumption that blur is only for backgrounds, a new book by <b>Professor Martine Beugnet</b> explores the power and poetics of the blurred image. Originally published in French in 2017, <i>Blur</i> (2026) is part of the Cutaways series from Fordham University Press, where authors take a close look at one particular cinematic theme or motif.</p><p>Martine has published widely on film theory and aesthetics since the early 2000s, with highly influential books such as a monograph on director <i>Claire Denis</i>, <i>Proust at the Movies</i>, <i>Cinema and Sensation: French Cinema and the Art of Transgression</i> and dozens of articles, book chapters and edited collections. She is currently Professor in Visual Studies at Université Paris Cité but she spent more than a decade of the early part of her career teaching here at the University of Edinburgh.</p><p>Martine tells Pasquale about the process of having her work translated and the appeal of the short format volume. She talks about her choice of film examples which range from mainstream Hollywood cinema to experimental film, silent cinema to contemporary works. Discussion then turns to the many ways in which filmmakers employ blur, whether it’s to create ambiguity, to delineate a sense of character subjectivity or to shift back and forth in time.</p><p>Films mentioned in the discussion include <i>Vertigo</i> (Alfred Hitchcock, 1958), <i>The Ipcress File</i> (Sidney J. Furie, 1965), <i>La captive </i>(Chantal Akerman, 2000), <i>Son of Saul </i>(László Nemes, 2015) and <i>In Water</i> (Hong Sang Soo, 2023).</p></div></div></div></div>

EFP 80: Neil Brand on 100 Years of Laurel and Hardy
<div><div><div>On this episode, we discuss the work of legendary comedy duo <b>Laurel and Hardy</b>, whose careers straddled both the silent and sound eras.</div><div><br></div><div>They were active between the 1920s and the 1950s, making more than a hundred films together and their unmistakeable big man-little man dynamic would go on to influence many a comedy double-act, from Abbott and Costello to Morecambe and Wise.</div><div><br></div><div>This year marks the centenary of Laurel and Hardy’s first appearance in a film together and to mark the occasion <b>Neil Brand</b> has been touring a show celebrating Stan and Ollie’s extraordinary artistry. </div><div><br></div><div>Neil is a writer, broadcaster, composer and peerless silent cinema pianist. His show arrives in Scotland this month and he joined host Dr Pasquale Iannone to discuss the Boys.</div><div><br></div><div>In their conversation, Neil and Pasquale place them in the context of other giants of American screen comedy such as Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin. They also explore Neil’s previous work on Stan and Ollie, such as his brilliant radio play starring British acting royalty Tom Courtenay. Neil tells Pasquale about the structure of his centenary show, what audiences can expect as well as the joys and challenges of improvising silent film scores.</div><div><br></div><div>Neil will be appearing at The Gaiety Theatre in Ayr, The Queen’s Hall in Edinburgh, Airdrie’s Town Hall, Eden Court in Inverness and the Adam Smith Theatre in Kirkcaldy.
