Skin Kligman director Ronni Thomas, executive producer Frank Szelwach, and star/screenwriter Matt ‘Ugly’ McGlade with Anne-Katrin Titze on screening in Nova Express at London’s Raindance Film Festival: “The program it’s in at Raindance is the perfect thing for it. If you’re doing a short film you should take chances.”
Ronni Thomas’s vital short, Skin Kligman, starring screenwriter Matt ‘Ugly’ McGlade with Jackie Martling as Kligman, executive produced by Frank Szelwach, is a wake-up call for awareness of what is and what is not “informed consent” and what is the real cost of your vanity. In a wide-ranging discussion we touched upon the puppets created by Geppetto Studios for the film; the experiments conducted behind the walls of the Holmesburg Prison; chiseling down the story, and the call for new voices by David Cronenberg’s longtime producer Jeremy Thomas.

Jeremy Thomas (who Tilda Swinton compares to a pirate and William Blake) on Jim Jarmusch: “There’s no more American independent hero than him. He and Sara Driver have been my friends for years, decades.”
In the second instalment with the free-thinking producer and pirate of the high seas (Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg’s Kon-Tiki), Jeremy Thomas, we discuss the filming of Jim Jarmusch’s Only Lovers Left Alive, his “favourite actor” John Hurt, his “very good buddy” Tilda Swinton, Tom Hiddleston and “the great” Mia Wasikowska, and Anton Yelchin “who was such a sweetie”. We also touch upon the opening night of Jeremy Thomas Presents at the Quad Cinema with Jeremy and the Stealing Beauty author Susan Minot, doing a Q&a following the screening of Bernardo Bertolucci’s The Dreamers.

The late and great cinematographer Robby Muller, who died in July at age 78, left behind a large archive of personal footage and photos, which forms the basis for director Claire Pijman’s documentary Living the Light: Robby Muller.

When he died in July this year at the age of 78, Robby Müller left behind a glorious legacy of more than 70 feature films and a reputation as one of the finest cinematographers in the business. Beginning in Germany, where his collaborations with Wim Wenders resulted in such seminal, early-70s European classics as “Kings of the Road,” “The Goalkeeper’s Fear of the Penalty” and “Alice in the Cities,” Müller enjoyed a brief vogue in the U.S. in the early ’80s, which is how he came to be closely associated with New York indie director Jim Jarmusch, starting with “Down By Law” in 1986. When the shift to digital occurred, Müller jumped right in at the deep end, finding an ally in Lars Von Trier, the provocative Danish auteur behind “Breaking the Waves” (1996) and “Dancer in the Dark” (2000).

If you’ve seen the most famous work by such renowned directors as Wim Wenders, Jim Jarmusch, or Lars Von Trier, then chances are you’ve been exposed to the brilliant cinematography of the late Robby Müller. The subject of Claire Pijman’s impressive, but niche, new film essay “Living The Light – Robby Muller,” which just premiered at Venice, Müller was a masterful cinematographer who favored naturalistic lighting and camera movements, often creating beautiful but unshowy images that, more than anything, served the story at hand.

The late Dutch cinematographer Robby Muller "had a permanent influence on the film language overall," according to the Netherlands Society of Cinematographers. His low-tech, innovative style and expressive use of light — on display in such ground-breaking art house features as Paris, Texas, Down by Law and Breaking the Waves, inspired a generation of filmmakers.
