Classic - Catch Me If You Can (with Neil Bahadur)

Judith of Bethulia

 It is easy to get caught up in the names that have already become known throughout the cinephile world and their accomplishments and great works. But who will carry the torch through the future? One curious fellow worth noting to the is Toronto-based writer and filmmaker Neil Bahaduer. With his iconoclastic ramblings, larky wit, and soft-spoken but all so engrossing enthusiasm, Neil's writing on cinema seems to be pointing toward something different that splices together the past and the future in hope of creating a cinema entirely alien to what we often limit. Peter talks to Neil about his writings on silent films in conversation with more recent art house filmmakers, the role of the marketplace in cinema that hopes to speak politically, and his ambitous first film, From Nine to Nine. They then dive into D.W. Griffith's first feature length film, Judith of Bethulia, and examine how this curious expansion into length allowed the pioneer to bring together questions of aesthetics and politics. Plus, former guest and eating expert Carman Tse joins Peter to discuss the legacy of one of their favorite all time critics, food writer Jonathan Gold. 0:00-4:01  Opening6:02-28:59 Establishing Shots — Remembering Jonathan Gold with Carman Tse29:45-1:26:57 Deep Focus — Neil Bahaduer 1:27:58-1:31:34  Sponsorship Section1:32:34-1:48:10 Double Exposure — Judith of Bethulia (D.W.
