Joanna and Lunch Hour from The Flipside. And The Road to St Tropez!

[wideboy]

Two forthcoming releases (25 April) from The Flipside, which as far as I'm concerned, with its interesting screenings and top notch releases of lost films, justifies the BFI's existence:




Mike Sarne's Joanna

• Dual Format Edition: includes both Blu-ray and the DVD versions of the main feature<li All films newly transferred to High Definition
• Road to Saint Tropez (1966): Joanna director Mike Sarne s fictional travelogue, starring Udo Kier and Melissa Stribling
• Death May Be Your Santa Claus (Frankie Dymon Jnr, 1969): Radical story of an interracial relationship in late-60s London
• Fully illustrated booklet features newly commissioned sleeve notes
• New and improved English subtitles

James Hill's Lunch Hour with Shirley Anne Field

• Dual Format Edition: includes both Blu-ray and the DVD versions of the main feature and extras
• All films newly remastered using materials preserved in the BFI National Archive
• Skyhook (James Hill, 1958, 17 mins): Sumptuous colour documentary film
• Giuseppina (James Hill 1959, 32 mins): Academy Award® winner for Best Documentary Short Subject
• The Home-Made Car (James Hill, 1963, 28 mins): Fondly-remembered and hugely entertaining short film
• Fully illustrated booklet features newly commissioned sleeve notes
• Latest entry into the BFI s hugely successful, and universally praised Flipside series

I'm especially pleased about The Road to St Tropez, which I've wanted to see ever since it was featured in a Films and Filming picture spread. And it's narrated by Fenella Fielding.

I'm delighted that 'Guiseppina' will at last become available. Just loved it when I saw it in the Cinema all those years ago
