Exploring Cinema's Unmade Projects with film historian Ian Christie

Think of all the films that don't get made. On second thoughts, don't - many of them could have been even worse than much of what did get the green light. But what about films we'd really have wanted to see, often their director's long-cherished projects. Films like the final part of Eisenstein's Ivan the Terrible, Michael Powell's The Tempest or David Lean's Nostromo. Then there are films started, but unfinished, like Von Stroheim's Queen Kelly and Von Sternberg's I Claudius, Welles' Don Quixote and Terry Gilliam's more recent stab at the same ill-fated subject. Ian Christie will be showing some of the tantalising fragments and planning that survives from these and other projects, and speculating on how they might have changed cinema history.
