There was a third man – Luke McKernan

http://lukemckernan.com/2013/02/27/there-was-a-third-man

There was a third man. There was a third man. Who is the third who walks always beside you? When I count, there are only you and I together. But when I look ahead up the white road. There is always another one walking beside you …. TS Eliot, ‘The Waste Land’. But what is the story? The doorway in Schreyvogelgasse, Vienna, where Harry Lime makes his dramatic appearance. The starting point has to be the title. Why is this film called. A Night in Vienna. There are other third men to be found. One is rev...

Look up and relax – Luke McKernan

http://lukemckernan.com/2015/07/26/look-up-and-relax

Look up and relax. Look up and relax. Http:/ www.amostv.com. Video screens are everywhere nowadays. TVs, tablets, phones, railway stations, bus shelters, airplane seats, tube station walls, you name it – but until last week I had never seen a video screen on a ceiling. And being bombarded by images into passive acceptance. It was the world’s greatest hits, except that it was nothing like a world in which anything actually lives. The videos came courtesy of Amos TV. I hope and expect to see soon. You obvi...

13 unread classics – Luke McKernan

http://lukemckernan.com/2015/08/03/13-unread-classics

Image via http:/ www.readingtree.org/. Next up, a confessional list. Here are 13 great novels that I have failed to finish. They sit there on the shelves, bookmarks positioned halfway through, taunting me for my lack of staying power. Characters with their lives unfinished, stories left hanging, conflicts unresolved, lessons unlearned. Such books are different to those classics I have never got around to reading at all (. Catcher in the Rye. To Kill a Mockingbird. 1 Herman Melville,. 2 Gustave Flaubert,.

I’ve researched quite a bit into the history of filming during the ‘classic’ period of Antarctica exploration, notably the expeditions of Scott, Mawson and Shackleton, and the films taken by those great cinematographers Herbert Ponting and Frank Hurley. I contribute a commentary to the BFI DVD of Hurley’s documentary. 1919), on the ill-fated trans-Antarctic expedition of 1914-1916, led by Ernest Shackleton.
