Episode 26: “Variations On Relations”

Written by Mark Frost & Harley Peyton, Directed by Jonathan Sanger

Airdate April 11th, 1991

The episode opens with Coop, Truman, Andy and Hawk returning to Owl Cave for further exploration of the petroglyph they discovered last episode, but when they get there they find someone’s already done the work for them.

Youth film festival to screen documentary He Named Me Malala at 80 locations across the UK.

The UK’s Into Film Festival (Nov 4-20) is to host a “pupil premiere” of Fox Searchlight’s film He Named Me Malala, which will include a satellite-linked Q&A with the documentary’s subject, Malala Yousafzai.

The free festival, aimed at youngsters aged 5-19, will screen the film at 80 locations across the UK on the opening day (Nov 4) and will give pupils an opportunity to ask questions of the 18-year-old Pakistani schoolgirl.

Davis Guggenheim’s documentary explores the events leading up to the Taliban’s attack on Yousafzai for speaking out on girls’ education and the aftermath, including her speech to the United Nations.

The festival, which places a strong emphasis on educator value, has announced it will screen more than 150 films and host 2,700 screenings at more than 520 cinemas across the UK during this year’s edition.

One of cinema's premiere filmmakers, entertainers and technicians, Hitchcock broke new ground, delighted and thrilled audiences, and not only conquered cinemas but television too. We could go on for paragraphs about the importance of his work and his impeccable craft, but instead we'll offer you this little birthday treat. Earlier this year, British TV host and presenter Jonathan Ross delivered "Perspectives: Alfred Hitchcock - Made in Britain," which as the title suggests, digs into the the U.K. years of the director. And now it has made its way online. Running a shade over 45-minutes, the TV special/documentary explores the British roots of Hitchcock, visits Gainsborough Studios where he first got work,...
