Dr Jon Hughes (Royal Holloway, University of London) explores the making of one of the landmark films of the Weimar Republic: Robert Siodmak and Edgar G. Ulmer’s People on Sunday. His BFI Film Classic on the 1930 film focuses on the formative role played by the social and cultural networks in Berlin’s coffeehouses, evaluating how they informed the filmmakers’ methods, facilitated the film’s funding, casting and exhibition, and shaped the film’s story and structure. Tickets available at £6.50 each from the BFI’s website. This event will take place at BFI Reuben Library, BFI Southbank
Belvedere Road, South Bank, London, SE1 8XT.
