Freedom: Skid row outsiders, uninhibited deviants and liberating servitude<\/b><\/p>\n

As fantastical paean to harsh, wild freedom Beasts of the Southern Wild<\/i><\/a> hits the screens this month, we look at various forms of cinematic freedom, from John Waters\u2019s outrageous black comedy Female Trouble<\/i><\/a> to The Master<\/i><\/a> and the films of Paul Thomas Anderson while our Comic Strip Review is on The Prisoner<\/i><\/a>. And Greg Klymkiw talks about freedom and servitude with the Brothers Quay<\/a> to mark the American DVD release of Institute Benjamenta<\/i>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

At the cinema we also review The Shining<\/i> documentary Room 237<\/i><\/a>, and we report on the East Asian films<\/a> at the London Film Festival, as well as San Sebastian<\/a> and Venice<\/a>. We have a preview of the London International Animation Festival<\/a>, which includes a focus on Japan.<\/p>\n

Our Reel Sounds column takes a timely look at the soundtrack of Halloween III<\/i><\/a>. We have a feature on underground cult filmmaker Trent Harris<\/a>, whose work was the subject of a retrospective at Raindance. And we look at new Tate Modern gallery space The Tanks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

PODCAST:<\/b><\/a>
\nThe Hallowe’en Sessions<\/i><\/a>: Acclaimed writer Kim Newman and director Sean Hogan talk about their exciting new project, the horror play The Hallowe\u2019en Sessions<\/i>, presented by Cigarette Burns and an award-winning team of horror\/fantasy creators, which will be at the Leicester Square Theatre from 29 October to 3 November.<\/p>\n
