Electric Sheep podcast: Peter Greenaway and the Raindance Film Festival
(Peter Greenaway interview previously broadcast 30/10/08 on Resonance 104.4 FM as part of that evening’s “Clear Spot”)

This month’s Electric Sheep Magazine Podcast is a Raindance Film Festival special. ESM is proud to be a media partner of Raindance and this year the magazine’s editor Virginie Sélavy conducted a Q and A at one of the screenings and wrote an article on Faye Dunaway for the Festival brochure while assistant editor Alex Fitch conducted a couple of Q and As and was granted an interview with Peter Greenaway after the British premiere of his new film Nightwatching.
In this podcast you’ll hear Alex’s Q and As with director Guy Ducker about his short film Lover’s Lane and with the filmmakers – David Boaretto and Charles-Henri Belleville – and members of the cast – including Nhamo Shire, Mike Martin and Pierre Henry-Fontaine – of the new British Basketball film Midnight Madness. Alex also talks to Mr Greenaway about the crossover between filmmaking and fine art and the master painter Rembrant’s position as a pioneer of both.

Six Pillars – Persian Esoterica ‘1

Mithras - temple fresco in Marino, Italy. 2nd Century A.D.

Mithras – temple fresco, Marino, Italy. 2nd Century A.D.

nabarz

All too often the English language refers to pagans as an insult, or a primitive people. Yet some of our most common roots are deep within these complex and highly telling belief systems, one of which: Mithraism Nabarz upholds as Persia’s greatest export to date.

Sufi-mystic Payam Nabarz discusses Phrygian Caps, snakes in ancient Persia and the calender of the moon. Zoroastrian and Sufi interests brought Payam to read up about Mithras, and he has steeped his life in the esoteric history of Iran and Zoroastrian rituals, publishing several books and numerous papers on aspects of both, available from Amazon

Fari interviews him on what Mithraism is and the different Persian calenders. For a deeper conversation on these matters refer to late Dec 08/Jan 09 when we invite Nabarz back in the studio for stage 2 in our radio foray into Persian esoterica.

This show was broadcast live from Resonancefm studios, London on March 31st 2008
