The Sociology of Secrecy and of Secret Societies. David Fincher interview on The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. The first decision he made about Dragon Tattoo was, he now concedes, the wrong one. In 2008, as he was putting the final touches to his luxuriant F Scott Fitzgerald adaptation The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, a film that had required years of struggle to get to the screen, Kathleen Kennedy, one of that film’s producers, told him she had found another book she would like him to look at. “She said it’s the story of a bisexual motorcycle-riding hacker in Stockholm who helps a disgraced journalist uncover this dark secret about a family in the north of Sweden,” recalls Fincher. “And I said, 'Kat, nobody is going to make this movie. You’re just setting us up to be miserable again’. So I didn’t read it. And I should have. And she was right.” In the subsequent months, Larsson’s book – the first in his blockbusting Millennium series – sold 65 million copies.

“I felt that Blomkvist was a classic journalist,” says Fincher, shooting a vaguely apologetic look in my direction.

Entrevista a Octavio Getino- El cine documental. BFI | Sight & Sound | Light my fire: The Hour of the Furnaces. As S&S counts down to the September issue’s once-a-decade poll to find the Greatest Film of All Time, French critic Nicole Brenez makes the case for one of the key revolutionary activist films of the 1960s, The Hour of the Furnaces Made in Argentina in 1968, The Hour of the Furnaces (La hora de los hornos) is the film that established the paradigm of revolutionary activist cinema.

“For the first time,” said one of its writers, Octavio Getino, “we demonstrated that it was possible to produce and distribute a film in a non-liberated country with the specific aim of contributing to the political process of liberation.” The film is not just an act of courage, it’s also a formal synthesis, a theoretical essay and the origin of several contemporary image practices. Headlines, captions and title cards punctuate the film like riffs in a musical composition. The film was made clandestinely under a dictatorship, and signed by the Cine Liberación Group.

Under the Dome: The smog film taking China by storm - BBC News. Only in China would a documentary on air pollution garner more than 100 million views in less than 48 hours. Renowned investigative journalist Chai Jing has been widely praised for using her own money - more than 1 million RMB ($159,000: £103,422) - to fund the film, called Under the Dome. She first started the documentary when her infant daughter developed a benign tumour in the womb, which Ms Chai blames on air pollution.

Standing in front of an audience in a simple white shirt and jeans, Ms Chai speaks plainly throughout the 103-minute video, which features a year-long investigation of China's noxious pollution problem. At times, the documentary is deeply personal. Near the start of the documentary, Ms Chai interviews a six-year-old living in the coal-mining province of Shanxi, one of the most polluted places on earth. "Have you ever seen stars? " Ms Chai asks. "Have you ever seen a blue sky? " "But have you ever seen white clouds? " 'Work before the environment' Igniting debate.
