The Scandalous Adventures of Lord Byron - part 1

To commemorate the 200th anniversary of Lord Byron's legendary travels around Europe and the Mediterranean, Rupert Everett follows in the footsteps of the great Romantic poet in an attempt to understand the man whose maverick sex life, precocious literary talent and stunning good looks made him Britain's first modern celebrity.

This fascinating documentary has been made for Channel 4 by the same team behind the award winning documentary Victorian Sex Explorer, in which Rupert took a revealing and witty journey retracing the steps of the infamous Victorian explorer and sexual adventurer, Sir Richard Burton.

The Scandalous Adventures of Lord Byron is a Blast Films production for Channel 4.

Pietro Scalia has worked with an auspicious list of directors including Bernardo Bertolucci, Sam Raimi, Oliver Stone, Gus Van Sant, and of course, Ridley Scott, with whom he has a long term working partnership. With credits such as JFK, The Quick and the Dead, Good Will Hunting, Gladiator, Black Hawk Down, American Gangster, Body of Lies and an impressive array of Oscar and BAFTA nominations, he's become one of the industry's highest regarded editors. In an 'everything you always wanted to ask about editing...' session, he'll join us at BAFTA to talk through highlights from his work and discuss his philosophy on the craft of editing and the ever-developing language of film.

"Editing is storytelling. The notion of invisible or visible editing is an antiquated view about what editing really is. The art of editing is more then a technical craft about seamless building of the raw materials. The dailies footage and recorded sounds are the interpretation of the written text, distilled through the eyes of the director and every other creative contributor during production. They do not constitute a predetermined film narrative. For me the art of editing is being able to crystallize the dramatic ideas into a coherent and entertaining series of images and sounds, that most fully emerge the viewer into the suspension of disbelief and bring the experience of the film to its fullest. Editing makes the artificial feel real. When a film works, then all the elements of technique become invisible and in turn leave a visible imprint on the mind and heart of the viewer." Pietro Scalia, from Cineaste, March 2009

What the experts say about shooting on RED:
"It looks like film. However, if you finish and screen at 4K, the result is like shooting in 65mm, like the old epics used to do. It's pretty exciting, and will have a major impact on indie filming...but we could see no reason why you couldn't use these cameras for any type of movie." Peter Jackson, director, Lord Of The Rings & King Kong

"Shooting with RED is like hearing The Beatles for the first time. RED sees the way I see" Steven Soderbergh, director, Solaris, Ocean's 11 & Traffic
