I 2022 fejrer vi, at danske dramatikere i 300 år har lagt et utal af ord i munden på et utal af skuespillere på et utal af scener - og med tiden også på biograflærredet, i radioen, på TV-skærmen med videre. I 116 af de trehundrede år har dramatikerne været organiseret i Danske Dramatikere, stiftet af Emma Gad i 1906. Forfatter Jacob Wendt Jensen har skrevet historien om et forbund af drevne historiefortællere, sceneforfattere, TV-digtere i med-, mod- og søgang. Danske Dramatikeres historier er på 536 sider og indeholder blandt meget andet interviews med Svend Åge Madsen, Leif Petersen, Charlotte Strandgaard, Kirsten Thorup, Kaj Nissen, Sten Kaalø, Niels Brunse, Jørgen Ljungdalh, Nina Malinovski, Astrid Saalbach, Stig Thorsboe, Kim Fupz Aakeson, Bo Hr. Hansen, Line Knutzon, Nikolaj Scherfig, Madame Nielsen, Søren Sveistrup, Jokum Rohde, Jacob Tingleff, Jakob Weis, Anders Thomas Jensen, Mette Heeno, Christian Lollike, Maya Ilsøe, Jeppe Gjervig Gram, Julie Maj Jakobsen, Anna Emma Haudal og Amalie Olesen.

I Danmark i 1930’erne er der lige så meget fart på udviklingen som det nye lyntog, der passerer den nybyggede Lillebæltsbro. I filmbranchen sker der også store forandringer, hvor stumfilmen nu for alvor forstummer til fordel for tonefilmen. 30’ernes film kendetegnes ved den muntre genre fyldt med komik, romantik og musik. Marguerite Viby og Hans W. Petersen titter til hinanden, Christian Arhoff ’Okke-ja’er og ’Okke-nejer’, imens Ib Schønberg snart for alvor skal blive hele Danmarks Ibbermand. Hvor der i den virkelige verden ikke var meget at grine ad i de voldsomme krisetider, så stod smil og latter i kø i de mørke biografsale. Det var dog ikke lystspil hele vejen igennem, for faktisk starter tonefilmen med kendte dramatiske værker af både Blicher og Drachmann. Danskerne kunne også stifte bekendtskab med skattefrie historiske film og de første danske musicals. Velkommen til en fantastisk tidsrejse igennem filmens første tonefilmsårti – 1930’erne. Uddrag af bogen I 1931 udkommer Nordisk Films Kompagni med den første danske tonefilm, ’Præsten i Vejlby’. Det krævede sin tilvænning og især for de mange og efterhånden garvede filmfolk. De fik sved på panden ved tanken om at skulle filme på en helt anden måde og med nyt og dyrt teknisk udstyr. Det var ikke bare ligetil. Filmproduktioner blev i det hele taget meget dyrere, og mange filminstruktører var bange for at give slip på deres ’stumfilmstider’. Men det krævede også tilvænning hos publikum, som hidtil kun havde mødt filmstjernerne stumme på lærredet. Man havde selv dannet sig en ide om, hvem de var, og hvordan de skulle lyde, og det stemte ikke altid overnes med virkeligheden, når filmen pludselig fik lyd på. Om forfatteren Sandra Neerhøj er født 1990 i Sønderborg. Efter endt skolegang og studentereksamen var det lærergerningen, Sandra tog fat på, hvor historie var selvskrevet som undervisningsfag. Det er netop historie, som er Sandras store passion, og dette i særdeleshed den danske film-, teater- og revyhistorie, som hun har interesseret sig for siden den tidligste ungdom.

Derek Jarman's Blue weaves a sensory tapestry that serves as both a political call to action and a meditation on illness, dying, and love. "For Blue there are no boundaries or solutions." -Derek Jarman Originally released as a feature film in 1993, the year before the acclaimed artist and filmmaker Derek Jarman's death due to an AIDS-related illness, Blue is a daring and powerful work of art. The film - and this highly-anticipated book's text - serve as iconoclastic responses to the lack of political engagement with the AIDS crisis. Written poetically and surrealistically, Jarman's text moves through myriad scenes, some banal, others fantastical. Stories of quotidian life--getting coffee, reading the newspaper, and walking down the sidewalk--escalate to visions of Marco Polo, the Taj Mahal, or blue fighting yellow. Facing death and a cascade of pills, Jarman presents his illness in delirium and metaphors. He contemplates the physicality of emotions in lyrical prose as he grounds this story in the constant return to Blue - a color, a feeling, a funk. Michael Charlesworth's compelling introduction brings Blue into conversation with Jarman's visual paintings as never before.
