There’s a BS Johnson night at the NFT next Tuesday (16 June):
Tonight we celebrate his unique talent with a diverse selection of his best films. The programme includes Johnson’s bleak, painfully funny contemplation of the human condition, You’re Human Like the Rest of Them (1967); the notoriously misunderstood Paradigm (1969); Johnson’s splendidly unrehearsed meditation on life, the universe and the nature of film, Fat Man on a Beach (HTV 1974); his brilliantly personal portrait of a great writer, BS Johnson on Dr Samuel Johnson (LWT 1971); Johnson talking about the background to writing his own unconventional novel, The Unfortunates (BBC 1969); as well as the cinema premiere of the recently rediscovered short Poem (c1971).
