Standon Calling 2023 has added Shygirl to its line-up. The Independent partners with the festival this year and will have its own stage at Laundry Meadows.
The London-based musician will headline The Independent’s stage for the all-female line-up on the Sunday night of the festival’s Laundry Meadows stage.
Last year, Kojey Radical, Sleaford Mods and Bimini were among the acts to perform on The Independent’s stage.
London’s closest camping festival has added more names to the bill, with organisers describing it as “the most diverse and exciting line-up” in its 17-year history. In February, Standon Calling announced 40 more acts.
Additional musicians joining the party and Standon Lordship stage include Manchester group Porij, West London vocalist George Riley and avant-punk artist Nuha Ruby Ra. They will perform across the four-day weekend event from 20 - 23 July.
Standon Calling also introduces FutureFlow in 2023. The all-new hip-hop-heavy will close the show...

The final film by Alain Resnais, based on an Alan Ayckbourn play, is sometimes stagey but filled with sadness and charm
Alain Resnais, who died last March at the age of 91, left us this gentle, muted swansong: an adaptation of the stage-play Life of Riley, by Alan Ayckbourn – an English author to whom Resnais was as attached as Claude Chabrol was to Ruth Rendell. A trio of couples are united in shock and anxiety as they hear that their old friend, George Riley, is terminally ill, with just a few months left. All of the women have some emotional or sexual history with Riley (who, like Godot, remains absent from the stage) and when they sentimentally invite him to take part in an amateur drama production they’re involved with, these long-submerged tensions rise to the surface.
The movie takes place in an odd, eccentric, artificial world: studio-bound stage sets...

Time to Leave: Alain Resnais’ Elegant Swan Song
Alain Resnais, that reluctant member of the French New Wave, passed away in March of 2014, not quite two months after the premiere of his last film, Life of Riley, at the Berlin Film Festival. Reaching its theatrical release, the film marks a graceful cap to an extraordinary filmography from a director that specialized in fragmented narratives that play with memory, time, perception, and the complicated nature of human interactions. His final film, while certainly more linear than many of his most famous works, is no exception to his exploration of time and the limited amount of it. Returning with several of his favorite key players, it’s the third Resnais adaptation of an Alan Ayckbourn play (originally titled Aimer, boire et chanter, which translates to Love, Drink and Sing), as charming as ever, presented with its stylized stage artifice.

It all begins with a freeze frame of a dirt road somewhere in Yorkshire county, lined with trees whose lush foliage converges above in an arch. What could it be if not a portal? The movie itself, meanwhile, has not even started as we watch the opening credits, encased in large old-fashioned frames, slowly fade away—a device consistently favored by Alain Resnais who opened each of his 19 features likewise, holding off the films themselves until the screen no longer contained any visual surplus. The freeze frame comes to life as the camera pans farther down the road; then we find ourselves in a theatrical set.
We have been here before, of course. Resnais' Smoking/No Smoking, also based on a play by British playwright Sir Alan Ayckbourn, is set in Yorkshire as well. Life of Riley (Aimer, boire et chanter) borrows from the five-hour diptych its theatrical setting, one...

Alain Resnais's last completed film, Life of Riley (2014), presents a group of aging friends who plan, hope, wish, dream, and scheme after they learn that one of their own is dying. The doomed man, George Riley, never shown onscreen, is enlisted to join an amateur theater production in the role of a dashing lover, ostensibly to occupy him; it quickly becomes evident, though, that the others have cast the charismatic fellow because they need him to play opposite them within the theater of daily life. The men pay homage to George's enviable strength and courage, while the women plot how to escape with him for a country weekend. The otherwise restless Kathryn (played by Sabine Azéma, the filmmaker's wife) appears alone onscreen at one point, briefly breaking f...

With his recent features "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet!" and "Wild Grass," French New Wave legend Alain Resnais showed a continuing flair for cinematic ingenuity. Unfortunately, with "Life of Riley," the filmmaker vanishes into the static nature of the stage play that provides the movie with its source material. Resnais' third treatment of a work by British playwright Alan Ayckbourn (following 1993's "Smoking/No Smoking" and 2006' "Private Fears In Public Places") is his least distinctive project in years. While the French-language, York-set comedy achieves some mild entertainment value from the play's appeal and its engaging cast, "Life of Reilly" is largely a superfluous footnote to the lofty career of its nonagenarian director. By remaining faithful to the material, "Life of Riley" displays a certain oddball charm in its mixture of neurotic characters and one notable absence -- namely, the figure of George Riley, who remains an abstraction and never.
