	Film on Four (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The series Film On Four was announced on the opening night of Channel Four in November 1982, and helped to immediately draw attention to the distinctions between this and the three existing British television channels.
		Film On Four is often considered to be particularly significant within film culture for providing vital financial support and for commissioning many films which have gained high regard.
		Film On Four's only early success in the cinema was Peter Greenaway's The Draughtsman's Contract (1982), and although the series had been established to encourage new ideas, in the early years the media argued that most of its products brought little that was innovative to television.

	Film & TV: "Four Days in September" (Weekly Alibi . 05-04-98)
		History is at least one of the subjects that Barreto's affecting new film touches upon.
		Four years previous, these upper-middle-class kids lived in a prosperous democratic society and would have found their kicks drinking on weekends and driving fast cars around Rio de Janeiro's winding hilltops.
		The kidnapping is successful, and over the course of four days hidden in the country, the ambassador gets to know his kidnappers, the kidnappers get to know each other and the government closes in.

		But he got his start with a very different sort of material: His first two films, Gates of Heaven (about pet cemeteries) and Vernon, Florida (about life in a small town) were droll, delicate studies of human eccentricity, marked by a wry world-view and subtle, but never condescending, satirical observations.
		Most apparently, the four subjects here are all engaged in different ways of taming the animal world--by whips, guns, and psychology; by scientific study; by creation of controllable, cybernetic "animals"; or, in Mendonca's case, through symbolic effigies.
		No matter what ideological or aesthetic connections we may read into the juxtaposition of these four lives, Morris seems to be hinting, all he is guaranteeing us is wild amusement...a four-ring circus, if you will, any part of which we are welcome to focus on.

	Channel Four (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Channel Four (C4) was a compromise between the two principles: it was to be financed by advertising revenue from the existing private companies, but governed independently from them, with a brief to provide minority and complementary programming to the three existing channels.
		"Film on Four" under David Rose wooed writers (David Hare) and directors (Mike Leigh) from the BBC, and attracted new ones like Neil Jordan and Derek Jarman.
		Funding, like distribution, became a problem: Channel Four has been so successful at marketing itself that subsidy is flowing the other way, as a share of its profits instead reverts back to the ITV companies' coffers--38 million pounds in 1994.

	Film: Four Days (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Four Days feels like a decent short story which was pinched and prodded, perhaps unjustly, into cinematic existence.
		Visually, the film is pretty undynamic; the narration, provided by Forsythe, takes you by the hand and tells you what you should be thinking throughout.
		The film's most powerful image occurs during The Kid's flashback: he recalls playing a mirror game with his dad in the archway of some welfare hotel room.

	FILM REVIEW -- `Four Days' a Thoughtful Thriller / Emotions, ideals explored in story of '69 kidnapping
		Barreto's new film is about politics, but more than that it's a character study of absorbing details and incendiary shadings, of identities shedding masks.
		The film, set in Rio de Janeiro, is based on recollections by Brazilian writer and Green Party congressman Fernando Gabeira, who participated in the kidnapping (it was his idea, in fact).
		The film's pace is measured, but every frame is charged with a rare emotional portrait of people in over their heads and looking for light.

	The Film Festivals Server - AFM News
		Founded in 1982 as the film division of UK private broadcaster Channel 4 to sell and promote its features, Film Four International (FFI) has evolved into one of the UK's most prolific and consistent suppliers of innovative, eclectic, high quality British films.
		Meanwhile, titles on Film Four's slate also include the latest projects from two outstanding UK directors: Ken Loach's Carla's Song and Mike Leigh's Secrets and Lies are expected to deliver after Cannes.
		With this record number of projects on it's slate and buoyant from Trainspotting, Film Four is setting a precedent which the BBC, with plans afoot to merge its drama and films division, seems keen to follow.

	Love From A Stranger Four British Film Scores: Various composers: Film Music on the Web CD Reviews May 2004 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The predominant practice has been for films to be scored in a "neo-classical" style by leading composers happy to accept the financial inducements offered by film commissions, and not least the ready opportunity to experiment.
		Many film music aficionados have been angling for years for some of Elisabeth Lutyens' film music to be recorded – and here their aspirations have been realised in regal fashion.
		Richard Rodney Bennett recently commented that for him film music was a different animal to classical composition because of the strictures involved – there not being sufficient time when it came to film to lavish the appropriate amount of thought required for significant invention and development.

		Though they won't admit it, Groundhog Day is a comedic remake of the short film 12:01, and both are great.

	FilmJerk.com - Film Review: Four Brothers
		These are scenes that break ground on the film in such a way that promises notorious director John Singleton is going to take this path of grief and revenge very seriously.
		Singleton’s film is in the spirit of “Death Wish” and “Shaft,” or any other film where men shoot first, shoot again, then try to squeeze in some questions.
		It’s a film juiced with machismo, where women get in the way and homosexuality is the worst offense for a male.

		And then consider this: Rather than edit the film together in the usual fashion, Figgis has presented all four tapes simultaneously, one in each quadrant of the screen.
		Well, yes and no. Even though there was no visual editing beyond the synching of the four camera views, there has been, by necessity, quite a bit of work on the audio, and those decisions serve to create a sort of pseudo-editing.
		As a result, while there are occasions when the sounds for all four images are at roughly the same level, most of the time Figgis has chosen to emphasize those accompanying one of the images, at the expense of the others.

	Four of the Apocalypse
		With a disconcerting flatness which quickly turns to boredom, Four of the Apocalypse only deserves to be seen as the testimony of an era of excesses which witness a cinema in transition (from western to horror).
		The highlight of the film, if one can call it that, is the skinning of a prisoner's chest that then receives a sheriff's star.
		We are spared nothing since the film abounds in other treasures like a long sequence of the shooting of partridges, a rape, a naked guy running under the rain in a cemetery at night (a favorite ingredient of horror flicks), the massacre of a congregation as well as the general atmosphere.

	Film Review: 'Four Feathers': Can Love Conquer Colonialism?
		Here I was, all prepared to hate "The Four Feathers." I had no doubt that the subject of brutal English colonization of the Sudan, combined with yet-another-story-of-dashing-pale-Brits, combined with any peek at a noble savage, would be enough to make me hurl my popcorn and Raisinets.
		"The Four Feathers" is set in the era of the far-flung British empire when young, privileged sons at an English military academy are called to fight in the Sudan.
		His desire to prove them wrong and his desire to fight for his friends (even though these points are not well-explained in the film) takes him into the heart of the battle he first tried to avoid, and to the limits of self-sacrifice.

		"Four Sons" is an excellent example of the zenith that silent film had reached in this year and certainly would be more universally considered among the great films of the silent era if it had had the proper exposure over the years.
		As we are being introduced to the four sons at the beginning, Joseph is returning with a wagonload of hay.
		"Four Sons" and Ford's handling of the story is unique, and this film can undoubtedly stand shoulder to shoulder with the best to come out of the late silent period.

		National Heritage statistics claim that 'between 1990 and 1994, the UK was one of only four countries among the top 20 film making nations to show an increase in the number of films produced' (in the same period France had a drop of 21% and the US dropped 12%).
		When I accepted my position at Channel Four it was only on the condition that the channel would help pay television's debt back to the film industry.
		Film-makers are starting to realise that the only way to get a film made is to interest Channel Four, British Screen (who depend greatly on Channel Four), and the BFI, and therefore set out to make something which falls within their budget and their concept'.

		Quad squad: Four simultaneously filmed views of reality unfold on the screen at the same time in Time Code.
		The most obvious analogy -- one that Figgis, a former professional musician and composer of the film's score, invokes -- is musical.
		While the story itself may be thin, Figgis' technique allowed the actors to become truly absorbed in their roles, recapturing one of the virtues of stage performance most commonly lost on the big screen.

		While it's no secret that film is an industry geared primarily towards profit rather than upholding artistic standards, this seemed like a betrayal of everything that FilmFour once stood for: making smart, sassy, specifically British films that re-energised our moribund industry.
		We were in on the jokes, but for Mr America in his multiplex, the film might as well have been in Cantonese.
		Sure, they were still backing fantastic little British films until the end, but only releasing them in a couple of cinemas at a time (an average Hollywood film would be released in 300 or more).

	Four Sons
		It is great fun watching Four Sons with a view to spotting the overlaying of visual and technical aspects of avant-garde modernist “European” cinema on Ford's distinctive thematic preoccupations.
		Murnau's city sets were re-used for the New York sequences in Four Sons, but more than that, Joseph Bernle's arrival in the city replicates that of the Man and Wife in the earlier film – including shots of static figures surrounded and momentarily masked from view by careening automobiles.
		The most overtly expressionistic shot in Four Sons shows the postman's shadow delivering the fl-bordered envelope announcing the battlefield deaths of two of the family's sons, Johann and Andre; Murnau perfected the use of the portentous shadow in Nosferatu.
