	Operation Solstice - The film
		We made a film 'Operation Solstice' about the experiences described within this website.
		In an interview conducted in 1991 for Channel 4's Critical Eye programme OPERATION SOLSTICE, Sabido confirmed that "some of the nastier, more controversial shots that were taken of the Battle of the Beanfield, like the woman being dragged out by her hair", had "disappeared" from the ITN library.
		The media cover-up heightened the publics' outrage against the travelling lifestyle, and eased the way for a new "anti-hippie clause" to be added to the Public Order Act of 1986.

	Geo Trevarthen (formerly Geo Cameron) - Celtic Shamanism - Tuatha Tribe Newsletter - Winter Solstice 2003
		I agree with the film Dogma that it's better to have an idea than a belief, because an idea can be changed where a belief is thought of as permanent.
		Anyway, due to having given tons of short talks over the years and developing the "art of the pitch" in the service of my writing and film work, I'd developed a handy potted definition of both which I proposed as a solution.
		I asked, "Could you not say that shamanism is a body of techniques for bringing the self into contact with the Sacred, and that the shaman is the specialist in these techniques who acts in a specific sacrificial and intermediary role for his or her people?" Gordon agreed.

	Something Wicked This Way Comes - Enid At Home & On Stage DVD
		The second performance was filmed during the summer solstice at the legendary Stonehenge Free Festival in 1884, the last of its kind before being banned for 20 years.
		The first was filmed at Claret Hall, their home and studio in 1984, during a weekend for fans who had attended a series of performances and workshops at the Hall.
		The Enid maintained a presence at the vanguard of underground rock during their various inceptions throughout the 1980s and 90s; this release features the band in two vastly different contexts, both in 1984, when the band was enjoying the unprecedented success of their album SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES (1983).

	news from me - ARCHIVES
		There have now been over 72,500 adaptations of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, with most of the film and television versions getting rerun during a holiday viewing season that extends from just before Columbus Day 'til well after the Winter Solstice.
		Unfortunately, by the time he got around to acting on it, the 1938 film of A Christmas Carol with Reginald Owen was already in the works, and the studio (Universal, I guess) told him, "We can't have two versions out so close to one another.
		P.S. Thanks to a Christmas Eve e-mail from the all-knowing Rick Scheckman, I corrected a minor factual error in the preceding post.

		The film has a few moments of decent suspense here and there before it falls back into the "scream and run around madly" school of plot development, and the ending, which gives HUGE hints of the sequels to follow, is weak and highly unlikely.
		The cast looks good, I'll give them credit for that, but after the first few minutes, the whole thing degenerates into the same old "run frantically from the killer who is calmly walking after you while you pee yourself doing stupid things trying to escape" type of film.
		This was my entry into the Summer Solstice Write-Off hosted by Bluehawq, and reflecting a summer theme.

	Interview: Jeanne Moreau - interview with French actress - Interview
		It's based on her book Solstice, which [actress] Carole Bouquet gave me a couple of years ago, and I'm going to direct the film of it next year.
		She was almost thirty, after all, with a decade of film and stage work behind her, when she first won international fame as the heroine of Louis Malle's two sultry love stories, L'ascenseur pour l'echafaud (Elevator to the Gallows) and Les Amants (The Lovers) in 1957 and 1958, respectively.
		One of the screen's great sensualists, Jeanne Moreau has always poured passion into her life as an actress as readily as most of us pour cream into coffee.

	Cinephiles Discussion Forums: The true understanding of "the House"
		Also, if Kubrick was intending to portray Hieros Gamos in this film, and the decorated trees symbolized Christmas (which they obviously did), then his timing on the ritual was wrong.
		Typically, the ritual is held at the equinoxes of the year (I read this somewhere) and obiviously it is depicted around christmas time (was Kubrick& pagan symbolism a little off track as he was trying to make it occur around the winter solstice?).
		Hieros gamos is a greek term meaning "sacred marriage." In all seriousness, Hieros Gamos may appear to be a sex ritual, but it actually has nothing to do with eroticism, because it is considered a spiritual act.

	Rite of the Divine King
		Additionally, to create the rebirth of King Arthur in young Prince William Arthur Philip Louis Windsor (born Summer Solstice 1982) would require some extremely powerful magickal energy indeed; which could only be raised by the ritual murder of a “divine king” or a “royal” substitute.
		But the point I wish to emphasize here is that this film played on the pagan concept that a vicarious substitute could be chosen to replace the actual high priest king.
		Aside from the parliamentary crisis involved (an heir to the throne of England technically could not divorce and then remarry), it also meant that the precious Prince William would be primarily in the custody of Diana and not under the watchful eye of the royals at Buckingham Palace.
