Antonioni

Every month, TMINE lets you know what TV the BFI will be presenting at the South Bank in London

After a rather full schedule before Christmas, the BFI appears to want to settle back into its armchair, loosen its belt and have a quiet snooze in January, because there’s a grand total of one TV presentation the whole month. Yep, just one – and it’s a film documentary at that. Plus the ticket prices have gone up by a quid, although if you’re over 60, this one documentary is free, so you won’t notice.

Full details after the jump. Or you can watch it now, because Dear Antonioni is on YouTube. If you’re over 60, you’ll probably want to go to the BFI instead.
