Summary

In this week’s episode of the MK3D show Mark Kermode talks about the Oscar wins of 2024, before welcoming his guests, in this Ska Special

First on stage was cinematographer Joe Dunton, who talks about shooting the film DANCE CRAZE, which has recently been remastered in 4K by the BFI. DANCE CRAZE showcases the very best of the British Ska phenomenon, with exclusive live performances from THE SPECIALS, MADNESS, THE SELECTER, THE BEAT, BAD MANNERS and THE BODYSNATCHERS – brought to the screen particularly vividly through Dunton’s revolutionary camera work.

Joining Mark and Joe on stage are musicians Jerry Dammers (The Specials) and Pauline Black (The Selecter), who talk about the ska movement of the 1980s, and how controversial it still was at that time for people of different colours to take to the stage together.

This episode of Kermode On Film is the first half of the MK3D show recorded live at the BFI Southbank on 13 March 2023.

Thank you for listening!
