About Film

Film is a 1965 short film written by Samuel Beckett, his only screenplay. It was commissioned by Barney Rosset of Grove Press. Writing began on 5 April 1963 with a first draft completed within four days. A second draft was produced by 22 May and a 40-leaf shooting script followed thereafter. It was filmed in New York City in July 1964. Beckett and Alan Schneider originally wanted Charlie Chaplin, Zero Mostel and Jack MacGowran; however, they eventually did not get involved. Beckett then suggested Buster Keaton. James Karen, who was to have a small part in the film, also supported having Keaton. The filmed version differs from Beckett's original script but with his approval since he was on set all the time, this being his only visit to the United States, as stated in the script printed in Collected Shorter Plays of Samuel Beckett.

A man in Bangkok has been arrested after riding a jet ski through a flooded street, sending waves across the water as friends filmed the stunt. Sorn Keadsiri, 27, said he hoped to lift locals' spirits amid the flooding. Sorn later apologized, saying he had not considered how his actions could affect others. A court sentenced him to 15 days in prison, suspended for a year, and fined him 5,000 baht. He was also placed on probation, ordered to complete community service, and had his jet ski confiscated. The stunt came as severe flooding affected communities across Thailand.Daily Mail
