Once is a 2007 Irish romantic musical drama film written and directed by John Carney. The film stars Glen Hansard and Markta Irglov as two struggling musicians in Dublin, Ireland. Hansard and Irglov had previously performed music as the Swell Season, and composed and performed the film's original songs.

The two leads, Hansard and Irglov, are professional musicians.[6] Director Carney, former bassist for Hansard's band the Frames, had asked a long-time friend to share busker anecdotes and compose songs for the film, but originally intended the male lead to be played by actor Cillian Murphy,[7] who was an almost-signed rock musician before turning to acting.[8] Murphy was also going to be one of the film's producers, but reportedly did not like the prospect of acting opposite non-actor Irglov, who was then 17 years old. Murphy also believed he did not have the vocal capabilities to belt out Hansard's octave-leaping songs, so he pulled out, as did the film's other producers, also withdrawing their financial support.[9] Carney then turned to songwriter Hansard, who had done only one acting job before, a supporting role as guitarist Outspan Foster in the 1991 ensemble film The Commitments, the story of a Dublin soul music cover band. Initially, Hansard was reluctant, fearing that he wouldn't be able to pull it off, but after stipulating that he had to be fully involved in the filmmaking process and that it be low-budget and intimate, he agreed.[9]

Produced on a shoestring, about 75 percent of the budget was funded by Bord Scannn na hireann (The Irish Film Board), with Carney committing some of his own money. The director gave his salary to the two stars, and promised a share of the proceeds to everyone if the film was a success. Filmed with a skeleton crew on a 17-day shoot, the filmmakers saved money by using natural light and shooting at friends' houses.[10] The musical party scene was filmed in Hansard's own flat, with his personal friends playing the partygoers/musicians.[11] His mother, Catherine Hansard, is briefly featured singing solo. The Dublin street scenes were recorded without permits, and with a long lens so that many passersby didn't realize that a film was being made. The long lens also helped the non-professional actors relax and forget about the camera, and some of the dialogue was improvised.[9]

A rough cut of the film was previewed on 15 July 2006 at the Galway Film Fleadh, but the film was subsequently turned down by several prestigious European film festivals.[20] However, once finished, it secured spots at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival on 20 January 2007 and the Dublin Film Festival in February 2007, and received the audience awards at both events.[21]

The film was first released on cinema in Ireland by Buena Vista International on 23 March 2007, followed by a limited release in the United States by Fox Searchlight Pictures on 16 May 2007. After its second weekend in release in the United States and Canada, the film topped the 23 May 2007 indieWIRE box office chart with nearly $31,000 average per location.[22] As of 28 March 2009, Once has grossed nearly $9.5 million in North America and over $20 million worldwide.[23]

After 2007's box office success and critical acclaim, the film won the Independent Spirit Award for Best Foreign Film.[24][25] Steven Spielberg was quoted as saying, "a little movie called Once gave me enough inspiration to last the rest of the year." When informed of Spielberg's comments, director John Carney told Sky News, "in the end of the day, he's just a guy with a beard." At the time of that interview, Carney himself was also wearing a beard.[26]

Once won very high marks from U.S. critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, it holds a 97% approval rating based on 159 reviews, with an average score of 8.30/10. The website's critical consensus states, "A charming, captivating tale of love and music, Once sets the standard for the modern musical. And with Dublin as its backdrop, Once is fun and fresh."[36] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 88 out of 100 based on reviews from 33 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[37] In May, on Ebert & Roeper, both Richard Roeper and guest critic Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune gave enthusiastic reviews. Phillips called it, "the most charming thing I've seen all year", "the Brief Encounter for the 21st century", his favorite music film since 1984's Stop Making Sense and said, "It may well be the best music film of our generation". Roeper referred to the film's recording studio scene as "more inspirational and uplifting than almost any number of Dreamgirls or Chicago or any of those multi-zillion dollar musical showstopping films. In its own way, it will blow you away."[38] Ebert gave the film four stars out of four, saying that he was "not at all surprised" that Philips had named it the best film of the year.[39]

A collector's edition of the soundtrack was released on 4 December 2007 in the U.S. with additional songs and a bonus DVD featuring live performances and interviews about the film. The additional songs were two previously unreleased Van Morrison covers: Hansard's "And the Healing Has Begun," and Hansard and Irglov's "Into the Mystic."[50]

The film has been adapted for the stage as the musical Once. It first opened at the New York Theatre Workshop on 6 December 2011. The screenplay was adapted by Enda Walsh and the production directed by John Tiffany.[54]

In February 2012, the musical transferred to Broadway's Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre. It began in previews on 28 February 2012 and opened on 18 March 2012.[55] Directed by John Tiffany, the cast features Steve Kazee as Guy and Cristin Milioti as Girl with sets and costumes by Bob Crowley.[56] The music is from the film with two additional songs, and the cast is also the orchestra. The musical opened up to generally positive reviews.[57] Since its opening, Once has been named Best Musical by The Outer Critics' Circle, Drama League, The New York Drama Critics' Circle, and the Tony Awards.

I want to develop 2 films at once I've done it before at school but I cant remember how to do and what the measurements are. I have got ilford chemicals to use to develop the film but I don't know how to use them as I haven't used it before and not sure whether its the same as others or not. I can figue out how develop one on its own but Im not sure whether it is different amount for developing 2, do I double the amount of chemicals or do I keep the same amount for developing 1

The film is set in Dublin, where we see a street musician singing for donations. This is the Guy (Glen Hansard). He attracts an audience of the Girl (Marketa Irglova). She loves his music. She's a pianist herself. He wants to hear her play. She doesn't have a piano. She takes him to a music store where she knows the owner, and they use a display piano. She plays some Mendelssohn. We are in love with this movie. He is falling in love with her. He just sits there and listens. She is falling in love with him. She just sits there and plays. There is an unusual delay before we get the obligatory reaction shot of the store owner, because all the movie wants to do is sit there and listen, too.

The film develops their story largely in terms of song. In between, they confide their stories. His heart was broken because his girlfriend left him and moved to London. She takes him home to meet her mother, who speaks hardly any English, and to join three neighbors who file in every night to watch their TV.

Well, in my Jobo tank 1520, says 485 ml of solution for two 120 in one reel or 135 films on two reels. You can fill the tank with water, making sure the reel is completely covered, and them measure the amount you have used.

According to Kodak, you need 100ml Xtol stock solution for each roll, so 200ml of stock, at 1:3 would make 600ml of working solution, and require no time compensation, but if the film is important, I'd test the theory before committing my precious film. Good luck.

Anchell in one of his cookbooks makes the point that 8oz of undiluted D-76 are needed for proper processing of one 36 exposure roll of 35mm film. That means that 16oz of D-76 diluted 1:1 are needed for a 36 exposure roll.

But your question is a little vague. Are you considering processing two films on one reel at the same time? I'd advise against that in such a small (assuming 500 ml.) tank with high dilutions of XTOL. You simply won't have enough stock solution to get the job done properly. Process one at a time, and use the prepared dilution only once. Alternately, get a larger tank and use multiple reels. XTOL 1+3 needs a large volume of solution to work well.

I would not suggest using 2 films in a 500ml tank when using a 1+2 or 1+3 dilutions, due to the minimum (undiluted) developer per film. I don't have the numbers, but I tend to believe you need quite a bit more than 500ml developer at 1+3 to ensure the minimum developer per film.

Today, a snapshooter can whip out their phone and get an image that pops like slide film, without manipulating controls, and share it in an instant. Likewise, long gone are the days when professional photographers had to worry about a photo lab screw-up costing them a job. And we hobbyists and artists can produce images that, from a technical standpoint, rival those from master film photographers of decades past. And we can process those images in minutes, not days. And with the lights on.

I love the uncertainty of film, knowing that the picture I set out to get might not be the picture I got, but it might be even better. And nothing can top the raw thrill of realizing that quick 'grab' shot turned out to be the best of the roll.

Thanks for your post. Please can anyone help me with this. In the 90's I shot a role of 35mm film daily in my work. I used a Canon AE1 Program with 50mm and 100mm lenses. Is there a digital camera that is comparable to my old Canon AE1? Are there Cameras that will mount my lenses and other accessories? Thanks! 2351a5e196
