In the book’s first three sections, contributors explore sociological approaches to national identity, challenge established ideas about ‘national cinema’, and consider the ways in which national states – from the former Soviet Union to Contemporary Scotland – use cinema in their efforts to create a national cinema, and consider how images of the nation are understood by audiences both at home and abroad.

He traces themes such as the influence of US crime drama on English film, and film adaptations of literary works as they appear in screen work from the 1930s to the present. A Canterbury Tale and the documentary Listen to Britain are analyzed in the context of village pageants and other wartime explorations of Englishness at risk. English crime dramas are set against the writings of George Orwell, while a famous line from Noel Coward also leads to a discussion of music and image in works including Brief Encounter and Look Back in Anger. Screen adaptation is also broached in analyses of the 1985 BBC version of Dickens's Bleak House and Merchant-Ivory's The Remains of the Day." - BOOK BLURB Notes: Includes notes and index ISBN: 9780253221773 More info

In 1946, fifty years after the appearance of the cinema as a regular form of public entertainment in Great Britain, the British film remained conspicuously unchronicled; and so to remedy the deficiency the British Film Institute set up a Research Committee under the chairmanship of the veteren film producer Cecil Hepworth, consisting of producer George Pearson, Ernest Lindgren, Curator of the National Film Library, Roger Manvell and Rachael Low. This volume is the product of their research. The first part of the book traces the growth of the British film industry from its earliest days, including details of production, distribution and exhibition, market conditions, showmanship and early film studios. The second part describes the films of the period, including actuality and topical films, travelogues, vaudeville, comedy, drama, panorama and trick films, as well as the development of film art and contemporary technique. Included are interviews and correspondance with many of the early film pioneers then still alive, extracts from film journalism and catalogues of the period, a record of the first public exhibitions and performances, and one hundred illustrations featuring posters, portraits, studios, travelling cinemas and a unique selection of early stills. After many years our of print, this volume is now re-issued with a new jacket to match the later volumes and will be welcomed by the many film fans, students and libraries who have neergetically campaigned for its re-release.

Identifying and analyzing the many complex forces that shape the production and distribution of feature films, the authors detail how independent filmmakers create work that reflects independent voices and challenges political, economic, and cultural constraints. With chapters on the under-explored cinemas of Greece, Turkey, Iraq, China, Malaysia, Peru, and West Africa, as well as traditional production centres such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia, Independent Filmmaking around the Globe explores how contemporary independent filmmaking increasingly defines the global cinema of our time." -- TAKEN FROM FIRST PAGE OF BOOK Notes: Includes bibliographical references and filmography ISBN: 9781442626836 Donation: Senses of Cinema Contents: -- foreword: producing independently in global industry / David Hamilton -- ackowledgments -- 1.The Meaning of Independence: Concepts, Contexts, and Interpretations / Mary P.

UK; UNITED KINGDOM; DOCUMENTARIES; DOCUMENTARIES: UNITED KINGDOM; MOVEMENTS AND STYLES IN FILM HISTORY; HISTORY OF CINEMA; CRITICISM; GRIERSON, JOHN; FLAHERTY, ROBERT; NIGHT MAIL (UK, Harry Watt & Basil Wright, 1936) Summary: "The image of British documentary has usually been one of artistic prestige and a certain doctrinaire stuffiness. This book is an attempt to recreate the real human experience behind the myth - utilizing a kind of documentary method, intercutting the author's commentary and interview material. Elizabeth Sussex, who is a film-maker herself, talked with all the important living figures of the documentary movement about its complex conflicts, frustrations, and missed chances. Her account is tempered, critical, and knowledgeable. It not only provides a circumstantial record of the movement, but poses issues that must be confronted in any attempt to use film for social purposes. Some outstanding characters in the story - Cavalcanti and Jennings, for example - are evaluated anew, and aspects of the movement that we have known primarily through Grierson's genius for publicity receive skeptical scrutiny. Skillfully edited into a concise and dramatic chronological story, the interviews say more in their cumulative impact than any plain narrative could. The book puts all previous studies of documentary into a new perspective, and will be required reading for anyone concerned with the subject" -- BOOK JACKET Notes: Reviewed in 'The Rise and Fall of the British Documentary: Grierson and the old boys' by William Guynn (Jump Cut, no. 15, 1977, pp. 28-29) ISBN: 0520028694 Donation: Donated by James Sabine Contents: -- preface -- acknowledgments -- interviewees in order of appearance -- 1 the movement moves in -- 2 the spell of Flaherty -- 3 innovations at the Post office -- 4 Night Mail -- 5 the movement divides -- 6 war and the peak of achievement -- 7 the post war decline -- 8 reflections on past and future -- epilogue -- index -- More info

book		Shoot it! : Hollywood inc. and the rising of independent film / David Spaner Vancouver: Arsenal Pulp Press, 2012. Call No: 721.210.4 SPA Author: Spaner, David Edition: 2012 Place: Vancouver Publisher: Arsenal Pulp Press PubDate: 2012 PhysDes: 304 pages : illustrated ; 23 cm Subject: INDEPENDENT PRODUCTION; INDEPENDENT FILMS; POLITICS AND THE CINEMA; FRANCE; UNITED KINGDOM; KOREA; MEXICO; ROMANIA; CANADA; USA Summary: Shoot It! is a revealing history of how Hollywood, with its eye on the bottom line, lost its ability to support the work of creative filmmakers; it is also a passionate portrait of the independent filmmakers who have risen up to fill the void. The book examines the Hollywood studio system over several decades, from the period when it produced more quality yet commercially viable films, to today, when studios seem only interested in surefire sequels and comic-book adaptations aimed at a global audience. By the same token, Shoot It! also celebrates today's great movies produced outside of the studio system, chronicling the international independent film movement in seven countries (the United States, Canada, Mexico, Britain, France, Romania, and South Korea), from its roots (European New Waves, New York independents) to the revolutionary impact of digital technology. It also features commentary from indie film notables such as Mike Leigh, Gus Van Sant, Claire Denis, Miranda July, Woody Allen, Atom Egoyan, Catherine Breillat, Sally Potter, John Sayles, and Ken Loach. While the studios envisage a generic universe, repressing local film cultures along the way, talented independents continue to tell local stories with universal appeal. This book is a celebration of those determined filmmakers who, despite it all, overcome every obstacle and just shoot it. -- publisher's web site ISBN: 9781551524085 More info
