KEEPING THEM A SECRET WAS A MIRACLE. MOVING PICTURES London, 1939. War is looming as the director of the National Gallery faces an unbearable task. The entire collection must be hidden in a filthy slate mine near a small Welsh village. A young man’s obsession with a raunchy Rembrandt and a torrential rainstorm bring the villagers together to rescue the pictures, hanging them around town - the pub, washing lines and homes. In the process, their lives (and love) are tickled by a new appreciation of spectacular works. In the vein of Ned Divine and Grand Seduction, Moving Pictures is a classic comedy set in the Welsh countryside. SYNOPSIS Moving Pictures is a gentle comedy about a small Welsh village suddenly blessed with the presence of the nation’s art treasures and the joy and troubles it brings to the mundane lives of its inhabitants. The story tells of the chance discovery of this secret hoard of paintings and how a young man’s obsession with one particularly raunchy Rembrandt leads to near catastrophe when, during a torrential rainstorm, the mine is accidentally allowed to flood. But the villagers put aside their local squabbles and pull together to rescue the pictures, hanging them up around the pub and in their houses, only to find that their lives – and in particular their love lives - are transformed by a new appreciation of such spectacular works of art they would probably never have otherwise encountered. This is a film full of wonder and innocence which unite two different cultures in difficult times. The events that take place have remained a precious secret with the Welsh village people for more than seventy years... until now! DIRECTOR’S NOTES Moving Pictures is a British comedy suitable for the whole family, the basis of the story being set around true events where a small community is suddenly influenced by outside forces. As a format this has proved extremely successful in the past with films such asLocal Hero, Waking Ned and Whisky Galore. Set in the stunning environment of north west Wales amid the slate mines and secluded villages of the area, a beautiful contrast will be presented on the arrival of some of the world’s most famous paintings. Visually this will utilise the full use of the cinematic image offering the opportunity to both the director and director of photography to produce dramatic and spectacular visuals within the context of the film. Pictured above is the Welsh village sitting at the foot of the slate hills. Within all the above is the comedy created by the actions of the cast and how those from both Wales and London deal with the humorous and ill-informed activities of each other. Whether it be a slate miner, a Director of a National Gallery, a simple minded virgin or an alcoholic vicar, all play their part in rescuing some of the most famous paintings in the world from certain doom – even though most are unaware of their heroic acts and the importance of the paintings. As Winston Churchill said at the time: “Not one painting shall leave this island. Bury them deep in the ground.” Unfortunately, they chose our village in Wales.

Globalization has enabled countries such as the UK to attain multiculturalism; however, there is no investigation in relation to the advantages of multiculturalism at the film industry level. Multiculturalism is related to the Commonwealth immigration after the Second World War period. The introduction of new cultures into the UK has enabled the growth and development of successful global industries such as the British Urban Music and British Asian Film, which have prospered over time and have now become mainstream export-led industries. Why is cultural diversity significant towards the generation of competitive advantages within the British South Asian film sector? We will explore the country specific advantage of multiculturalism in the UK and their impact on creativity of screenwriters that has contributed to successful films in the industry. Introduction Multiculturalism has been defined by Libretti as a ‘careful attention to and respect for a diversity of cultural perspectives’ [1]. Berry explained the concept in terms of the maintenance of cultural heritage and the relationships sought among cultural groups as shown in the following figure [2]. Figure 1 shows that if a society enables individuals from cultural minority groups to maintain their cultural uniqueness while establishing relationships with the core cultural groups, multiculturalism is achieved.

  • 1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in the Guardian, June 2007
    1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in The Guardian, June 2007 http://film.guardian.co.uk/1000films/0,,2108487,00.html Ace in the Hole (Billy Wilder, 1951) Prescient satire on news manipulation, with Kirk Douglas as a washed-up hack making the most of a story that falls into his lap. One of Wilder's nastiest, most cynical efforts, who can say he wasn't actually soft-pedalling? He certainly thought it was the best film he'd ever made. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (Tom Shadyac, 1994) A goofy detective turns town upside-down in search of a missing dolphin - any old plot would have done for oven-ready megastar Jim Carrey. A ski-jump hairdo, a zillion impersonations, making his bum "talk" - Ace Ventura showcases Jim Carrey's near-rapturous gifts for physical comedy long before he became encumbered by notions of serious acting. An Actor's Revenge (Kon Ichikawa, 1963) Prolific Japanese director Ichikawa scored a bulls-eye with this beautifully stylized potboiler that took its cues from traditional Kabuki theatre. It's all ballasted by a terrific double performance from Kazuo Hasegawa both as the female-impersonator who has sworn vengeance for the death of his parents, and the raucous thief who helps him. The Addiction (Abel Ferrara, 1995) Ferrara's comic-horror vision of modern urban vampires is an underrated masterpiece, full- throatedly bizarre and offensive. The vampire takes blood from the innocent mortal and creates another vampire, condemned to an eternity of addiction and despair. Ferrara's mob movie The Funeral, released at the same time, had a similar vision of violence and humiliation.

The film’s screenplay, by Hanif Kureishi, was a landmark debut that received a BAFTA nomination and established Kureishi as a major screenwriting talent. The film became an international success and received wide critical acclaim. The film critic Roger Ebert reviewed the film on its US release and is reproduced here in an edited version.

  • Representations of Young Asian Women
    http://www.mediaculture-online.de Autorin: Manju Nair. Titel: Culture bending? – representations of young Asian women. Quelle: http://www.itpmag.demon.co.uk/Downloads/BendIt.pdf, Riddlesden, Keighley 2005,. P. 1-3. Verlag: itp (in the picture). Media Education Magazine. Published with kind permission of the publisher. Manju Nair Culture bending? – representations of young Asian women The decision to study Bend It Like Beckham (UK 2002) and Anita and Me (2002) was made following a class discussion about immigrant communities in our part of East London. GCSE Media students were ignorant of the facts behind their own cultural inheritance. We found that students were quite confused over the terms ‘culture’,’religion’ and ‘traditions.’ So this is where we began the study. Being Asian myself, I had a keen interest in studying and teaching texts which went some way towards representing (both negatively and positively) the Asian diaspora in film. Up to that point we had not studied any such texts which dealt with life as an immigrant/part of an ethnic minority in the UK and the release of these films was well timed.
