Distance and Contact Zones in the St Kilda Movies Philippe Laplace The pampered native of St Kilda may with reason refuse to change his situation; finding his amusement where his chief occupation lies, in the pursuit of sea fowl, that constitute at the same time his game, his luxury, and a considerable part of his wealth. Free from the reputed evils of law, physic, politics, and taxes; living under a patriarchal government, among a social circle of his relations; in a mild climate, without knowledge of a higher state of things; if he thinks not his island an Utopia, the pursuit of happiness is indeed a dream. (MacCulloch, 1819, pp. 29–30) 1 What I want to consider in this article is the way the Hebridean archipelago of St Kilda and its inhabitants were described in the only two fictional films ever made about life in these islands, in spite of a large number of documentaries.

  • The Comedy Unit, and a BBC Scotland Television Series, River City (BBC, 2002-Date)
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Glasgow Theses Service Creative Industries Policy and Practice: A Study of BBC Scotland and Scottish Screen Lynne Alison Hibberd BA (Hons), MPhil Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Glasgow Faculty of Arts and Humanities Centre for Cultural Policy Research Department of Theatre Film and Television Studies December 2008 © Lynne Alison Hibberd 2008 2 Abstract This thesis examines creative industries policy in film and television in Scotland. It explores the impact that different approaches to creative industries policy have on creative practice in two media industries, BBC Scotland and Scottish Screen, and reflects on how each of these bodies articulates its role as a „national‟ institution. BBC Scotland is the Scottish branch of the UK‟s largest public service broadcaster, while Scottish Screen exists on a far smaller scale, to serve the screen industries in Scotland. The thesis examines the role of BBC Scotland in sustaining the creative economy and contributing to the cultural life of Scotland. The study of Scottish Screen examines a key early aim of the agency, that of establishing a national film studio. The work investigates the connections between UK and Scottish levels of creative industries policy in light of the debates over the future of public service broadcasting and the Scottish Executive‟s cultural policy framework. The study outlines how ideas of cultural creativity and its economic significance have developed, charts how these ideas have affected policy debate, and explores the extent to which devolution has affected film and television policy.

This would have been impossible without the energetic cooperation of our staff, as well as the ungrudging help given by so many of our members. But we must not lose sight of the objective of all our endeavours - namely the complete overthrow of apartheid throughout Southern Africa. We have come a long way since the Anti-Apartheid Movement was started. Still, a lot remains to be done. My plea is that in all the work in which, of necessity, we constantly engage it is essential that we never lose sight of our primary objective.
