  • Projecting the Nation: Constructions of Scotland in Film Since 1979
    Projecting the Nation: Constructions of Scotland in Film Since 1979 Emily Torricelli PhD University of York Theatre, Film and Television January 2016 Abstract This thesis examines questions of the continued significance of national cinemas and identities, focussing on the case of Scottish cinema. As a small, devolved nation with relative autonomy from the United Kingdom, Scotland presents an interesting case for how films are labelled with a national identity, as Scottish films can also often be understood in a British, European, and even global context. Rather than attempting to construct a working model of Scottish cinema based on representation or production context, I ask how films have been constructed as Scottish. I approach the concepts of Scotland and Scottish film as sets of meanings that are subject to change over time and in different contexts. This facilitates a perspective which asks in what ways Scotland and Scottishness is constructed in film. I examine how multiple identities are balanced in the filmic construction of Scotland first by considering how Scottish films—both those made in and which are about Scotland—from the early 1980s to the present construct Scottish identities. I will consider the way these films explored ‘traditional’ Scottish identities in the 1980s, Scottish masculinity in the 1990s, and Scottish identities based on ethnicity and gender in the 2000s and 2010s. Second, I look at how these films are received as Scottish by examining reviews and other press materials to determine how the Scottishness

  • Transnationalism and New Scottish Cinema Simon Brown, Kingston
    “Anywhere but Scotland?” Transnationalism and New Scottish Cinema1 Simon Brown, Kingston University Fifteen years on from the moment that Danny Boyle’s Trainspotting (1996) fulfilled the promise of his earlier Shallow Grave (1994) and helped to launch what has become known as New Scottish Cinema, the critical debates which have accompanied its development find themselves at a crossroads. Prompted in part by the New Scottish Cinema symposium, which took place in Ireland in 2005 and looked back over 20 years of Scottish film, key writers have begun to critically assess the arguments which have circulated and to refashion the debate for the future. Initial models focussing upon the influences of first American and then European cinema have proved themselves to be inflexible in locating New Scottish Cinema within a global cinema marketplace, and furthermore have privileged a certain type of film, influenced by European art cinema traditions, as being representative of Scottish cinema to the exclusion of other more commercial projects. Not only is this ironic considering the inherently commercial nature of both Trainspotting and Shallow Grave, but also it had led to a vision of Scottish film which is more European than Scottish; more international than national. Recent scholars have begun to address New Scottish Cinema through the concept of transnationalism and it is the aim of this article to consider transnationalism as a way forward for critical debates about New Scottish Cinema through a case study of two films, both shot in the same location, one of which has been widely discussed and fits the more traditional critical model, Ken Loach’s Sweet Sixteen (2002), and the other of which has been largely ignored and is much more mainstream in its ambitions and economic context, Dear Frankie (2005).

    BEN LEE: CATCH MY DISEASE A FILM BY AMIEL COURTIN-WILSON 2012 / Australia / English / Documentary 86 min / HD / 1.78 "...fun, frenzied, colorful doc Ben Lee: Catch My Disease..." WORLD SALES CONTACT 173 RICHARDSON STREET, BROOKLYN, NY 11222 +1.718.312.8210 WWW.VISITFILMS.COM PRODUCTION CONTACT: GHOST PICTURES 6/400 ST KILDA ROAD, ST KILDA, 3182 AUSTRALIA www.ghostfilm.net RICHARD LOWENSTEIN, [email protected] SYNOPSIS Logline: A playful yet profoundly intimate portrait of singer-songwriter Ben Lee, and a fascinating portrayal of celebrity. Short Synopsis: Charming, intelligent and iconoclastic, Ben Lee is an Australian singer-songwriter whose creative growth since his early adolescence has undergone almost relentless media scrutiny. This is a playful yet deeply intimate portrait of Lee, exploring his meteoric rise to pop stardom and the issues of celebrity and spirituality that arise when launched into the spotlight. Ex-girlfriend Claire Danes and long-time friends Jason Schwartzman, Michelle Williams, Mike D, Zooey Deschanel and Winona Ryder give insight to Lee’s almost impenetrable public persona, as well as to his private hopes and insecurities. Long Synopsis: One of Australian music’s most notorious self-styled icons, Ben Lee once said he had made the greatest Australian album of all time. Signed by a record company at 14 and having released seven solo albums in the sixteen years since, Ben Lee is loved by fans worldwide, while also famous for being, in the words of one of his peers, a ‘precocious little c…’. Ben Lee: Catch My Disease examines Ben Lee’s life as a unique Australian artist – from his angst ridden days as a punk fuelled thirteen year old, to his starring role in a feature film, to the recording of his sixth album in the United States.
