MS41 Sir Kenneth Branagh MS41 Branagh Collection About the collection: Background: The Sir Kenneth Branagh Archive originated in a substantial bequest to Queen's University from Sir Kenneth Branagh in 2000. The original bequests have been supplemented by donations from other sources, including commercial bodies (such as Naxos), charitable organisations (such as the Ulster Association of Youth Drama) and individuals (such as Mark Thornton Burnett, Sarah Hatchuel and Jude Tessel). Overview: The Archive consists of material relating to the professional life and work of Sir Kenneth Branagh. It is largely made up of paper documents (many are photocopies), but also holds recordings and merchandise related to individual productions. Original items (i.e. not photocopies) are marked as such in the listing. The Branagh Archive is an open collection, so periodically items will be added – from 2006 onwards the date items were added is noted. Arrangement: The material is arranged in 7 main headings: Theatre, Television, Film, Radio/Audio, General, Recordings and Oversized Material. Where material relating to a production allows, it is arranged by the type of material: Production Material, Publicity Material, Press/Reviews/Criticism, Publications and Merchandise. The General heading lists material which does not relate to any specific production (i.e. profiles and general biographical material). It also includes material relating to organisations with which Sir Kenneth Branagh is associated (Shakespeare Birthplace Trust and the Ulster Youth Theatre). The Recordings heading lists official releases of films, television work and radio, but also unofficial copies. In addition, it also contains recordings of television and radio interviews with Sir Kenneth Branagh. Finally, the Oversized Material heading lists materials which for reason of storage are held together. Strengths: The holdings relating to Branagh’s films as director/writer (Henry V, Dead Again, Peter’s Friends, Much Ado About Nothing, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, In The Bleak Midwinter, Othello, Hamlet and Love’s Labour’s Lost) contain very comprehensive press and critical reaction. For some of these productions the archive also holds detailed production information (storyboards, scripts etc.). The archive spans 25m of shelves and fills over 30 archive boxes. It represents an unparalleled collection relating to the work of Sir Kenneth Branagh. This listing was originally compiled by Clare McVeigh. It was updated and revised by Diarmuid Kennedy in 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010 & 2011. (DK 15/12/2011) It was updated and revised in 2018 by Conor Kerr. 1 MS41 Outline MS41/1 Theatre p. 3 MS41/2 Television p. 10 MS41/3 Film p. 13 MS41/4 Radio and Audio p. 35 MS41/5 General p. 37 MS41/6 Recordings p. 42 MS41/7 Oversized Material p. 58 2 MS41/1 Theatre MS41/1/1aa Oh!

Dictionary definition of “Something that prevents someone from giving their attention to something else” “An activity that you do for pleasure” COVID-19 has affected us all in very different ways, but the common adjustment we have all had to make is that of self-isolation and how we each deal with that varies enormously. Some are finding it easy to distance themselves from others, whilst others are finding isolation difficult. We are all responsible for making sure not only we, but others, are kept safe from infection and the only way to do that is to stay where you live and avoid close contact with others. These Distraction Packs offer a variety of quizzes, activities and reading material to help distract you during the long periods of time spent alone. We hope you enjoy them. The answers are given at the back, so if you don’t want to know what they are, don’t look beyond page 29! We wish you all a Happy Christmas and a safe and healthy new year. Having supported older individuals with convictions (in prisons and the community) for over ten years, RECOOP, part of the BCHA family, recognises the importance of keeping active, both physically and mentally.

Awarded annually in the Gift of the Academy, the Fellowship is the highest accolade bestowed upon an individual in recognition of an outstanding and exceptional contribution to film. The Award was presented by Lord Attenborough, the Academy’s President. Previously honoured Fellows include Charlie Chaplin, Alfred Hitchcock, Steven Spielberg, Sean Connery, Elizabeth Taylor, Julie Christie, John Barry, Stanley Kubrick and Judi Dench. Finola Dwyer, Chair of BAFTA’s Film Committee, said: “I am absolutely delighted that the Academy has presented this award to Anthony Hopkins. Anthony is one of the UK’s most loved and admired performers and his contribution to the film industry, both in the UK and abroad, is unrivalled”. In a career spanning five decades, Anthony has become one of the most respected actors of his generation, with his talent recognised by the Academies on both sides of the Atlantic. During his career he has received four BAFTA nominations and won for his performances in The Remains of the Day (1993) and The Silence of the Lambs (1991). He has also received four Oscar nominations and won for his legendary performance as Hannibal Lecter. A Welsh College of Music & Drama graduate, Anthony completed two years mandatory military training before joining Laurence Oliver’s National Theatre at the Old Vic.

This relationship has also informed superhero comics themselves – going all the way back to Superman’s debut in Action Comics 1 (June 1938). As DC President Paul Levitz says of the development of the superhero: ‘There was an enormous desire to see social justice, a rectifying of corruption. Superman was a fulfillment of a pent-up passion for the heroic solution’ (quoted in Poniewozik 2002: 57).

  • Cambridge Companion Shakespeare on Film
    This page intentionally left blank Film adaptations of Shakespeare’s plays are increasingly popular and now figure prominently in the study of his work and its reception. This lively Companion is a collection of critical and historical essays on the films adapted from, and inspired by, Shakespeare’s plays. An international team of leading scholars discuss Shakespearean films from a variety of perspectives:as works of art in their own right; as products of the international movie industry; in terms of cinematic and theatrical genres; and as the work of particular directors from Laurence Olivier and Orson Welles to Franco Zeffirelli and Kenneth Branagh. They also consider specific issues such as the portrayal of Shakespeare’s women and the supernatural. The emphasis is on feature films for cinema, rather than television, with strong cov- erage of Hamlet, Richard III, Macbeth, King Lear and Romeo and Juliet. A guide to further reading and a useful filmography are also provided. Russell Jackson is Reader in Shakespeare Studies and Deputy Director of the Shakespeare Institute, University of Birmingham. He has worked as a textual adviser on several feature films including Shakespeare in Love and Kenneth Branagh’s Henry V, Much Ado About Nothing, Hamlet and Love’s Labour’s Lost. He is co-editor of Shakespeare: An Illustrated Stage History (1996) and two volumes in the Players of Shakespeare series. He has also edited Oscar Wilde’s plays.

  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.

Der Film basiert auf den Tagebüchern des Filmemachers Colin Clark, welche 40 Jahre nach den Ereignissen veröffentlicht wurden. In der ersten Fassung dieser Autobiografie fehlte eine Woche. Die Geschichte dieser Woche wurde später unter dem Titel MY WEEK WITH MARILYN publiziert und nun endlich verfilmt.
