ANTHOLOGY FILM ARCHIVES OCTOBER – DECEMBER PRESS LISTINGS OCTOBER 2013 PRESS LISTINGS MIX NYC PRESENTS: Tommy Goetz A BRIDE FOR BRENDA 1969, 62 min, 35mm MIX NYC, the producer of the NY Queer Experimental Film Festival, presents a special screening of sexploitation oddity A BRIDE FOR BRENDA, a lesbian-themed grindhouse cheapie set against the now-tantalizing backdrop of late-60s Manhattan. Shot in Central Park, Times Square, the Village, and elsewhere, A BRIDE FOR BRENDA narrates (quite literally – the story is told via female-voiced omniscient narration rather than dialogue) the experiences of NYC-neophyte Brenda as she moves into an apartment with Millie and Jane. These apparently unremarkable roommates soon prove themselves to be flesh-hungry lesbians, spying on Brenda as she undresses, attempting to seduce her, and making her forget all about her paramour Nick (and his partners in masculinity). As the narrator intones, “Once a young girl has been loved by a lesbian, it’s difficult to feel satisfaction from a man again.” –Thurs, Oct 3 at 7:30. TAYLOR MEAD MEMORIAL SCREENING Who didn’t love Taylor Mead? Irrepressible and irreverent, made of silly putty yet always sharp- witted, he was an underground icon in the Lower East Side and around the world. While THE FLOWER THIEF put him on the map, and Andy Warhol lifted him to Superstardom, Taylor truly made his mark in the incredibly vast array of films and videos he made with notables and nobodies alike. A poster child of the beat era, Mead was a scene-stealer who was equally vibrant on screen, on stage, or in a café reading his hilarious, aphoristic poetry. -

HG Wells and the Metaphysics of Socialism

Pragmatism and Prophecy: H. G. Wells and the Metaphysics of Socialism Duncan Bell (University of Cambridge) All the great and important beliefs by which life is guided and determined are less of the nature of fact than of artistic expression. H. G. Wells, First and Last Things Introduction H. G. Wells (1866-1946) was one of the most famous political thinkers in the early twentieth century Anglophone world. Having made a name for himself writing “scientific romances” during the 1890s, he turned to elaborating a bold and idiosyncratic socialist vision. To his admirers he was a prophet, divining the contours of the future with unparalleled insight. To his critics he was either a dangerous radical, intent on smashing the established order, or a dreamer of hopeless dreams. Wells, Bertrand Russell observed, was “one of those who made Socialism respectable in England,” and he had a “very considerable influence upon the generation that followed him” (1956, 79). Even George Orwell, a fierce critic, acknowledged his impact. “Thinking people who were born about the beginning of this century,” he wrote in 1941, “are in some sense Wells’s own creation,” and nobody writing in English in the first two decades of the century “influenced the young so much” (1970, 172). Wells advocated a vanguardist cosmopolitan socialism. It was cosmopolitan insofar as it aimed to replace the system of sovereign states and empires with a world-state. -

Creative Commons License The Land of the Future: British Accounts of the USA at the Turn of the Ninete... 1 The Land of the Future: British Accounts of the USA at the Turn of the Nineteenth Century David Seed 1 Ever since the declaration of independence a sustained and complex dialogue took place between British and American writers. What Sylvia Strauss calls the “American Myth” of fresh, libertarian beginnings has persisted in debate throughout the nineteenth century (Strauss 66). Towards the end of that century anxieties began to grow in Britain over the emergence of the USA as a major economic power and as a player on the imperial world scene. At the turn of the nineteenth century an increasing number of works were published which Genevieve Abravanel has designated “Ameritopias,” meaning “texts that imagine the future through America.” These works for her represent an important part of a broader attempt to “rethink nation and empire.” (Abravanel 25) Although Abravanel’s coinage carries implications of utopian celebration which is by no means a standard feature of turn-of-the-century writing, both commentators have rightly recognized that speculations on possible futures repeatedly included the USA in their scenarios as a major driving force for change. -
AFTER ANN VERONICA: the ENIGMA of 'LITTLE E': FACT OR FICTION? Jennifer Walker Wells Presented His Love Affair with the Auth
AFTER ANN VERONICA: THE ENIGMA OF ‘LITTLE E’: FACT OR FICTION? Jennifer Walker Wells presented his love affair with the author known as Elizabeth von Arnim as ‘The Episode of Little e’.1 It was a good title, and it made a good story. His account was written in the 1930s and formed one of a series of essays written as a postscript to his Experiment in Autobiography.2 These revelations about his relationships with women and his sexual nature were deemed too sensitive for publication in his lifetime. Edited by his son, G. P. Wells, they eventually appeared under his title of H. G. Wells in Love (1984). By this time, the women concerned were no longer in a position tell their own versions, which may have been very different. ‘The Episode of Little e’ reveals more about Wells, his character and his creative impulse than about Elizabeth herself, or even his relationship with her.3 Diminutive though she may have been in stature, Elizabeth could never be considered as ‘little’ in personality or intellectual ability. By referring to her diaries, letters and known biographical details another picture begins to emerge, one which sheds light on Wells’s writing and his personality. Elizabeth met Wells in 1907 at the Lyceum Club in London, a couple of years before the publication of Ann Veronica.4 At the time of their first meeting, Elizabeth’s looks belied her age. She and Wells were exact contemporaries, both forty-one years old. She was petite, cultured and intelligent, and despite being the mother of five children, was still youthful in appearance, attractive and vivacious. -

H. G. WELLS: EDUCATIONIST by F. H. DOUGHTY JONATHAN CAPE ' 30 BEDFORD SQUARE H. G. WELLS: EDUCA TIO:\lST GENERAL survey of the lines along which Mr. Wells' educational ideas have Ade,·eloped, and a criticism of these ideas. Mr. Wells has always regarded education in the broadest light-never as a narrow ae~demic or scholastic afFair, but as a process that touches life at all points. Education in this wider aspect has, therefore, assumed so great an importance in his work as a whole, that a survey such as this amounts to a more or less complete review of his philosophy. While therefore, the book appeals first to the _ edue~tionist, it is also of value for the general · reader, particularly those who regard. Mr. Wells as one of the most signi6e~nt fi2ures in modern literature. H. G. WELLS: EDUCATIONIST By the Same Author * EDUCATION AND THE SPIRIT Ho Go WELL§ EDUCATIONIST by F. H.

Twentieth Century Futures Thinking: from Amateurs to Experts
Twentieth Century Futures Thinking: From Amateurs to Experts I F Clarke In 1901, for the first time in human history, a new century opened with both an enthusiastic tribute to the unprecedented achievements of the past and highly optimistic expectations of the good things still in store for the major Western technological societies. Right on cue the self-appointed prophet laureate of the new age, H G Wells, looked into the future and gave the readers of the Fortnightly Review (April- December 1901) his account of tomorrow's world in the monthly instalments of 'Anticipations: An experiment in prophecy'. He opened the first paragraph with a show of omniscience. There had been nothing of consequence in the history of futures literature before H G Wells. He believed that 'Hitherto such forecasts have been presented almost invariably in the form of fiction.' He added a footnote to say that: 'Of quite serious forecasts and inductions of things to come, the number is very small indeed' (p. 93). Had Wells spent a week or two in researching his chosen field, he would have found that indications of 'things to come' began in the first decade of the nineteenth century: they grew in numbers from the 1820s onwards in parallel with the steady expansion of the new middle-class journals and reviews, and they reached their first main stage of development during the last thirty years of the century. Those final decades saw a constant increase in the number of articles by professional people such as army and navy officers, social scientists, statisticians, engineers and industrialists, all earnestly engaged in setting out their thoughts on coming developments in their chosen fields.
