    KEN CLARKE - MY PROFESSIONAL AUTOBIOGRAPHY When I left junior school at the age of twelve my plastering career started at the well known building Arts & Craft Secondary School, ‘Christopher Wren’, and from this early age I was particularly interested in fibrous plastering. It was a known fact that, of a class of 16, two of the pupils, after four years of schooling, would start their training at a major film studio. I passed my GCE in Building Craft, Paintwork and Plasterwork (copy 1 attached) and was one of the lucky two to be chosen to start training at Shepperton Studios. This was my first achievement (copy 2 – letter of engagement, 9 June 1964, attached). I started Shepperton Studios in the plastering Dept on 22 June 1964 under conditions of a six-month probationary period and a further 4 and half years. During this five-year apprenticeship, I was to do through the block release system, eight weeks at work and two weeks at Art & Craft College ‘Lime Grove’. At the end of five years I was awarded my basic and final City and Guilds in plastering (basic June 1966 and final June 1968 – copies 3 and 4 attached). This was a big achievement for any young man – for me; it was the beginning of a big career. After my five years I was presented with one of the very last certificates of apprenticeship offered by the ‘Film Industry Training Apprenticeship Council’. Thus, my apprenticeship came to an end.

  • Buxom Monstrosity: Theatricality and the Ostentatious Body in Horror Film

    Buxom Monstrosity: Theatricality and the Ostentatious Body in Horror Film

    Buxom Monstrosity: Theatricality and the Ostentatious Body of the Horror Film André Loiselle Carleton University, 1125 Colonel By Drive Ottawa ON K1S 5B6 613.520.2600 + 8083 [email protected] Abstract The low-brow horror film is often criticized for indulging in the display of ‘some stupid killer chasing some big-breasted girl.'1 While this cliché is generally inaccurate, the presence of curvaceous young women in horror is common enough to have become a recognizable stereotype. Rather than merely claiming that they appear in horror films only to appeal to the sex-crazed teenage boys who apparently flock to see schlock, this article proposes that the voluptuous bodies that adorn much of horror cinema mirror the threateningly ostentatious physique of the monster in its subversive challenge against patriarchal normality. To make this argument, I consider first how the monster's impact on the audience results in great part from its theatricality. Subsequently, I discuss how the concept of theatricality and its various implications applies to the notion of buxom monstrosity. Using examples ranging from classics such as Terence Fisher's The Curse of the Werewolf (1961) to current releases like The Exorcist Chronicles (2013, Philip Gardiner), I show that buxom monstrosity, in all of its aberrantly captivating theatricality, epitomizes the paradox of patriarchy. The monstrously curvy body stands for the (un)containable feminine figure that hegemonic masculinity finds at once irresistible and repulsive; endearingly fragile and frighteningly potent. Keywords: Corporality of the female character in the horror film; Subversive bodies in horror; Theatricality of the monster. 1. Introduction: Horror's Big-Breasted Girl.

    Freddie Francis

    FREDDIE FRANCIS Biografia Nasce a Londra, nel 1917. Studia ingegneria e quindi comincia a scattare foto di scena sui set cinematografici. Nel 1936 riesce a farsi assumere dalla Gaumont come ragazzo tuttofare e quindi lavora in diversi studi fra i quali Stepperton ed Elstree. Rimane a Pinewood fino all’inizio della guerra come assistente cameramen per poi entrare nell’esercito nel reparto “Servizi Cinematografici”. Dopo la guerra ottiene il suo primo lavoro come cameraman in The Macomber Affair (1947) e quindi viene chiamato anche per Mine Own Executioner. Nel 1956 è direttore della fotografia nella seconda unità di Moby Dick, ruolo nel quale aveva già esordito l’anno prima con A Hill in Korea. Nel 1961 debutta alla regia con Two and Two make six e la sua prima edizione horror viene con Vengenace/The Brain. Nei tredici anni successivi firma la regia di 22 pellicole, quasi tutte del genere fantastico, molte delle quali per la Hammer e la Amicus. A metà anni Settanta decide di smettere di dirigere e si dedica soltanto alla fotografia. Cambia però idea nel 1985 ritornando alla regia con Doctor and the Devils. Ha vinto un Oscar per la migliore fotografia con Sons and Lovers. Intervista di Marco Zatterin a Freddie Francis realizzata nell’abitazione del regista a Isleworth, Londra, il 22 febbraio 1986. Ho letto spesso, in altre interviste che ha concesso, che a lei non piacciono i film dell’orrore. E vero? L’ho letto anch’io, ma si tratta di cattive interpretazioni di un mio pensiero. Molto semplicemente, io detesto fare sempre la stessa cosa e visto che non credo ci sia tanta altra gente che abbia diretto un numero così elevato di pellicole horror ho tutti i diritti di essermi stufato.
