MANCHESTER LITERATURE FESTIVAL 2015 12—25 October MANCHESTER LITERATURE FESTIVAL 2015 12—25 OctoBer Principal Sponsor Welcome Manchester Literature Festival is ten years young this year and like most ten year olds we are super excited about our birthday celebrations. We’ve put together an extra special bumper edition, inviting back many of our favourite writers from the past decade and hand-picking some of the most gifted emerging storytellers, destined to make big literary waves in the coming decade. Melvyn Bragg and Robert Harris explore power, politics and humanity through the lens of history, whilst Margaret Atwood and Sarah Hall present disturbing visions of the future in their new novels. Paul Mason discusses what a post-capitalist world might look like and, in our new literature and landscape strand of events, writers reflect on our relationship with nature and the earth. Elif Shafak delivers this year’s Gaeia Manchester Sermon and Joanne Harris presents a specially commissioned Writer’s Manifesto. We bring words and music together through some unique collaborations with manchester jazz festival and Manchester Camerata, and singer songwriter Kathryn Williams performs songs from her new album Hypoxia inspired by Syliva Plath. In much anticipated literary re-imaginings, Anthony Horowitz introduces us to his new James Bond novel Trigger Mortis and Jeanette Winterson launches her retelling of Shakespeare’s A Winters’ Tale. We explore the legacy of literary icons Saul Bellow, John le Carré, George Eliot, Elizabeth Gaskell and WB Yeats; and champion pioneering women Eleanor Marx, Sophia Duleep Singh and Virginia Woolf. Our ever popular literary tours explore the haunts of Manchester’s literati, and allow you to enter the pages of much loved novels Love on the Dole and Wuthering Heights. Former Children's Laureate Michael Rosen performs a selection of favourite poems at a special event for schools. We present some inspirational theatrical adaptations of children's picture books, and there will be lots of fun activities for children at our Family Reading Day. From crime fiction to performance poetry and radical women to the future of the planet there’s something to capture everyone's imagination. Please join us for an unfogettable party of words and ideas. Cathy Bolton & Sarah-Jane Roberts Festival Co-directors Foreword We are delighted to continue our support of literature across the UK through our sponsorship of Manchester Literature Festival 2015. By bringing together people from around the world and providing a platform for the exchange of views and ideas, the Festival uses literature as a way of opening up opportunities, making connections and stimulating debate across borders. As the Festival celebrates its 10th anniversary, its dynamic growth is testament to its engaging and inspirational programme, which this year includes a series of World Literature events celebrating writers and thinkers from across the globe. The Festival’s international strand reflects HSBC's own commitment over the past 150 years to encouraging the exchange of ideas across different cultures as a way of strengthening international relationships.

  • THE STRANGER Dock10 Has Completed Post Production of the Stranger, an 8 X 60 Minute 4K HDR Drama Series for RED Production Company Commissioned by Netflix Originals
    DOCK10 COMPLETES POST PRODUCTION OF RED PRODUCTION COMPANY’S 4K NETFLIX THRILLER THE STRANGER dock10 has completed post production of The Stranger, an 8 x 60 minute 4K HDR drama series for RED Production Company commissioned by Netflix Originals. dock10 provided Manchester’s first end-to-end post production for a Netflix Original scripted series for The Stranger being made by Red Production Company. Post Production, from initial planning stages and ingest of dailies to delivery of the final, finished episodes to Netflix, for this 8 x 60-minute 4K HDR drama, based on Harlan Coben’s novel and written by Danny Brocklehurst, and starring Richard Armitage, Siobhan Finneran, Jennifer Saunders, Anthony Head and Hannah John-Kamen, was completed over the course of almost a year at dock10’s facilities in MediaCityUK – the first Netflix Original scripted project to be wholly post produced in Manchester. Alongside the series post production, dock10’s VFX team created over 350 individual VFX shots spanning green screen, digital matte painting, CG set extensions, destruction effects, digital stunt work, digital art direction and digital make up. Several key scenes for this series relied on our VFX team for the recreation and destruction of an existing Liverpool street location. To achieve this, the VFX team used extensive photographic references to accurately recreate the street, with principle photography taking place on the studio back lot using a section of replica housing against a green screen. Working closely with the director, director of photography and production designer, these scenes were previsualised in CG, at full scale, both to help in creating the sequences and also to provide the dimensions and distances of the green screen needed by the construction department.

  • Unitarian Members of Parliament in the Nineteenth Century
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Stirling Online Research Repository Unitarian Members of Parliament in the Nineteenth Century A Catalogue D. W. Bebbington Professor of History, University of Stirling The catalogue that follows contains biographical data on the Unitarians who sat in the House of Commons during the nineteenth century. The main list, which includes ninety-seven MPs, is the body of evidence on which the paper on „Unitarian Members of Parliament in the Nineteenth Century‟ is based. The paper discusses the difficulty of identifying who should be treated as a Unitarian, the criterion chosen being that the individual appears to have been a practising adherent of the denomination at the time of his service in parliament. A supplementary list of supposed Unitarian MPs, which follows the main list, includes those who have sometimes been identified as Unitarians but who by this criterion were not and some who may have been affiliated to the denomination but who were probably not. The borderline is less sharp than might be wished, and, when further research has been done, a few in each list may need to be transferred to the other. Each entry contains information in roughly the same order. After the name appear the dates of birth and death and the period as an MP. Then a paragraph contains general biographical details drawn from the sources indicated at the end of the entry. A further paragraph discusses religious affiliation and activities. Unattributed quotations with dates are from Dod’s Parliamentary Companion, as presented in Who’s Who of British Members of Parliament.
