CESTRIANThe The official magazine of the University of Chester Alumni Association 2010 HOLLYWOODBOUND BAFTA award-winning screenwriter returns to University Introduction by Professor T J Wheeler DL Vice-Chancellor and Principal of the University of Chester, Chair of the University of Chester Alumni Associati on The last year has proven to be an excepti onally busy one for the University. We have had major Estates developments with the creati on of a Gallery and Tutors’ Block for the Faculty of Arts and Media at our Kingsway campus, numerous enhancements on the main campuses at Chester and Warrington. However, the major Estates development that has dominated the agenda for the University has been the purchase, alterati on and refurbishment of our Riverside campus, which was formerly County Hall for Cheshire, located on the banks of Dee within the Walls and the City centre. The overall cost of the scheme will be about £15 million, with capital support from the NWDA/ERDF, HEFCE and the University’s funds. This massively impressive building will be the home for the Faculti es of Educati on and Children’s Services and Health and Social Care. In total, some 2,000 students will occupy the new campus from 1 September, with over 150 staff , including the University’s Marketi ng, Recruitment and Admissions Department and Business Development teams, being based there. Universiti es are more than bricks and mortar; they are about people, especially our students and the staff that support them. There have been so many initi ati ves that have been pursued by individual members of staff and students that it is impossible to pay tribute to them all, however, the University was delighted that its alumni garden received such prominent What’s inside recogniti on at the Royal Horti cultural Show at Tatt on. -
Presents a Film by Michael Winterbottom 104 Mins, UK, 2019
Presents GREED A film by Michael Winterbottom 104 mins, UK, 2019 Language: English Distribution Publicity Mongrel Media Inc Bonne Smith 217 – 136 Geary Ave Star PR Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M6H 4H1 Tel: 416-488-4436 Tel: 416-516-9775 Fax: 416-516-0651 Twitter: @starpr2 E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] www.mongrelmedia.com Synopsis GREED tells the story of self-made British billionaire Sir Richard McCreadie (Steve Coogan), whose retail empire is in crisis. For 30 years he has ruled the world of retail fashion – bringing the high street to the catwalk and the catwalk to the high street – but after a damaging public inquiry, his image is tarnished. To save his reputation, he decides to bounce back with a highly publicized and extravagant party celebrating his 60th birthday on the Greek island of Mykonos. A satire on the grotesque inequality of wealth in the fashion industry, the film sees McCreadie’s rise and fall through the eyes of his biographer, Nick (David Mitchell).

Masculinity, Memory and the 1980S in British Cinema, 2005 – 2010
The History Boys? : Masculinity, Memory and the 1980s in British Cinema, 2005 – 2010 Andy Pope The thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Portsmouth School of Media and Performing Arts – University of Portsmouth May 2015 Abstract This study will consider the function of cinema in British society’s ongoing relationship with the 1980s. Its focus on a key period of recent British film history acknowledges popular culture’s flourishing identification with this decade, reflected through a number of media including literature, music and fashion. I argue that with seventeen films set in the 1980s and produced between 2005 and 2010, British cinema is at the centre of this retrospective, providing a unique perspective on our relationship with the era. But what are the determinants of this mediated reminiscence and what does it say about the function of cinema in rendering the past? I contend that a key aspect of this channelling of popular and personal memory is the role of the writer and director. Nearly all male and mostly middle- aged, the films’ creative agents present narratives that foreground young male protagonists and specifically masculine themes. These thematic concerns, including patriarchal absence and homosocial groups, whilst anchored in the concerns of their 1980s socio-political landscape also highlight a contemporary need for the films’ authors to connect to a personal past. Through reference to sociological, cinematic and political discourse, amongst others, this study will also consider the role of memory in these films. It will contend that the films present a complex perspective of the 1980s, highlighting an ambivalent relationship with the period that transcends nostalgia. -
1 Original Climax Films: Historicising the British Hardcore Pornography Film Business
Original Climax Films: Historicising the British Hardcore Pornography Film Business Oliver Carter, Birmingham Centre for Media and Cultural Research, Birmingham City University. [email protected] www.alteconomies.com Biography Dr. Oliver Carter is a senior lecturer in media and cultural theory at the Birmingham Centre for Media and Cultural Research, Birmingham City University. His research focuses on alternative economies of cultural production; informal forms of industry that are often removed from a formal cultural industries discourse. He is the author of the forthcoming monograph Making European Cult Cinema: Fan Enterprise in an Alternative Economy, published in 2018 by Amsterdam University Press. He is currently working on his latest book, which investigates the development of the British hardcore pornography business. The research for this publication informs the forthcoming documentary Hardcore Guaranteed: The Mike Freeman Story (Simon Fletcher 2018). You can out more about Oliver’s work by visiting www.alteconomies.com. 1 Original Climax Films: Historicising the British Hardcore Pornography Film Business This article presents findings from my research into the British hardcore pornography business. Porn studies has given little coverage to the British pornography business, with much of the academic literature focusing on the American adult entertainment industry. Recently, there has been a rising interest in the historical framework of porn cinemas in both popular culture, and in academic work. This article contributes to this debate, taking both a cultural and economic approach to explore the conditions that led to the emergence of British hardcore production as an alternative economy in the 1960s. In this economy entrepreneurs make use of new technologies to produce artefacts that are exchanged for an economic benefit, while circumventing laws to distribute their artefacts. -

It argues that the biopic is a necessary category because producers, reviewers and cinemagoers have significant investments in biographical subjects, and because biopics construct a ‘public history’ for a broad audience. -

Heresy Returns for a Ninth Series on Bbc Radio 4
HERESY RETURNS FOR A NINTH SERIES ON BBC RADIO 4 VICTORIA COREN-MITCHELL returns to BBC Radio 4 this spring to present a brand new series of Heresy which sees popular prejudices overthrown and received opinions ruthlessly examined. The new six-part series will air from 16th May 2013. Each week VICTORIA will be joined by a panel drawn from Britain’s wittiest and most outspoken broadcasters, comedians, writers and performers as they discuss everyday assumptions we all take for granted, mixing verbal dexterity with irreverent humour. Topics from the worlds of news, sport, popular culture, politics and the arts are all potential targets for the full Heresy treatment. Episode one of the new series sees the panel of esteemed guests – LEE MACK, GERMAINE GREER and DAVID SCHNEIDER, discussing whether tennis ace Andy Murray is a lot more likable than he used to be, is maths a more worthwhile subject than media studies and are foxes a pest. Future episodes cover topics such as whether there should be horsemeat in a beef lasagne, whether video games should be an Olympic sport and are voyages to Mars a credit to human endeavour. Show creator and former host, DAVID BADDIEL will be one of VICTORIA’s guests during the series, while other heretics lined up include: DAVID MITCHELL, SUE PERKINS, GILES COREN, ALEX HORNE, RICHARD OSMAN, MILES JUPP, BRIDGET CHRISTIE and MARK STEEL.

In this latter-day King Midas story, Raymond becomes one of the richest men in Britain- at the cost of losing those closest to him. SYNOPSIS Michael Winterbottom’s “THE LOOK OF LOVE” stars Steve Coogan (24 Hour Party People, The Trip) in the true-life story of Paul Raymond, the man behind Soho’s norotious Raymond Revue Bar and Men Only magazine. Paul Raymond began his professional life with an end of the pier mind0reading act. He soon realized that the audience were more interested in watching his beautiful assistance, and that they liked it even more if she was topless. He quickly became one of Britain’s leading nude revue producers. In 1958 he opened his revue Bar in Soho, the heart of London’s West End. As it was a private club, the nudes were allowed to move. A huge success, it became the cornerstone of a Soho empire, prompting the Sunday Times in 1992 to crown him the richest man in Britain.
