In the past, however, the public has found it difficult to know what is available. There has been no central source of these materials or in- formation about them. The National Audiovisual Center was established in July 1969 in GSA's National Archives and Records Service. The Center helps Federal agen- ' ies with the control and distribution of their films. Also, the Center helps the public know what is available, and it handles the public's orders. We hope that users of this catalog will find that it readily fulfills its purpose. Should you wish to raise some question or make a suggestion about it, we will be pleased to hear from you. ROBERT L. KUNZIG Administrator of General Services PREFACE This is the first edition of the sales catalog for the National Audiovisual Center. It is an impressive collection of materials covering a wide range of knowledge and skills. As more and more Federally produced mate- rials are made available for purchase from the Center, the value of the catalog will increase, as will the scope and detail of subjects covered. The films and filmstrips listed in this catalog are Federal records, since they document the functions and operations of Federal agencies'. Even- tually some of the materials will become archiveswhen they are de- termined worthy of permanent preservation because of historical or other value. Aside from the materials listed in this sales catalog, the National Audio- visual Center maintains a large quantity of Federally produced audio- visual materials available for loan.Inquiriesabout such materials may be addressed to the Center. JAMES B. RHOADS Archivist of the United States 'The complete definition of Federal records is published in Title 44, U.S. Code, Section 3301.

    Unseen Horrors: the Unmade Films of Hammer

    Unseen Horrors: The Unmade Films of Hammer Thesis submitted by Kieran Foster In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy De Montfort University, March 2019 Abstract This doctoral thesis is an industrial study of Hammer Film Productions, focusing specifically on the period of 1955-2000, and foregrounding the company’s unmade projects as primary case studies throughout. It represents a significant academic intervention by being the first sustained industry study to primarily utilise unmade projects. The study uses these projects to examine the evolving production strategies of Hammer throughout this period, and to demonstrate the methodological benefits of utilising unmade case studies in production histories. Chapter 1 introduces the study, and sets out the scope, context and structure of the work. Chapter 2 reviews the relevant literature, considering unmade films relation to studies in adaptation, screenwriting, directing and producing, as well as existing works on Hammer Films. Chapter 3 begins the chronological study of Hammer, with the company attempting to capitalise on recent successes in the mid-1950s with three ambitious projects that ultimately failed to make it into production – Milton Subotsky’s Frankenstein, the would-be television series Tales of Frankenstein and Richard Matheson’s The Night Creatures. Chapter 4 examines Hammer’s attempt to revitalise one of its most reliable franchises – Dracula, in response to declining American interest in the company. Notably, with a project entitled Kali Devil Bride of Dracula. Chapter 5 examines the unmade project Nessie, and how it demonstrates Hammer’s shift in production strategy in the late 1970s, as it moved away from a reliance on American finance and towards a more internationalised, piece-meal approach to funding.

    Giorgio Monicelli

    Prefazione Trovo sempre difficile parlare del passato. I trent’anni spesi nell’industria cinematografica mi hanno insegnato a pianificare, creare e realizzare per il futuro. Per un produttore, sceneggiatore e regista, un film finito è qualcosa che deve essere giudicato dagli altri, lui lo ha esaminato infinite volte. Ogni film diventa il meglio che il materiale che lo ha prodotto era capace di dare. Quando è finito è solo una cosa del passato e quello che conta è solo il successivo... La selezione del materiale, lo sviluppo della sceneggiatura, la programmazione ed il budget. Il reperimento delle finanze, la scelta degli attori, dei tecnici, dell’equipaggiamento e quindi, quando tutto è pronto, bisogna superare il frenetico periodo delle riprese quando tutto deve fruttare al meglio ed ogni penny speso influenza il costo finale. E un lavoro creativo, frustrante, esilarante, ma sopra di tutto è un lavoro appagante. Alla fine viene il periodo più tranquillo di assestamento ed organizzazione di quanto fatto fino a quel momento, il mio periodo preferito. Il montaggio del materiale girato, i vari “proviamo a farlo così” per poi arrivare a quello che sembra essere il taglio migliore. Gli effetti sonori, la musica, il doppiaggio e finalmente la copia con il colore giusto, Il film è finito. Adesso mi si chiede specificatamente di guardare indietro per giudicare la vita della Hammer, dei 121 film che in qualche modo mi hanno visto protagonista, per affermare la loro importanza nella storia del cinema. Una cosa impossibile, almeno per me. Quando ripenso ad un certo film, rivedo immediatamente la gente che lo ha fatto, i posti dove è stato girato, i drammi ed i piaceri delle fasi di lavorazione.

James Henry "Jimmy" Kinmel Sangster (born December 2, 1927 in Kinmel Bay, Wales , † August 19, 2011 in London ) was a British director , screenwriter and writer , who was mainly through his manuscripts for the central horror film productions of Hammer Film Productions got known. contents. Sangster came to film in 1941 as a second camera assistant. From 1946 to 1954 he worked on numerous films (including for Ealing Studios ) as an assistant director, including no fewer than 29 B-productions for Hammer, before he was promoted to production manager . After the enormous success of the SF thriller Schock , in which he had worked with the second unit for a few nights , he sat with the hammer producers Anthony Hinds and Michael Carreras and discussed possible further science fiction plots. Thirty minutes later he was hired by Hinds as a screenwriter for XX unknown : "If we like it, we'll pay you. If we don't, tough shit. You're still on the payroll as a production manager so what have you got to lose. " With his manuscripts for the remakes of famous horror film classics such as Frankenstein's Curse , Dracula and The Revenge of the Pharaohs , which were staged by Terence Fisher , he was instrumental in the success story of the small British production company towards the end of the 1950s. Fisher paid him respect in the early 1970s. Regarding the great success of the Gothic horror film Frankenstein's Curse , he said: "The greatest credit ought to go to Jimmy Sangster, who wrote the scripts and managed to make the original story so cinematic".

FORUM ‘Fear and Terror’ 1 1 Notes on the Terror Film Keith Hennessey Brown (University of Edinburgh) Horror is, without question, among film's most enduring genres; audiences in search of thrills have been able to find a chiller to attend since the turn of the century. Even the studio of film pioneer Thomas Edison produced a 16-minute version of the Frankenstein story in 1910. The remarkable longevity of the genre does not, however, guarantee that a near century's worth of fans have all been lining up for the same motion picture show. (Lake Crane: 23) As Jonathan Lake Crane's perceptive comments indicate, the horror film is a remarkably resilient and adaptable film genre, one that has been able to meet the needs of successive generations of audiences in a way that others, like musicals and westerns, apparently have not, in the light of their declining production in recent decades.

    MICHAEL CARRERAS Biografia

    MICHAEL CARRERAS Biografia Nato a Londra il 21 dicembre 1927 comincia a lavorare con il padre James Carreras (poi sir) nel 1943 come contabile ed addetto ad incarichi vari della Hammer, la compagnia di produzione della famiglia. Finita la guerra, dopo aver prestato servizio nella Grenadier Guards nel 1946, partecipa alla fondazione della “nuova Hammer” nel 1947 diventando da allora produttore di alcuni dei film più importanti di quel periodo contribuendo in modo definitivo al successo dell’horror negli anni Cinquanta e Sessanta. Firma la sua prima regia con il cortometraggio Cyril Stapleton and the Show Band (1955) mentre il suo primo lungometraggio è The steel bayonet (1957). Il primo film diretto nel genere fantastico è Maniac (1963). All’inizio degli anni Sessanta abbandona la Hammer per creare la sua compagnia, la Capricorn, ma rientra all’ovile nel 1971 per diventare, l’anno dopo, presidente della Hammer sostituendo il padre. Lascia la compagnia, dopo trent’ anni, nel 1978. Come Henry Younger ha firmato diverse sceneggiature. Intervista condotta da Marco Zatterin al “While Elephant Club”, Mayfair, Londra il 12 febbraio 1986. E’ stata integrata con estratti da altre interviste concesse da Michael Carreras a ‘‘The Littie Shop of Horrors’’ e ‘‘Halls of Horror”. Lei ha cominciato a lavorare per la Hammer che era giovanissimo... Avevo poco più di sedici anni, c’era ancora la guerra. La Exclusive, la compagnia che mio nonno Henry aveva fondato una decina di anni prima, era solo una casa di distribuzione. Fui chiamato, così, per dare una mano a fare i conti e per coordinare l’attacchinaggio dei film che venivano dati alle sale.
