No longer a source of unreflective nostalgia for reactionaries, it is now being represented as a more nuanced entity that reflects the complexities of socialist society. The black and white narratives that shaped cultural memory of the GDR during the first fifteen years after the Wende have largely been replaced by more complicated tones of grey.

  • 108 Kansas History “Facing This Vast Hardness”: the Plains Landscape and the People Shaped by It in Recent Kansas/Plains Film
    Premiere of Dark Command, Lawrence, 1940. Courtesy of the Douglas County Historical Society, Watkins Museum of History, Lawrence, Kansas. Kansas History: A Journal of the Central Plains 38 (Summer 2015): 108–135 108 Kansas History “Facing This Vast Hardness”: The Plains Landscape and the People Shaped by It in Recent Kansas/Plains Film edited and introduced by Thomas Prasch ut the great fact was the land itself which seemed to overwhelm the little beginnings of human society that struggled in its sombre wastes. It was from facing this vast hardness that the boy’s mouth had become so “ bitter; because he felt that men were too weak to make any mark here, that the land wanted to be let alone, to preserve its own fierce strength, its peculiar, savage kind of beauty, its uninterrupted mournfulness” (Willa Cather, O Pioneers! [1913], p. 15): so the young boy Emil, looking out at twilight from the wagon that bears him backB to his homestead, sees the prairie landscape with which his family, like all the pioneers scattered in its vastness, must grapple. And in that contest between humanity and land, the land often triumphed, driving would-be settlers off, or into madness. Indeed, madness haunts the pages of Cather’s tale, from the quirks of “Crazy Ivar” to the insanity that leads Frank Shabata down the road to murder and prison. “Prairie madness”: the idea haunts the literature and memoirs of the early Great Plains settlers, returns with a vengeance during the Dust Bowl 1930s, and surfaces with striking regularity even in recent writing of and about the plains.

  • Oxford Lecture 1 - Final Master
    OXFORD LECTURE 1 - FINAL MASTER HOW TO GROW A CREATIVE BUSINESS BY ACCIDENT The legendarily bullish film director Alan Parker once adapted Shaw's famous dictum about the academic profession - "those who can, do. Those who can't teach." So far so familiar. And to many in this room, no doubt, so annoying. But he went on: "those who can't teach, teach gym. And those who can't teach gym, teach at film school." I appreciate that Oxford is not a film school, though it has a more distinguished record than any film school for supplying the talent that has fuelled the British film and TV industries for almost a century - on and off camera. Writers like Richard Curtis, who brought us 4 Weddings and a Funeral, Love Actually, The Vicar of Dibley and Blackadder; or The Full Monty and Slumdog Millionaire scribe Simon Beaufoy; directors of the diversity of Looking for Eric's Ken Loach and 24 Hour Party People's Michael Winterbottom; writer/directors like Monty Python's Terry Jones and the Thick of It's Armando Iannucci; actors and performers ranging from Hugh Grant to Rowan Atkinson; and broadcasting luminaries like the BBC's Director General Mark Thompson and News International's very own Rupert Murdoch. So, Oxford has been a pretty efficient film and TV school, without even trying. And perhaps that is Parker's point. Can what passes for creativity in film and TV ever really be taught? But here in my capacity as News International Visiting Professor of Broadcast Media (or if you prefer an acronym, NIVPOB - the final M is silent) I may be even further down Parker's food chain.

  • 2014 BAFTA Breakthrough Brits, in Partnership with Burberry
    2014 BAFTA Breakthrough Brits, in partnership with Burberry Jonathan Asser - Writer Jonathan Asser, 50, grew up in Tadmarton, Oxfordshire and now lives in Camden, north London. His first ever script became 2013’s powerful and visceral prison drama Starred Up. For the film, Asser was named Best British Newcomer award at the 2013 BFI London Film Festival and was nominated in Best Screenplay category at the British Independent Film Awards. The film drew on Asser’s own experience of working as a psychotherapist within the prison system, where he developed a new therapeutic way to help violent criminals called Shame/Violence Intervention. Asser said: “I feel proud to have been named as a BAFTA Breakthrough Brit. It feels like an honour and it’s also humbling to be associated with such a talented group of much younger people. It means a lot to me and to my future.” Mike Brett & Steve Jamison - Producer/Directors Mike Brett, 33, grew up in Haywards Heath, Sussex and now lives in Tufnell Park, north London. Steve Jamison, 33, grew up in Saddleworth, Greater Manchester and now lives in Hackney, east London. Brett and Jamison have taken a circuitous route into filmmaking, with past careers between them including teaching, journalism, advertising agency scriptwriting, and as an artist. In 2008 they set up their production company, Archer’s Mark. Their debut documentary feature, Next Goal Wins, about the American Samoan soccer team, reportedly the worst football team in the world, was released earlier this year to critical acclaim. As well as directing their own films, both factual and fictional, Brett and Jamison are also keen to support other new filmmakers with the production and release of their features.

  • A Review of New Historical Drama from the BBC
    Eras Edition 9, November 2007 – http://www.arts.monash.edu.au/eras ‘Time-warp Television’ – A review of new historical drama from the BBC: Life on Mars, created by Mathew Graham, Tony Jordan and Ashley Pharoah, BBC, 2006. Robin Hood, created by Foz Allan and Dominic Minghella, BBC, 2006. Torchwood, created by Russell T. Davies, BBC, 2006. Robin Hood in an anorak and touting an anti-war message? Costume drama in the gritty back streets of 1970s Manchester? Clearly this is not your father’s BBC. While there is still plenty of Austen and Dickens for the purist, the BBC, long the home of waistcoats, mutton chops and empire waists, has breathed some new life into the historical drama with two series that seem to engage as much with the way we respond to history as to the historical setting itself. A cult and critical hit, Life on Mars, follows Manchester Police Detective Sam Tyler (played by John Simm) who is ‘transported’ back to 1973 after being hit by a car. Used to being a Detective Chief Inspector with expensive digs, a well-cut suit, and police-work governed by political correctness and computers, Sam finds himself demoted, dressed in a leather jacket, living in a dingy room with a Murphy-bed, and working with DCI Gene Hunt. Hunt, played with joyful relish by Philip Glenister, is the very antithesis of modern policing. He is unabashedly racist, sexist, homophobic and not above bashing the uncooperative suspect mid-interview. All guts and reaction, he is the ying to Sam’s yang, as it becomes clear that DI Tyler has lost the ability to trust his instincts.
