Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold! Bring me my chariot of fire! I will not cease from mental fight, Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand, Till we have built Jerusalem In England's green and pleasant land. ADDRESS ‘The Final Test’ SIR RONALD HARWOOD, CBE 2 HYMN I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above, Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love: The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test, That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best; The love that never falters, the love that pays the price, The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.

  • Cinema Ritrovato Di Gian Luca Farinelli, Vittorio Martinelli, Nicola Mazzanti, Mark-Paul Meyer, Ruud Visschedijk
    Cinema Ritrovato di Gian Luca Farinelli, Vittorio Martinelli, Nicola Mazzanti, Mark-Paul Meyer, Ruud Visschedijk Iniziamo dalla foto che abbiamo scelto per il manifesto, perché è un’immagine rivelatrice dell’identità di questo festival. Ad un primo sguardo non suscita un interesse particolare. È la foto di scena di un film qualsiasi prodotto in un periodo in cui di cinema se ne faceva tanto, un’immagine come tante. Però se la guardiamo meglio vediamo che al centro della foto c’è uno dei grandi attori del cinema italiano, Aldo Fabrizi, il Don Pietro di Roma città aperta, alle prese con la giustizia. Ci accorgiamo anche che il set è il lato sud di Piazza Maggiore; si scorgono il Palazzo del Podestà, San Petronio, il Nettuno, Palazzo de’ Banchi. L’immagine inizia a intrigarci. Siccome il cinema italiano è da sempre fortemente romano, pochissimi sono stati i film girati a Bologna, almeno sino agli anni ’60. Ecco perché Hanno rubato un tram, il film da cui abbiamo sottratto quest’immagine, è una vera scoperta che ci giunge dal passato. Nonostante si tratti di una piccola produzione, di un film modesto, di cui all’epoca nessuno si accorse, poterlo vedere oggi è un’esperienza straordinaria perché ci porta nella Bologna di quarantasei anni fa e ci fa sentire tutta la distanza del tempo, le dimensioni della trasformazione, l’ampiezza dei cambiamenti, esperienza tanto più forte perché si tratta di immagini inaspettate di un film dimenticabile, che nessuno vedeva più da decenni. Il film è anche un curioso incontro tra generazioni diverse del cinema italiano.

  • Women in Transit – Notes
    ‘Moving Back to “Home” and “Nation:” Women Dramatists, 1938-1945’ Rebecca D’Monté At the height of the Battle of Britain in August 1940, Winston Churchill commended the RAF, but also rallied the nation, by stating that ‘This is a war of the unknown warriors….The whole of the warring nations are engaged, not only soldiers, but the entire population, men, women and children. The fronts are everywhere. The trenches are dug in the towns and streets.’ (Calder 1969: 17). Implicit within this was the way the Second World War brought about a greater blurring of the political and domestic spheres than ever before, with men, women and children involved in what became known as the ‘People’s War.’ This was stressed in the media of the time, with radio, advertising, magazines, films, and plays, all working to boost the country’s morale through depictions of national and personal heroism, social cohesion, and domestic bliss. Commentators such as Angus Calder and Alan Sinfield have argued that this mythopoesis hid the evidence of what happened when war broke away from its previous parameters of front line/home front. In relation to this, Judy Giles has recorded a series of further oppositional forces, which had implications for the positioning and representation of women during and after the War: ‘home/away (journey or voyage), stasis/movement, everyday/exceptional, private/public, traditional/modern, dependence/independence, feminine/masculine’ (Giles 2004: 141). It is possible to identify two forms of female ‘transit’ here. Women’s geographical movement can be described as ‘centrifugal’ as they travelled away from familiar, secure centres; a journey depicted, for example, in the films Millions Like Us and The Gentle Sex (both 1943), posters for female Service workers, and Laura Knight’s paintings.

  • Filming Feminist Frontiers/Frontier Feminisms 1979-1993
    FILMING FEMINIST FRONTIERS/FRONTIER FEMINISMS 1979-1993 KATHLEEN CUMMINS A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN WOMEN’S, FEMINIST AND GENDER STUDIES YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO November 2014 © Kathleen Cummins, 2014 ii ABSTRACT Filming Feminist Frontiers/Frontier Feminisms is a transnational qualitative study that examines ten landmark feature films directed by women that re-imagined the frontiers of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the U.S through a feminist lens. As feminist feature films they countered Eurocentric and masculinist myths of white settlement and expansionism in the grand narrative tradition. Produced between 1979 and 1993, these films reflect many of the key debates that animated feminist scholarship between 1970 and 1990. Frontier spaces are re-imagined as places where feminist identities can be forged outside white settler patriarchal constructs, debunking frontier myths embedded in frontier historiography and the Western. A central way these filmmakers debunked frontier myths was to push the boundaries of what constitutes a frontier. Despite their common aim to demystify dominant frontier myths, these films do not collectively form a coherent or monolithic feminist revisionist frontier. Instead, this body of work reflects and is marked by difference, although not in regard to nation or time periods. Rather the differences that emerge across this body of work reflect the differences within feminism itself. As a means of understanding these differences, this study examines these films through four central themes that were at the centre of feminist debates during the 1970s, 80s, and 90s.

    Adaptable Terence Rattigan: Separate Tables, separate entities? dominic shellard T R’ has essentially been that of a theatre writer, and a conservative one, who is supposed to have avoided the darker themes that invaded the British stage after (roughly) the arrival of Look Back in Anger in 1956. This view of Rattigan is by now surely on its way out. His relation to the theatre and the so-called New Wave is undoubtedly more complex. However, his track record as a screenwriter, sometimes but not always adapting his own plays, should not be forgotten. In 1939 we have French Without Tears, then Quiet Wedding (1940), The Day Will Dawn (1942), Uncensored (1942), English Without Tears (1944), Journey Together (1945), The Way to the Stars (1945), While the Sun Shines (1947), Brighton Rock (1947, from Greene’s novel), Bond Street (1948), and then a wonderful version of his own play The Winslow Boy (1948). In the 1950s he wrote The Browning Version (1951), The Sound Barrier (1952), The Final Test (1953), then disappointingly The Man Who Loved Redheads (1954), but trium- phantly another adaptation of his own play The Deep Blue Sea (1955). The Prince and the Showgirl (1957), starring Marilyn Monroe and Laurence Olivier, who also directed, is often seen as the end of his film career. (It was an unsatisfactory, though intermittently charming, tardy revival of his Festival of Britain stage play that celebrated nation and the Oliviers – Vivien Leigh had the Monroe role – called The Sleeping Prince.) But actually his last film was much more distinguished: Separate Tables (1959), an American adaptation by Rattigan himself – but see below – of his own play (or rather two one- acters) of the same name.
