  • Professor Robert Beveridge FRSA, University of Sassari
    Culture, Tourism, Europe and External Relations Committee Scotland’s Screen Sector Written submission from Professor Robert Beveridge FRSA, University of Sassari 1. Introduction While it is important that the Scottish Parliament continues to investigate and monitor the state of the creative and screen industries in Scotland, the time has surely come for action rather than continued deliberation(s) The time has surely come when we need to stop having endless working parties and spending money on consultants trying to work out what to do. Remember the ‘Yes Minister’ Law of Inverse Relevance ‘ ‘The less you intend to do about something, the more you have to keep talking about it ‘ ‘Yes Minister’ Episode 1: Open Government Therefore, please note that we already know what to do. That is: 1.1 - Appoint the right people with the vision leadership and energy to succeed. 1.2 - Provide a positive legislative/strategic/policy framework for support. 1.3 - Provide better budgets and funding for investment and/or leverage for the same. (You already have access to the data on existing funding for projects and programmes of all kinds. If the Scottish Government wishes to help to improve performance in the screen sector, there will need to be a step change in investment. There is widespread agreement that more is needed.) 1.4 Give them space to get on with it. That is what happened with the National Theatre of Scotland. This is what happened with MG Alba. Both signal success stories. Do likewise with the Screen Industries in Scotland 2. Context Some ten years ago the Scottish Government established the Scottish Broadcasting Commission.

  • 1 Before London Started Swinging: Representing the British Beatniks David Buckingham This Essay Is Part of a Larger Project
    Before London started swinging: representing the British beatniks David Buckingham This essay is part of a larger project, Growing Up Modern: Childhood, Youth and Popular Culture Since 1945. More information about the project, and illustrated versions of all the essays can be found at: https://davidbuckingham.net/growing-up-modern/. In his autobiography, Personal Copy, the journalist and broadcaster Ray Gosling describes a feeling of imminent change that was shared by many young people at the very end of the 1950s: There was just this feeling… that we were important, that something was going to happen. How, and in what direction, we didn’t know. And we didn’t much care. It was a very, very, very odd feeling, but we felt it. Gosling himself came from a frugal working-class background in the provincial English city of Northampton. In 1959, he dropped out of university and set up a youth centre in Leicester that was run autonomously by a committee of young people. The academic Richard Hoggart – the author of The Uses of Literacy, who was soon to become the founding director of the Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies (CCCS) at Birmingham University – was on his management committee. Although Gosling’s youth centre collapsed, he developed the argument for youth-led welfare provision in a pamphlet for the Fabian Society; and he went on to build a career as a writer and public speaker, offering an insider’s perspective on the emerging youth culture of the time. He became associated with the New Left, and began to mix in the more cosmopolitan culture of London’s coffee bars, making friends with Stuart Hall (then the editor of the New Left Review) and the novelist Colin MacInnes, whom he described as his ‘mentor’.

  • Complete Film Noir
    COMPLETE FILM NOIR (1940 thru 1965) Page 1 of 18 CONSENSUS FILM NOIR (1940 thru 1959) (1960-1965) dThe idea for a COMPLETE FILM NOIR LIST came to me when I realized that I was “wearing out” a then recently purchased copy of the Film Noir Encyclopedia, 3rd edition. My initial plan was to make just a list of the titles listed in this reference so I could better plan my film noir viewing on AMC (American Movie Classics). Realizing that this plan was going to take some keyboard time, I thought of doing a search on the Internet Movie DataBase (here after referred to as the IMDB). By using the extended search with selected criteria, I could produce a list for importing to a text editor. Since that initial list was compiled almost twenty years ago, I have added additional reference sources, marked titles released on NTSC laserdisc and NTSC Region 1 DVD formats. When a close friend complained about the length of the list as it passed 600 titles, the idea of producing a subset list of CONSENSUS FILM NOIR was born. Several years ago, a DVD producer wrote me as follows: “I'd caution you not to put too much faith in the film noir guides, since it's not as if there's some Film Noir Licensing Board that reviews films and hands out Certificates of Authenticity. The authors of those books are just people, limited by their own knowledge of and access to films for review, so guidebooks on noir are naturally weighted towards the more readily available studio pictures, like Double Indemnity or Kiss Me Deadly or The Big Sleep, since the many low-budget B noirs from indie producers or overseas have mostly fallen into obscurity.” There is truth in what the producer says, but if writers of (film noir) guides haven’t seen the films, what chance does an ordinary enthusiast have.

Sharp also brought you the stunning boat chase through the canals of Amsterdam in Puppet on a Chain. Sharp, David Butler (Voyage of the Damned) and Murray Smith collaborated on the script. With Maclean's agreement, they changed the story from one about a film crew, to one about a NATO expedition plagued by strange occurrences while on a mission at Bear Island. Snell explained the change this way , "We liked the story line but felt another mm about film­ makers would be boring. After all, Day for Night really was the definitive movie about filmmaking. " There had been a few doubts expressed about the capabil­ ities of a Canadian crew after some earlier co-production fias­ cos, but Bear Island followed in the footsteps of Coup d'Etat (later renamed Power Play for all you hockey fans) proving that Canadians rank second to none in filmmaking expertise.

  • CHRISTOPHER LEE L’Attore Dietro La Maschera
    CHRISTOPHER LEE L’attore dietro la maschera Prima del Cinema Christopher Frank Carandini Lee nasce a Londra il 27maggio del 1922 da una famiglia che, da parte di madre, vanta origini italiane. Il padre, colonnello dell’esercito inglese, programma per il figlio una lunga carriera di studi che prende il via alla Summerfields Preparatory School, la stessa dove, in quel momento, sta studiando un’altro futuro attore, Patrick Macnee. Ma Christopher ha in mente delle idee diverse e, sebbene mostri una certa predilezione per le materie classiche, preferisce fare altro, recitare per esempio. A nove anni compie infatti la sua prima apparizione su un palcoscenico teatrale interpretando la parte di Cassio nei Giulio Cesare di William Shakespeare. Giunge quindi il momento del college e Lee viene mandato al Wellington che abbandonerà presto per lavorare come apprendista in un ufficio della City londinese. L’arrivo del secondo conflitto mondiale gli fa rompere gli indugi. Si arruola volontario nella Royal Air Force dove viene addestrato come pilota e spedito in basi strategiche, in Sud Africa e Rodesia. Dalla Raf passa in seguito ai servizi segreti dell’Intelligence Service nel comparto delle operazioni speciali. Poi, la guerra finisce e Lee, ventitreenne, si trova nell’Inghilterra della vittoria senza un lavoro e con un pensiero fisso, quello di recitare. Comincia allora a fare di tutto, il mimo, il ballerino, il cantante lirico, Peregrinando per gli studi, incontra produttori e registi che mortificano le sue ambizioni. Un manager abbastanza influente arriva ad apostrofarlo duramente, «non sarai mai un buon attore, sei troppo alto, Mi stupisce che ci sono agenti disposti a perdere tempo mandando in giro persone che come te».
