  • From Real Time to Reel Time: the Films of John Schlesinger
    From Real Time to Reel Time: The Films of John Schlesinger A study of the change from objective realism to subjective reality in British cinema in the 1960s By Desmond Michael Fleming Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy November 2011 School of Culture and Communication Faculty of Arts The University of Melbourne Produced on Archival Quality Paper Declaration This is to certify that: (i) the thesis comprises only my original work towards the PhD, (ii) due acknowledgement has been made in the text to all other material used, (iii) the thesis is fewer than 100,000 words in length, exclusive of tables, maps, bibliographies and appendices. Abstract The 1960s was a period of change for the British cinema, as it was for so much else. The six feature films directed by John Schlesinger in that decade stand as an exemplar of what those changes were. They also demonstrate a fundamental change in the narrative form used by mainstream cinema. Through a close analysis of these films, A Kind of Loving, Billy Liar, Darling, Far From the Madding Crowd, Midnight Cowboy and Sunday Bloody Sunday, this thesis examines the changes as they took hold in mainstream cinema. In effect, the thesis establishes that the principal mode of narrative moved from one based on objective realism in the tradition of the documentary movement to one which took a subjective mode of narrative wherein the image on the screen, and the sounds attached, were not necessarily a record of the external world. The world of memory, the subjective world of the mind, became an integral part of the narrative.

  • Fred Tomlin (Boom Operator) 1908 - ? by Admin — Last Modified Jul 27, 2008 02:45 PM
    Fred Tomlin (boom operator) 1908 - ? by admin — last modified Jul 27, 2008 02:45 PM BIOGRAPHY: Fred Tomlin was born in 1908 in Hoxton, London, just around the corner from what became the Gainsborough Film Studios (Islington) in Poole Street. He first visited the studio as a child during the filming of Woman to Woman (1923). He entered the film industry as an electrician, working in a variety of studios including Wembley, Cricklewood and Islington. At Shepherd’s Bush studio he got his first experience as a boom operator, on I Was A Spy (1933). Tomlin claims that from that point until his retirement he was never out of work, but also that he was never under permanent contract to any studio, working instead on a freelance basis. During the 1930s he worked largely for Gaumont and Gainsborough on films such as The Constant Nymph (1933), Jew Suss (1934), My Old Dutch (1934), and on the Will Hay comedies, including Oh, Mr Porter (1937) and Windbag the Sailor (1936). During the war, Tomlin served in the army, and on his return continued to work as a boom operator on films and television (often alongside Leslie Hammond) until the mid 1970s. His credits include several films for Joseph Losey (on Boom (1968) and Secret Ceremony (1968)) and The Sea Gull (1968)for Sidney Lumet, as well as TV series such as Robin Hood and The Buccaneers and a documentary made in Cuba for Granada TV. SUMMARY: In this interview from 1990, Tomlin talks to Bob Allen about his career, concentrating mainly on the pre-war period.

  • Notes and References
    Notes and References CHAPTER 1 To provide an intellectual and cultural framework for examining Carol Reed's films, a history of the British cinema from its origins through to the Second World War is offered in this chapter. Although Reed began directing in 1935, 1939 seemed a tidier, more logical cut-off point for the survey. All the information in the chapter is synthesized from several excellent works on the subject: Roy Armes's A Critical History of the British Cinema, Ernest Betts' The Film Business, Ivan Butler's Cinema in Britain, Denis Gifford's British Film Catalogue, Rachel Low's History of the British Film, and George Perry's The Great British Picture Show.

THE CRITERION COLLECTION PRESENTS ThE FoRgIVEnEss oF BLooD THE STARTLING NEW DRAMA FROM THE DIRECTOR OF MARIA FULL OF GRACE FRESH FROm its THEaTRICaL RuN! american director JOSHUA MARSTON broke out in 2004 with his jolting, Oscar-nominated Maria Full of Grace, about a young Colombian woman working as a drug mule. In his remarkable follow-up, The Forgiveness of Blood, he turns his camera on another corner of the world: contemporary northern albania, a place still troubled by the ancient custom of interfamilial blood feuds. From this reality, marston sculpts a fictional narrative about a teenage brother and sister physically and emotionally trapped in a cycle of violence, a result of their father’s entanglement with a rival clan over a piece of land. The Forgiveness of Blood is a tense and perceptive depiction of a place where tradition and progress have an uneasy coexistence, as well as a dynamic coming-of-age drama.

  • BFI THRILLER: WHO CAN YOU TRUST?, Running from Friday 20 October – Sunday 31 December at BFI Southbank, Online on BFI Player, and at Selected Venues Across the UK
    Thursday 19 October 2017, London. This autumn the BFI is embarking on a suspense-filled UK-wide season BFI THRILLER: WHO CAN YOU TRUST?, running from Friday 20 October – Sunday 31 December at BFI Southbank, online on BFI Player, and at selected venues across the UK. The BFI today announces the BFI Southbank programme for December, with more films and events set to thrill audiences throughout the month. It will be divided into three main sections: Can You Trust Them?, Can You Trust Her? and Big Thrill Double Bills, consisting respectively of paranoia and conspiracy thrillers, thrillers in which femmes fatales and dangerous women reign, and double bills of perfectly paired nail-biters. Can You Trust Her? Dark and dangerous women have always flourished in thrillers, and the season will take a closer look at the women in front of and behind the camera, from archetypal femmes fatales and powerful female detectives, to the women who have penned some of the best-loved stories of the genre. Classic film noirs screening in December include Out of the Past (Jacques Tourneur, 1947). Arguably the definitive film noir, this features Robert Mitchum at his best. He plays an ex-private eye trying to escape his past until former girlfriend Kathie (Jane Greer) and gangster Whit (Kirk Douglas) drag him into a world of double-crossing, revenge and murder. Henri-Georges Clouzot’s masterful Les Diaboliques (Henri-Georges Clouzot, 1955) is a terrifying lesson in suspense storytelling, with a twist for the ages, in which the put-upon wife of a sadistic headmaster conspires with his mistress to get rid of him.
