  • Cockney Cherokees on the Skyline
    ‘Cockney Cherokees on the Sky-line © Luke McKernan, 1999 COCKNEY CHEROKEES ON THE SKY-LINE Luke McKernan Museum of the Moving Image, 12 May 1999 The genesis of this talk came when I was invited to contribute to a film festival held in Udine, Italy, on the theme of the European Western. We are all familiar with the Italian, or 'spaghetti' Westerns of the 1960s and 70s, but the Eurowestern festival made it clear that other European national cinemas had, for whatever reasons, produced Westerns of their own, and had had a long history of doing so. Some were remarkably good, many were engagingly odd, a handful were thoroughly, embarassingly bad. We saw Westerns from Italy, naturally, several of a violent character from Spain, and the peculiar Der Kaiser von Kalifornien from Hitler's Germany which is showing at the NFT this month. There were the romantic and beautiful Winnetou films from West Germany, severely political Westerns from East Germany, a spoof Western from Czechoslovakia, a French Western set in the Carmargue, a silent Corsican Western and a Finnish Western reputedly filmed in a sandpit just outside Helsinki. And there were British Westerns. I'm not quite sure why they thought of me to be responsible for such an unlikely theme, except that I have a taste for some of the odder corners of film history, but in any case I uncovered what I hoped was an intriguing and worthwhile history, in effect an alternative history of British cinema, the fruits of which I would like to present to you this evening.
