Original Athletes in 1924 Film
29 June 2012 BFI UNCOVERS “CHARIOTS OF FIRE” ORIGINAL ATHLETES IN 1924 FILM Harold Abrahams in the lead in Running – A Sport That Creates Both Bodily and Mental Health (1924). Photo credit: courtesy of BFI National Archive A routine search for footage in the BFI National Archive has uncovered an all-but-forgotten film Running - A Sport That Creates Both Bodily and Mental Health (1924) featuring two of Britain’s most famous Olympic athletes, Harold Abrahams and Eric Liddell, made legendary by their portrayal in Hugh Hudson’s Oscar-winning film Chariots of Fire. With Olympic fever sweeping the nation and a July nationwide re-release for Chariots of Fire along with the release of new film Fast Girls this is a timely reminder of Britain’s great Olympic heritage and a chance to see two of Britain’s greatest Olympic running heroes. This rarely-seen documentary footage will feature in a 4 minute extract on the BFI’s YouTube channel today. www.YouTube.com/BFIFilms The film’s full title is Running - A Sport That Creates Both Bodily and Mental Health (1924): Juvenile Races at a Country Sports Meeting, and scenes from the 1924 Olympics with W.M.Cotterell, Harold Abrahams, E.H. Liddell, D.G. Lowe, H.B.Stallard, G.M.Butler and D.McLeod Wright. 19 minutes approx @ 16 fps dir. John Betts Bryony Dixon, curator, Silent Film, BFI National Archive said: “How incredibly timely to come across the real Harold Abrahams and Eric Liddell in this beautiful quality footage with less than a month to go before the 2012 Olympics.” The film has been in the BFI National Archive collections since 1938 and was viewed by producer David Puttnam and scriptwriter Colin Welland when they were researching the Chariots of Fire story 40 years later.

Introduction
INTRODUCTION This study guide attempts to trace the production process o1 the forthcoming film War of the Buttons' from its Conception to its release in the cinema. In tracing this route students are asked to carry out a number of tasks, many of which relate directly to decisions which have to be made during film production. Following the development of this one film we have tried to draw conclusions about the mainstream film making process. However, it is important to bear one thing in mind. As the production accountant for 'War of the Buttons', John Trehy points out: "Each and every feature film I've worked on is completely different from every other, and can only be looked on a as prototype. The production process is always difficult when you're dealing with prototypes and this often explains why so many films exceed their original budgets. 'How can you be a million or two dollars over?' - is a question that is often asked. The reason is that certain kinds of films are unique and the production team must do things that have never been done before." Thus, whilst many of the processes which are dealt with in this guide could well hold good for other films, there are certain aspects which are unique. The guide examines both areas and encourages students to use their own experience of film viewing and cinema-going to explore both the generalities and the uniqueness. There is no attempt to show 'the wonderful world of filmmaking'; rather the guide reveals an industrial process, one in which the time spent on preparing for the film to be shot far outweighs the amount of time actually spent shooting.

"Chariots Of Fire" 1 Looking over the West Sands, St. Andrews, Fife, as featured in the film "Chariots Of Fire" (1981). It is on the beach pictured here that the British Olympic Running team are seen training in preparation for the 1924 Olympics in Paris. It is an example where the Scottish landscape is used to realise a place that is elsewhere- the scene is actually meant to be Broadstairs in Kent. "Chariots Of Fire" is the true story of two British track athletes competing in the 1924 Olympic Games. Eric Liddell is a devout Scottish missionary who runs for God whilst Harold Abrahams is a Jewish student who runs for fame and to escape prejudice for his religious beliefs. Extensive use of Scottish locations were used in the making of the film. The 1981 film, "Chariots of Fire" was directed by Hugh Hudson. It starred Ben Cross as Harold Abrahams and Ian Charleson as Eric Liddell. It was a critical and box office. The opening and closing scenes of the runners on the beach at St. Andrews have become an iconic movie moment, helped by the triumphal background music by Vangelis. ©Neil Sinclair "Gregory's Girl" Looking over a football pitch to Abronhill High School, Cumbernauld, North Lanarkshire, as featured in the film, "Gregory's Girl" (1981). This film tells the story of gangling schoolboy, Gregory, who is just beginning to find out about girls.

Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's Adapted Screenplays
Absorbing the Worlds of Others: Ruth Prawer Jhabvala’s Adapted Screenplays By Laura Fryer Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of a PhD degree at De Montfort University, Leicester. Funded by Midlands 3 Cities and the Arts and Humanities Research Council. June 2020 i Abstract Despite being a prolific and well-decorated adapter and screenwriter, the screenplays of Ruth Prawer Jhabvala are largely overlooked in adaptation studies. This is likely, in part, because her life and career are characterised by the paradox of being an outsider on the inside: whether that be as a European writing in and about India, as a novelist in film or as a woman in industry. The aims of this thesis are threefold: to explore the reasons behind her neglect in criticism, to uncover her contributions to the film adaptations she worked on and to draw together the fields of screenwriting and adaptation studies. Surveying both existing academic studies in film history, screenwriting and adaptation in Chapter 1 -- as well as publicity materials in Chapter 2 -- reveals that screenwriting in general is on the periphery of considerations of film authorship. In Chapter 2, I employ Sandra Gilbert’s and Susan Gubar’s notions of ‘the madwoman in the attic’ and ‘the angel in the house’ to portrayals of screenwriters, arguing that Jhabvala purposely cultivates an impression of herself as the latter -- a submissive screenwriter, of no threat to patriarchal or directorial power -- to protect herself from any negative attention as the former. However, the archival materials examined in Chapter 3 which include screenplay drafts, reveal her to have made significant contributions to problem-solving, characterisation and tone.

49 UP A Film by Michael Apted 135 minutes, color & b/w, 2005, UK First Run Features 630 Ninth Avenue, Suite 1213 New York, NY 10036 (212) 243-0600/Fax (212) 989-7649 email: [email protected] www.firstrunfeatures.com SYNOPSIS 49 Up , the latest installment of Granada’s landmark documentary series, revisits the group of people whose lives have been documented since they were seven, to see where they are now as they approach their half century. The original Seven Up was broadcast in 1964 as a one-off World in Action Special featuring children who were selected from different backgrounds and social spheres to talk about their hopes and dreams for the future. As members of the generation who would be running the country by the year 2000, what did they think they would become? Inspired by World in Action founder Tim Hewat’s passionate interest in both the Jesuit saying “Give me the child until he is seven and I will show you the man” and the rigid class system of 1960s Britain, Seven Up set out to discover whether or not the children’s lives were pre-determined by their backgrounds. The result was ground-breaking television – the very first example of a program recording real people living real lives – and the follow-up films have won an array of awards. Director Michael Apted, who has since moved to Hollywood to direct films including Gorky Park , The Coal Miner’s Daughter , The World Is Not Enough and Gorillas in the Mist , has returned every seven years to chart the children’s progress through life.

British Heritage Films in the 1980S and 1990S
ZNUV 2019;65(2);5-15 5 Andrzej Weseliński Akademia Finansów i Biznesu Vistula – Warszawa BRITISH HERITAGE FILMS IN THE 1980S AND 1990S Summary The paper explores British heritage films produced over the last two decades of the 20th century in the context of profound cultural and social changes. The international success of heritage films sparked off lively debates about what the term „heritage” stands for. The first part of the paper pro- vides a brief account of the fundamental issues and concepts of the British heritage cinema. The latter part traces the growth and development of the „quality” heritage film which in the l990s evolved into a marketable commodity that can be sold to international audiences. Key words: heritage film, costume drama, heritage culture, literary adaptations, Orlando, Car- rington, Shakespeare in Love. The emergence of lavishly produced „quality” films, variously called costume dramas and heritage films, made in Britain and France in the last decades of the twentieth cen- tury has attracted much critical attention. Those films were usually based on „popular clas- sics” (Jane Austen, E.M. Forster, Shakespeare, Hugo, Zola), although original scripts based broadly on historical facts can also be found in the mix. The best known of the early heritage films are productions by the Merchant Ivory team, that is, director James Ivory, producer Ismail Merchant, and screenwriter Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, which include three adaptations of E. M. Forster’s novels: A Room with a View (1985), Maurice (1987), and Howards End (1992), but many film scholars claim that Hugh Hudson’s Chariots of Fire (1981) set this profitable new trend in British and European cinema.
