  • Auf Wiedersehen Pet: Past and Present
    H-Film Auf Wiedersehen Pet: Past and Present Discussion published by Elif Sendur on Wednesday, November 13, 2019 We are inviting abstracts for a publication on the British television series Auf Wiedersehen Pet to mark the 35th anniversary of its first screening. We are interested in a range of contributions including; academic articles, fan responses, reminiscences, revisiting locations, interviews, etc. Auf Wiedersehen Pet first appeared on the television screens in 1983. Initially conceived as a single six part series it went on to run for 40 episodes over 5 series. The first series followed the plight of British workers forced to look for work overseas as recession hit Britain. The series, in 1986 showed a brighter, affluent Britain, but one which was ultimately corrupt. Voted in a recent Radio Times poll the number one favourite ITV drama over its 50 year history,Auf Wiedersehen, Pet continues to capture the imagination of the viewing public since its first airing in 1983. Over four series and a special, it portrayed the highs and lows of a disparate band of labourers. AufPet, as it became known to the writers, had a prestigious lineage. The series was the brainchild of a northern film-maker, Franc Roddam. It arrived after a long line of impressive cinema films and TV dramas which represented gritty working class life in all its glory and horrors. Such hard-hitting ‘social problem’ dramas as Cathy Come Home, Peter Terson’s The Fishing Party (BBC Play for Today, 1972), Boys From the Black Stuff and Roddam’s own The Family, had already begun to pinpoint the central dramatic component parts of working class representation; jobs (getting them, losing them, suffering over them), damaged relationships, drink, sex and music.

  • 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.

  • Wong Kar Wai Biografía
    Publicado en ARTIUM - Biblioteca y Centro de Documentación (https://catalogo.artium.eus) Inicio > En torno al cine » Directores > W > Wong Kar Wai Wong Kar Wai Biografía Wong Kar Wai, el director de las sempiternas gafas de sol, nació en 1958 en Shanghai, China. Su nombre entonces era Wang Jiawei. Cuando sólo tenía cinco años, se trasladó con sus padres a la entonces colonia británica de Hong Kong. Fijaron su residencia en Tsim Sha Tsui, no lejos del famoso Chungking Mansions, edificio compuesto por una mezcolanza de apartamentos de bajo coste, restaurantes, tiendas o negocios de diverso tipo, con un ambiente un tanto extraño, que ha servido de inspiración para muchas de las películas del cineasta. El cambio no fue fácil para el pequeño Wang Jiawei. Sólo hablaba mandarín y shanghainés, por lo que se vio obligado a aprender cantonés. Su nombre también se tuvo que adaptar a la nueva lengua, pasando a llamarse Wong Kar Wai. No tiene amigos, y sólo encuentra consuelo en el cine y la literatura, disciplinas en las que le inician sus padres. Su madre, aficionada al séptimo arte, llevaba a su hijo a las múltiples salas de cine que rodeaban la casa donde vivían. Allí se empapó de películas de todo tipo, tanto de directores locales como europeos o de Hollywood. Son estas fuentes las que le sirven de inspiración para realizar sus películas, ya que nunca asistió a una escuela de dirección. En 1980 se graduó en diseño gráfico por el Hong Kong Polytechnic College, matriculándose posteriormente en un curso de producción que organizaba la Television Broadcasts Limited (TVB) de Hong Kong.
