  • LOST for NEARLY a CENTURY LOVE, LIFE and LAUGHTER SCREENS AS BFI LFF’S ARCHIVE SPECIAL PRESENTATION with LIVE MUSICAL ACCOMPANIMENT [3Rd OCTOBER, BFI SOUTHBANK]
    LOST FOR NEARLY A CENTURY LOVE, LIFE AND LAUGHTER SCREENS AS BFI LFF’S ARCHIVE SPECIAL PRESENTATION WITH LIVE MUSICAL ACCOMPANIMENT rd [3 OCTOBER, BFI SOUTHBANK] Tuesday 27 August, 10:30am London – The 63rd BFI London Film Festival in partnership with American Express is thrilled to announce George Pearson’s LOVE, LIFE AND LAUGHTER (1923) as this year’s Archive Special Presentation. Lost for nearly a century, this film was on the BFI 75 Most Wanted list and one of its most sought after titles for decades and has now been carefully restored by the team at the BFI National Archive. Its screening at this year’s Festival gives audiences the chance to fall under the spell of Betty Balfour, Britain’s ‘Queen of Happiness’ and the nation’s biggest star of the 1920s. The presentation will take place at BFI Southbank on Thursday 3rd October, 6.10pm in NFT1 with a live musical accompaniment by Meg Morley as well as an extended introduction by the BFI National Archive’s Silent Curator Bryony Dixon and the BFI’s Film Conservation Manager Kieron Webb. LOVE, LIFE AND LAUGHTER tells the story of a pair of working class youngsters with big dreams – a cheery chorus girl and a serious writer – the film toys with our expectations, blurring the boundaries of reverie and reality, tragedy and comedy. The films aesthetic is extremely evocative of the period, full of Art Deco styling from the overall design to Balfour’s costumes and the film’s set pieces. This restoration is a major event enabling today’s audiences to enjoy a truly vivacious performance from Balfour in one of her key films and adds to our knowledge of director Pearson, often likened to Dickens (whom he admired) for his ability to wring the maximum amount of emotion out of a story and a key figure in British cinema with now only a bare handful of his films survive.

Cultural festivals are argued to offer one such particularly rich and nuanced research context; within this study their potential to transcend intermittent enactment emerged as a significant avenue of enquiry. The engagement of organisation studies with theories of practice has produced a rich practice-based corpus, diverse in both theoretical concerns and empirical approaches to the study of practice. Nevertheless, continuity presents an, as yet, under- theorised aspect of this field. Thus, the central questions of this thesis concern: the practices that underpin the enactment of festivals; the themes emerging from these practices for further consideration; and relationships between festivals and the wider context within which they are enacted. These issues were explored empirically through a qualitative study of the enactment of a community-centred film festival. Following from the adoption of a ‘practice-lens approach’, this study yielded forty-eight practices, through which to explore five themes emerging from analysis: Safeguarding, Legitimising, Gatekeeping, Connecting and Negotiating Boundaries.

  • Channel 4 and British Film: an Assessment Of
    Channel 4 and British Film: An Assessment of Industrial and Cultural Impact, 1982-1998 Laura Mayne This thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Portsmouth. September 2014 i Abstract This thesis is an historical investigation of Channel 4’s influence on the British film industry and on British film culture between 1982 and 1998. Combining archival research with interview testimony and secondary literature, this thesis presents the history of a broadcaster’s involvement in British film production, while also examining the cultural and industrial impact of this involvement over time. This study of the interdependence of film and television will aim to bring together aspects of what have hitherto been separate disciplinary fields, and as such will make an important contribution to film and television studies. In order to better understand this interdependence, this thesis will offer some original ideas about the relationship between film and television, examining the ways in which Channel 4’s funding methods led to new production practices. Aside from the important part the Channel played in funding (predominantly low-budget) films during periods when the industry was in decline and film finance was scarce, this partnership had profound effects on British cinema in the 1980s and 1990s. In exploring these effects, this thesis will look at the ways in which the film funding practices of the Channel changed the landscape of the film industry, offered opportunities to emerging new talent, altered perceptions of British film culture at home and abroad, fostered innovative aesthetic practices and brought new images of Britain to cinema and television screens.

  • Soundscapes of the Urban Past
    Shifting Sounds Textualization and Dramatization of Urban Soundscapes Karin Bijsterveld, Annelies Jacobs, Jasper Aalbers and Andreas Fickers 1. Sound Ways in the Museum In 2007, the Aboa Vetus & Ars Nova Museum in Turku, Finland did something remark- able. It organized an exhibition on the history of the medieval town of Arboa Vetus which hardly made use of images, while also very few artefacts were put on display. The exhibition, entitled »Sound Ways«, was largely built around sound and text. As such it re-enacted the acoustic environment of Arboa Vetus by playing recordings, or »acoustic images« as the curators called them, in the rather dark museum basement harbouring the rudimentary remains of the town’s excavations. These recordings presented six me- dieval characters: a blacksmith, a fisherman’s wife, a cathedral schoolmaster, a maid of a merchant’s house and a mother superior. Rather than being played over headphones, the recordings automatically started to sound as soon as visitors entered a particular area of the exhibition. To prevent a cacophony of sounds these spaces were separated from each other through sound isolating felt.1 In looking back on this exhibition, the curators explained that they aimed to find a so- lution for an issue we would like to label as the »museum authenticity problem«.2 For some, this problem refers to the seeming contradiction between, on the one hand, the academic claim that historical authenticity is constructed by the observer rather than »inherent or intrinsic to the person or practice or object« presented and, on the other hand, the firm belief of the wider public to simply experience authenticity through these presentations, for instance by listening to early music played with historical 1 Aboa Vetus & Ars Nova Museum 2007.
