Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 The Representation of Reality and Fantasy In the Films of Powell and Pressburger: 1939-1946 This thesis will examine the films planned or made by Powell and Pressburger in this period, with these aims: to demonstrate the way the contemporary realities of wartime Britain (political, social, cultural, economic) are represented in these films, and how the realities of British history (together with information supplied by the Ministry of Information and other government ministries) form the basis of much of their propaganda. to chart the changes in the stylistic combination of realism, naturalism, expressionism and surrealism, to show that all of these films are neither purely realist nor seamless products of artifice but carefully constructed narratives which use fantasy genres (spy stories, rural myths, futuristic utopias, dreams and hallucinations) to convey their message.

    The North of England in British Wartime Film, 1941 to 1946. Alan

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by CLoK The North of England in British Wartime Film, 1941 to 1946. Alan Hughes, University of Central Lancashire The North of England is a place-myth as much as a material reality. Conceptually it exists as the location where the economic, political, sociological, as well as climatological and geomorphological, phenomena particular to the region are reified into a set of socio-cultural qualities that serve to define it as different to conceptualisations of England and ‘Englishness’. Whilst the abstract nature of such a construction means that the geographical boundaries of the North are implicitly ill-defined, for ease of reference, and to maintain objectivity in defining individual texts as Northern films, this paper will adhere to the notion of a ‘seven county North’ (i.e. the pre-1974 counties of Cumberland, Westmorland, Northumberland, County Durham, Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Cheshire) that is increasingly being used as the geographical template for the North of England within social and cultural history.1 The British film industry in 1941 As 1940 drew to a close in Britain any memories of the phoney war of the spring of that year were likely to seem but distant recollections of a bygone age long dispersed by the brutal realities of the conflict. Outside of the immediate theatres of conflict the domestic industries that had catered for the demands of an increasingly affluent and consuming population were orientated towards the needs of a war economy as plant, machinery, and labour shifted into war production.

    Gb 1456 Thomas

    GERALD THOMAS COLLECTION GERALD THOMAS COLLECTION SCOPE AND CONTENT Documents relating to the career of director GERALD THOMAS (Born Hull 10/12/1920, died Beaconsfield 9/11/1993). When Gerald Thomas died, his producer partner of 40 years Peter Rogers said: ‘His epitaph will be that he directed all the Carry On films.’ Indeed, for an intense 20-year period Thomas directed the Carry On gang through their innuendo laden exploits, and became responsible, along with Rogers, for creating one of the most enduring and endearing British film series, earning him his place in British popular culture. Thomas originally studied to become a doctor, before war service with the Royal Sussex Regiment put paid to his medical career. When demobilised in 1946, he took a job as assistant in the cutting rooms of Two Cities Films at Denham Studios, where he took Assistant Editor credits on Laurence Olivier’s Hamlet (1948) and the John Mills thriller The October Man (1947). In 1949, he received his first full credit as editor, on the Margaret Lockwood melodrama Madness of the Heart (1949). During this time Peter Rogers had been working as associate producer with his wife, producer Betty Box, on such films as It’s Not Cricket (1949) and Don’t Ever Leave Me (1949). It was Venetian Bird in 1952 that first brought Thomas and Rogers together; Thomas employed as editor by director brother Ralph, and Rogers part of the producer team with Betty Box. Rogers was keen to form a director/producer pairing (following the successful example of Box and Ralph Thomas), and so gave Gerald his first directing credit on the Circus Friends (1956), a Children’s Film Foundation production.

  • Archers Assemble: Creating the Powell-Pressburger Partnership

    Archers Assemble: Creating the Powell-Pressburger Partnership

    23 SEPTEMBER 2019 Archers Assemble: Creating the Powell-Pressburger Partnership PROFESSOR IAN CHRISTIE A talk about Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger obviously shouldn’t start at the beginning. If we follow the dream-like logic of many of their films, it should probably start at the end, or even later. In fact, Powell showed the way, when he ended his second volume of memoirs, Million Dollar Movie, with a visit to Pressburger at his Suffolk retreat, Shoemaker’s Cottage. He has Emeric explain what the secret of their partnership: ‘you and I know what it means… The only secret is that we are amateurs. Telling a story is not a business. It is an art, and we are different from other artists because we were left alone by Arthur Rank for ten years to go our own sweet way, thinking we were professionals.’ That imagined visit is actually dated to the day of Pressburger’s death, in February 1988, and it was published five years later, after Powell’s own death. Like the endings, and beginnings, of many of their great films, it offers an enigmatic clue to what made their work remarkable, and probably unique in 1940s cinema. Both Powell and Pressburger had benefited from a hard schooling in film construction during the 1930s. Pressburger had worked his way up in the script department of UFA, Europe’s most professional film organisation, before he was forced to start again, in another language, in Paris after Hitler came to power; and yet again, in yet another language in Britain, working for fellow-Hungarian Alexander Korda.

    Freeview 81 Film Club Sky 328 newsletter Freesat 306 OCT/NOV 2020 Virgin 445 Dear Supporters of Film and TV History, Hoping you are all well in these strange times. It has certainly been a month of ‘Keep Calm and Carry On’ here! We were so sad to hear the recent news of the sad loss of French singer and actress Juliet Gréco who was recently seen in Whirpool and The Big Gamble on Talking Pictures TV. Also, our own dear Dame Diana Rigg DBE sadly passed away recently; there is a tribute to her on page 12. Good news on the ‘lost film can’ front – we’ve found another episode of No Hiding Place on 16mm from a viewer’s private collection! Lots of interesting short films have also been brought forward – so do keep on checking your lofts, sheds and under the bed…. I’m very proud of our new DVD release this month - it’s a charming film with George Cole and Prunella Scales:The Ghost of Greville Lodge. A wonderful film for all the family and a nice gift. Noel was the Executive Producer on the film and we have very fond memories as a family of being on set with George and Prunella. I was actually supposed to play one of the parts, but alas I didn’t make it through to the final audition! It’s now presented with optional subtitles for the very first time and just £10 with FREE UK postage. Details on pages 2 and 3. The second project I’ve been working on this month is a wonderful AUDIO BOOK of SCROOGE narrated by dear George Cole himself.

    O Elo Perdido Da Fotografia

    “CONSCIÊNCIA DAS CORES”: NATALIE KALMUS E O TECHNICOLOR NA GRÃ-BRETANHA Sarah Street Quando o Technicolor foi visto pela primeira vez nos cinemas da Grã-Bretanha, ele foi recebido por uma onda de opiniões contraditórias, desde a queixa perplexa de que “com a tela em um ardente motim de cores é impossível se concentrar totalmente em qualquer indivíduo em particular” até a alegação de que “filmes em preto e branco em breve serão uma coisa do passado.”1 Os modos do discurso contemporâneo a respeito da cor frequentemente abordavam o impacto das cores no público que, temia-se, poderia ser distraído por sua aparência espetacular no contexto do cinema narrativo. Para muitos diretores, diretores de fotografia e diretores de arte, contudo, a escolha da cor demonstrava o seu fascínio como registro simbólico, como uma ferramenta para apoiar a narrativa e como técnica expressiva. Este ensaio discute a chegada do Technicolor na Grã-Bretanha e o impacto que teve sobre as práticas vigentes, bem como sobre os regimes estéticos. Filmes que demonstram notáveis, variados e por vezes extraordinários usos do Technicolor – Idílio cigano (Wings of the Morning, Harold D. Schuster, 1937), O ladrão de Bagdá (The Thief of Bagdad, Ludwig Berger et al., 1940) e Narciso negro (Black Narcissus, Michael Powell e Emeric Pressburger, 1947) – servirão como estudos de caso para demonstrar como concentrar-se na cor convida a uma combinação de perspectivas analíticas e teóricas que revelam os complexos desafios colocados por ela para os estudos de cinema. Apesar de a cor ter recebido certa atenção nos comentários contemporâneos, nas histórias da tecnologia do cinema, na teoria do cinema e na crítica, isso de maneira alguma formou um corpus extenso; este ensaio tem a intenção de contribuir para o renovado interesse na cor ao 1 SIMPSON, Shirley R.

Based on his autobiography, Stanley Kubrick and Me, the film is a personal glimpse of the man behind the myth. With a wealth of previously unknown material drawn from D’Alessandro’s personal archives, the film sheds new light on Kubrick and his film-making, which included: 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, Barry Lyndon, The Shining and Eyes Wide Shut in which D’Alessandro himself played a cameo role. One of the film’s pleasures is seeing and hearing Kubrick’s many memos, requesting things like birthday party supplies for his children, room thermometers and medication for his pets; both fondness and frustration are clear in this detailed portrait.
