  • An Overview of the Working Classes in British Feature Film from the 1960S to the 1980S: from Class Consciousness to Marginalization
    An Overview of the Working Classes in British Feature Film from the 1960s to the 1980s: From Class Consciousness to Marginalization Stephen C. Shafer University of Illinois Abstract The portrayal of the working classes has always been an element of British popular film from the comic music hall stereotypes in the era of Gracie Fields and George Formby in the 1930s to the more gritty realism of the “Angry Young Man” films that emerged in the 1950s and 1960s. Curiously, in the last thirty years, the portrayal of the working classes in popular film has become somewhat less sharply drawn and more indistinct. In an odd way, these changes may parallel criticisms directed toward politicians about a declining sense of working-class unity and purpose in the wake of the Margaret Thatcher and post-Thatcher eras. When noted English film director and commentator Lindsay Anderson was asked to contribute an overview article on the British cinema for the 1984 edi- tion of the International Film Guide, he ruefully observed that from the per- spective of 1983 and, indeed, for most of its history, “British Cinema [has been] . a defeated rather than a triumphant cause.”1 Referring to the perennial fi- nancial crises and the smothering effect of Hollywood’s competition and influ- ence, Anderson lamented the inability of British films to find a consistent na- tional film tradition, adding that “the British Cinema has reflected only too clearly a nation lacking in energy and the valuable kind of pride . which cher- ishes its own traditions.”2 In particular, Anderson observed that when, on occa- sion, the British film industry had attempted to address the interests and needs of its working classes, the “aims” of the film-makers “were not supported .

  • WOODFALL – SEASON LISTINGS Look Back in Anger UK 1958. Dir
    WOODFALL – SEASON LISTINGS Look Back in Anger UK 1958. Dir Tony Richardson. With Richard Burton, Claire Bloom, Mary Ure, Gary Raymond. 98min. Digital. PG. A Park Circus release John Osborne’s bristling dialogue provides explosive ammunition for Burton’s portrayal of the archetypal ‘angry young man’. Shot by the great Oswald Morris, the film opens with an extraordinary scene set in a jazz club. Trumpeter Jimmy Porter (Burton) – a disillusioned, college-educated bloke, raging against the Establishment – works by day on a sweet stall in the market. His downtrodden, middle-class wife suffers the brunt of his tirades, but when he vents his anger by having an affair with her best friend it causes untold misery for everyone he knows. Tony Richardson’s feature debut is the epitome of the kitchen-sink drama that spawned a new genre of British social-protest films and heralded the liberated swinging sixties. Apposite for current times and still uncomfortably compelling. FROM MON 2 APR Member Salon: Look Back in Anger TRT 60min Our monthly discussion series for Members and their guests takes a closer look at Woodfall Film’s influential first production, directed by Tony Richardson and one of the first British new wave films. Join your fellow Members to discuss the film’s portrayal of class, masculinity and Britishness, and how those themes are represented in modern British cinema. This is a free event for Members and guests who have attended a screening of Look Back in Anger. Tickets to this screening are at the special price of £6.

  • Girlfriends Season at BFI Southbank (20 December 2017)
    Wednesday 20 December 2017, London. The BFI today announces a season of films celebrating the joys and complexities of female friendships. GIRLFRIENDS will run at BFI Southbank from Thursday 1 February – Tuesday 20 March and will include features and shorts from around the world, from the silent era to today. The season showcases portraits of women who are actually three-dimensional and not defined solely by their relationship to men; from the hedonist heroines of Vera Chytilová’s Daisies (1966) and the schoolgirl friendship depicted in Jane Campion’s rarely-seen TV movie 2 Friends (1986), to the endlessly quotable titular characters of Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion (David Mirkin, 1997), these are films that would definitely pass the Bechdel test. With recent events putting gender inequality and issues of female representation into stark focus, this season is a timely celebration of sisterhood, with films that modern woman will relate to. Around twenty features will be screened, most of which will be paired with a short film by an up-and-coming woman filmmaker. More than half the films in the season are directed by women, including Sally Potter, Nicole Holofcener, Claudia Weill and Hollywood pioneer Dorothy Arzner, while almost all of them have a female scriptwriter, presenting audiences with a wealth of female talent both behind and in front of the camera. There will also be a tie-in collection on BFI Player with more than 20 features and shorts on offer, including critically acclaimed Palestinian film In Between (Maysaloun Hamoud, 2016), Sean Baker’s compassionate and frenetic tale of two transgender sex workers Tangerine (2015) and Japanese film Happy Hour (Ryusuke Hamaguchi, 2015), which was a hit on the festival circuit in 2015.

At the newspaper's height, circulation was approximatly 18,000 copies. The original editorial collective included Denis Lemon (editor), Martin Corbett - who later was an active member of ACT UP, David Seligman, a founder member of the London Gay Switchboard collective, Ian Dunn of the Scottish Minorities Group, Glenys Parry (national chair of CHE), Suki J. Pitcher, and Doug Pollard, who later went on to launch the weekly gay newspaper, Gay Week (affectionately known as Gweek). Amongst Gay News' early "Special Friends" were Graham Chapman of Monty Python's Flying Circus, his partner David Sherlock, and Antony Grey, secretary of the UK Homosexual Law Reform Society from 1962 to 1970. Gay News was the response to a nationwide demand by lesbians and gay men for news of the burgeoning liberation movement. The paper played a pivotal role in the struggle for gay rights in the 1970s in the UK. It was described by Alison Hennegan (who joined the newspaper as Assistant Features Editor and Literary Editor in June 1977) as the movement's "debating chamber".
