"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).

  • Scotland in the World – Learning Journey
    How others see us in film Scotland in the world – learning journey Introduction This social studies project uses cinema to explore how Scotland’s identity can be understood, not only in terms of the nation but also in terms of the identities which variously overlap it. Overall, these identities, sometimes called ‘transnational’, are various and varied. In cinema, they include expressions of ‘Scottishness’ constructed in the USA, Canada, England, France, India, Hong Kong (amongst others), which indicate the complexity of Scotland’s position in the world’s imagination. Exploring such films, the discourses that surround them, and how they intertwine with the global flows of people into and out of Scotland, enables students to consider how global citizenship ‘starts at home’. Social studies significant aspects of learning understanding the place, history, heritage and culture of Scotland and appreciating local and national heritage within the world becoming aware of change, cause and effect, sequence and chronology locating, exploring and linking periods, people, events and features in time and place Social studies experiences and outcomes I can make links between my current and previous studies, and show my understanding of how people and events have contributed to the development of the Scottish nation.

  • Imagining Scotland: Local Hero (1983) and Kailyardism
    Imagining Scotland: Local Hero (1983) and Kailyardism Beatriz Oria Gómez Universidad de Zaragoza [email protected] The aim of this article is to reflect on how cinematic representations of Scotland shape our image of the country. Far from offering realistic portrayals of the Scottish identity, most films depicting Scotland today still dwell on the clichés and stereotypes traditionally associated with this nation, thus perpetuating its dreamlike image and immersing the country in a stasis which prevents it from active participation in the historical present. In the present article, I will focus on one particular trend of representation, the Kailyard tradition, paying attention to its use in the film Local Hero (Bill Forsyth, 1983) as marker of a distinctive Celtic identity. The analysis will show how the apparent subversion of stereotypes and ‘militant’ attitude that some critics have identified in the film actually hide, once again, a reinforcement of traditional representations of the nation whose main target is commercial success. Keywords: Scotland; Kailyardism; Local Hero; tradition; representation. Este artículo pretende reflexionar sobre cómo las representaciones cinematográficas de Escocia condicionan la imagen que tenemos de este país. Lejos de ofrecer retratos realistas de la identidad escocesa, la mayoría de las películas que muestran Escocia en la actualidad todavía beben de los clichés y estereotipos asociados tradicionalmente a esta nación, perpetuando así su imagen idílica y sumergiéndola en un estancamiento que dificulta su participación activa en el presente histórico. En este artículo me centraré en un tipo de representación concreto: la tradición ‘Kailyard’, prestando especial atención a su uso en la película Local Hero (Bill Forsyth, 1983) como marcador de una identidad Celta distintiva.

We’ll also be featuring Mark’s latest album, ‘Privateering’ in glorious studio master. A Studio Master download is the highest quality music file available anywhere. It allows you the listener to hear a recording exactly the way the original artist and producer intended it to sound, before it was altered to fit on a CD or squashed down to MP3 size. So sit back, relax and enjoy as we embark on a voyage through tonight’s musical journey. VIDEO – YOUTUBE – Lonnie Donnegan – Puttin’ on the style http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TW9KUeMaJRQ Play the full video – 2min 50 Mark Freuder Knopfler was born on 12 August 1949 in Glasgow, Scotland, to an English mother and Hungarian Jewish father—an architect whose anti-fascist sympathies forced him to flee from his native Hungary in 1939.[8] The family settled in Knopfler's mother's home town of Blyth, Northumberland, in North East England when he was 7 years old. Inspired by Lonnie Donegan and his uncle Kingsley's harmonica and boogie-woogie piano playing, he wanted to buy an expensive Fiesta Red Fender Stratocaster just like Hank Marvin's, but had to settle for a £50 imitation. Unfortunately in his haste he forgot to budget for an amp, and after trying to plug it into his parent’s home radio and blowing it up, he had to settle for playing it against something solid to vaguely hear the notes instead.

  • Quick, Timely Reads Reading in the Time of Coronavirus on the Waterfront
    Quick, Timely Reads Reading in the Time of Coronavirus On the Waterfront West Fourth Street Music Scene Let’s Be Friends, Sunbeam Bread, a​ nd the Ave Maria By David Frew November 2020 Dr. David Frew, a prolific writer, author, and speaker, grew up on Erie's lower west side as a proud "Bay Rat," joining neighborhood kids playing and marauding along the west bayfront. He has written for years about his beloved Presque Isle and his adventures on the Great Lakes. In a new series of articles for the Jefferson, the retired professor takes note of life in and around the water. Television was in its infancy during the 1950s and sets were rare. But thanks to my father being an electronics salesman, we had one of the first TVs in the neighborhood. It was a black and white (of course), table- top, Hallicrafter, which was about 24 inches long with a screen that was no more than 12 inches in diameter. We only received a single channel, WICU, and weekday broadcasting did not begin until suppertime. I did not particularly like the television. I preferred radio, especially since I had my own crystal tuner with an antenna hooked to my metal bed springs as well as an auxiliary wire leading out the bedroom window to a metal pole behind the house. Most evenings I could get mega-station broadcasts from Pittsburgh, Nashville, Cincinnati, Toronto, and Chicago. The VHF Hallicrafter TV set There was, however, one television program that I looked forward to, – a Sunday evening, locally produced variety show titled “Let’s Be Friends.” The show’s MC, Paul Dwyer, sang and danced as he introduced local talent.

MINTAFelelős vezető: Ványik László ügyvezető igazgató Lunkán Katalin Szving szultánok Végszükségből világsiker A Dire Straits története MINTAAposztróf MINTA Előszó Amikor a ’70-es évek végén már minden új hang és új ötlet unal- masnak tűnt, felbukkant egy ismeretlen kvartett, mely rövid időn belül új fejezetet nyitott a ’80-as évek felé a rock történetében. Nevük ma már évtizedek óta világhírű: Dire Straits. Megemlíthetjük még azt is, hogy a Dire Straits stílust teremtett, de iskolát nem. Ez a stílus pedig aligha viselne el még egy ilyen előadót. Követők tehát nemigen akadnak. Meg aztán a Dire Straits zenéje 1985-ig nem vált olyan értékűvé, mint mondjuk a Pink Floyd vagy a Genesis munkássága. A divat már csak ilyen. A Dire Straitset ismerik, szeretik, méltányolják, de nem másolják. Akad még ilyen a műfajban, mégha kevés is. S talán ezért marad ez az együttes is magányos csillag a rock egén. 1977 óta jószerivel csak ezt az együttest fogadta be a szakma és egyúttal a közönség is a komoly, vagy „értékes” rockzenét művelők közé. És minden bizonnyal egyetlen magyar származású skót tanár- ember sem futott be olyan fényes karriert a show-businessben, mint Mark Knopfler. S hogyan jutott el a Dire Straits az első demokazettától a sikerlis- ták tetejére? Hogyan került a „tönkrement” Mark Knopfler Anglia húsz leggazdagabb embere közé? Az kiderül ebből a könyvből, s talán a mondás is bizonyossá válik, miszerint „a rock örök és el- pusztíthatatlan!” MINTA 5 1.

More generally, Forsyth is an important figure within recent British cinema history for a number of reasons. At a microcosmic level, the comic ingenuity, idiosyncratic narrative structures and tonal complexity of his eight features to date make him one of the most distinctive authorial voices to have emerged from late-twentieth- century Britain.
