  • HATTIE JACQUES Born Josephine Edwina Jacques on February 7" 1922 She Went on to Become a Nationally Recognised Figure in the British Cinema of the 1950S and 60S
    Hattie Jacaues Born 127 High St 1922 Chapter Twelve HATTIE JACQUES Born Josephine Edwina Jacques on February 7" 1922 she went on to become a nationally recognised figure in the British cinema of the 1950s and 60s. Her father, Robin Jacques was in the army and stationed at Shorncliffe Camp at the time of her birth. The Register of Electors shows the Jacques family residing at a house called Channel View in Sunnyside Road. (The register shows the name spelled as JAQUES, without the C. Whether Hattie changed the spelling or whether it was an error on the part of those who printed the register I don’t know) Hattie, as she was known, made her entrance into the world in the pleasant seaside village of Sandgate, mid way between Folkestone to the east and Hythe to the west. Initially Hattie trained as a hairdresser but as with many people of her generation the war caused her life to take a different course. Mandatory work saw Hattie first undertaking nursing duties and then working in North London as a welder Even in her twenties she was of a generous size and maybe as defence she honed her sense of humour after finding she had a talent for making people laugh. She first became involved in show business through her brother who had a job as the lift operator at the premises of the Little Theatre located then on the top floor of 43 Kings Street in Covent Garden. At end of the war the Little Theatre found itself in new premises under the railway arches below Charing Cross Station.

    Raymond Durgnat and A Mirror for England robert murphy If clearly marked personal style is one’s criterion of interest, then few British films reward the concern given to such directors as, say, Dreyer, Buñuel, Franju and Renoir. But other criteria of interest exist, whereby many of the subtlest meanings behind a personal style may be related to the collective vision of a particular tradition, period, background or ‘school’. It’s logical and usual to consider even impersonal and anonymous artworks as an expression of a general consensus (A Mirror for England, p. 4).1 R ’ A Mirror for England: British Movies from Austerity to Affluence, which deals extensively with British films of the 1950s, was written in the mid-1960s and was published in 1970.

  • Aesthetics of Stereoscopic Cinema
    Aesthetics of Stereoscopic Cinema Barbara Flueckiger Abstract: Although stereoscopic cinema was invented very early in the history of film, it did not become the standard for cinematic representations. With the latest digital wave of stereoscopic 3D cinema many shortcomings of ear- lier technologies have been eliminated, but debate remains about the aes- thetic principles of stereoscopy. This article explores and evaluates basic approaches to aesthetic design in stereoscopic films. Keywords: deep focus, depth of field, negative parallax, positive parallax, stereoscopy, window violation In 2009 Kristin Thompson asked provocatively: “Has 3D already failed?” It has not failed yet. But there remain many open questions regarding the aesthet- ics and conventions of stereoscopic films (S3D). Discussing these questions not only sheds light on the possibilities and limitations of S3D but also allows us, on a higher level, to think about the differences between the perception of objects and images. In his seminal study The Photoplay Hugo Münsterberg investigated this re- lationship and the differences between natural vision and the perception of moving images. On the perception of depth and movement in the movies he remarked: “Depth and movement alike come to us in the moving picture world, not as hard facts but as a mixture of fact and symbol. They are present and yet they are not in the things. We invest the impressions with them” (Münsterberg 1916: 71). He proposed a constructivist approach to the viewer’s perception and the cognitive activities that assemble meaning based on the representations displayed by the film. “Fact,” in Münsterberg’s view, refers to hard-wired forms of perception where the physiological foundations of the vi- sual system define to a high degree what we are seeing.

  • Nothing but the Night
    Talking Pictures TV www.talkingpicturestv.co.uk Highlights for week beginning SKY 328 | FREEVIEW 81 Mon 20th January 2020 FREESAT 306 | VIRGIN 445 Nothing But The Night on Talking Pictures TV Starring: Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, this chilling tale of murder in an isolated Scottish orphanage features a brilliant cast, including: Diana Dors, Georgia Brown, Keith Barron, Gwyneth Strong, Fulton Mackay, Michael Gambon and Kathleen Byron. Christopher Lee co-produced the film, which was directed by Peter Sasdy, who has a prolific track record in the horror genre. This intriguing story begins as a crime thriller and becomes a sci-fi horror with occult overtones, culminating in a fiery climax. Diana Dors is also fiery as a redhead on a mission and the pairing of Cushing and Lee is, as always, unmissable. Grittier and more naturalistic than their usual horror films, this twisted tale keeps the audience guessing right up until the dramatic finale. Nothing But The Night airs on Sunday 26th January at 10pm. Mon 20th Jan 09:10 Wed 22nd Jan 15:05 Sparrows Can’t Sing (1963) Night Without Stars (1951) Comedy, directed by Joan Littlewood.
