Description
British Cinema: Past and Present offers a comprehensive historical perspective on the resurgence of British film in recent years. This anthology brings together leading international scholars to explore the diversity of British film production, from the early sound period to the present day.
The contributors examine various aspects of British cinema, including its distribution and reception, key genres and movements, authorship and agency, trends in social realism, and representations of marginalised communities. They also investigate changing approaches to Northern Ireland and the Troubles in films like The Long Good Friday and Alan Clarke's Elephant.
By exploring these themes, British Cinema: Past and Present provides a nuanced understanding of the complex history and evolution of British film production, shedding light on its current state and future prospects.
