Film history has tended to view British filmmakers as aesthetically conservative, but the truth is they have a long tradition of experiment and artistry, both within and beyond the mainstream. Beginning with the silent period and running up to the 2010s, the book draws attention to this tradition while acknowledging that art cinema in Britain is a complex and fluid concept that needs to be considered within broader concerns. It will be of particular interest to scholars and students of British cinema history, film genre, experimental filmmaking, and British cultural history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: British art cinema: creativity, experimentation and innovation - Paul Newland and Brian Hoyle\u003cbr\u003e1 ‘Art cinema’, 1920s British film culture: Alfred Hitchcock and Anthony Asquith - Tom Ryall\u003cbr\u003e2 Humphrey Jennings: of images, poetry and \u003ci\u003ePandaemonium - \u003c\/i\u003eOwen Evans \u003cbr\u003e3 Out of the war, on with the arts: cultural politics and art films in post-war Britain - Katerina Loukopoulou\u003cbr\u003e4 Attitudes towards experiment in British cinema: the amateur art films of Enrico Cocozza - Ryan Shand \u003cbr\u003e5 Art cinema, British production and the 1960s - Duncan Petrie\u003cbr\u003e6 Happy accident: the symbiosis of Joseph Losey and Harold Pinter - Peter Jameson\u003cbr\u003e7 The parameters of British art cinema: a case study of John Krish - Robert Shail\u003cbr\u003e8 The reputation of Nicolas Roeg - Paul Newland\u003cbr\u003e9 ‘As the first black face on the scene, I had to push the doors open’: Horace Ové and \u003ci\u003ePressure\u003c\/i\u003e (1975) - Sally Shaw\u003cbr\u003e10 Art cinema and the British poetic realist tradition - David Forrest\u003cbr\u003e11 The third avant garde: Black Audio Film Collective and Latin America - Paul Elliott\u003cbr\u003e12 The rise of British art cinema in the 1980s - John Hill\u003cbr\u003e13 Derek Jarman, trance films and medieval art cinema - Jo George\u003cbr\u003e14 Twin traditions: the biopic and the composed film in British art cinema - Brian Hoyle\u003cbr\u003e15 Don Boyd and the business of art cinema - Phil Wickham\u003cbr\u003e16 Shakespearean film as art cinema: \u003ci\u003eStage Beauty\u003c\/i\u003e as a cerebral retort to Hollywood - Sarah Martindale\u003cbr\u003e17 Boundary crossings and inter-subjective imaginings: Sarah Turner’s \u003ci\u003ePerestroika \u003c\/i\u003e- Kim Knowles\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040974635351,"sku":"9781526100870","price":81.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781526100870.jpg?v=1750948460","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/british-art-cinema-creativity-experimentation-and-innovation-9781526100870","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
