Full textIn the mid-1990s the British cinema was thriving. The media was enthusiastic about the many successes both with the public and critics which the British cinema met, especially as it had been in a slump in the 80s. However, some were convinced that it was just a phase which would soon run out of steam as had already happened before. Actually, the history of British cinema shows a succession of crises and rebirths. It had a pool of talented artists, but, for these to be able to blossom and create a great variety of films, it could not do without money. A film cannot exist if there is no creativity. However, in order for the film to materialize and be seen by the public, it relies on big investment, both financial and human. It also depends on a complex system. The renaissance of the British cinema is therefore not due to one factor but studying the British film industry and its environment helps to explain this phenomenon. Examining how the relationship between government and film from the late 70s to the mid-2000s helps one to better understand the impact of some government policies on the cinema. The changes that took place in the three main sectors of the film industry – production, distribution and exhibition – are also among the essential factors which contributed to the new rise of the British cinema

Full textThe present study offers a guide line to enter the complex and profuse work of Peter Greenaway. It focuses on his fictional features, from " the Draughtsman's contract " (1982) to " the Pillow Book " (1996). We try to demonstrate that Greenaway's films are structured by an inherent dichotomy that is conveyed by a fascination /repulsion towards reproduction. This dichotomy is illustrated by sexual reproduction which confines humans in the antagonism of the sexes as well as in the biological cycle uniting birth and death. But the notion of reproduction itself is dealt with in a dual way. The duality of sexual reproduction is counterbalanced by a monism characterising a " cerebral " reproduction, which would allow humans to escape their biological cycle, thus denying time. This mental reproduction is a constant temptation for the male characters, the more so as it corresponds to their artistic preoccupations. However, the tension established by these two modes of reproduction conditions not only the set of themes, but also the narrative structures , which respond to the dual movement of inner repetition and outer references, as well as the medium of the cinema itself, which proves to be a place of tension between the establishment of a spatial order in a fixed moment and the constant flow of film progress

Full textA unique entity in today's British film industry, production company Working Title Films has been responsible for many international hits since its creation in 1984. Its films have earned billions of dollars, and they have won many film awards, including dozens of Academy Awards and BAFTA Awards, but also accolades in Cannes, Berlin or Venice. Yet, some commentators criticize Working Title for being excessively influenced by Hollywood, hence lacking cultural ambitions. They blame the company's partnership with Universal and underline that some of its films broadcast a stereotypical view of Britishness, especially successful comedies by Richard Curtis, or the ones starring Rowan Atkinson. Indeed, the company's first film was My Beautiful Laundrette (Stephen Frears, 1985), a creative, committed film, but its more recent films tend to be more mainstream and its first international hit was Four Weddings and A Funeral (Mike Newell, 1994). However, Working Title seems to draw some of its strength from its British identity. Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner, the two producers behind Working Title, also defend its “European sensibility”. The latter is reinforced by a partnership with PolyGram Filmed Entertainment in the nineties, and then with StudioCanal. So it is a transnational rather than a transatlantic company. Its films are transnational too, and some plots even include intercultural relationships. They use various strategies to broaden their audience, such as crossover and polysemy, and they try to balance cultural specificity with universality. However, most importantly, one cannot deny the incredible diversity of the films – regarding both their national identity and their level of creativity. Therefore, Working Title offers a fascinating case study to learn more about the issues of British cinema, about its identity (national / post-national cinema), the balance between art and industry, its relationship with Hollywood, and the role of cultural policies. In other words, this dissertation will study the evolution of Working Title Films, focusing on its methods, its strategies and also on the textual analysis of its diverse films, as a way to investigate contemporary British cinema and its issues
Kassel, Elena von. "Poésie et sciences sociales, sources du documentaire anglais des années 1930-1950 : l'exemple de Humphrey Jennings." Paris 10, 2003. http://www.theses.fr/2003PA100074.
Full textThe introduction focuses on Humphrey Jennings' (1907-1950) accomplishments, and what studies have been done on him, and how he is relatively unknown in France. The first part evokes Jennings' life, his literary and artistic engagements, including the crucial roles he played in the British surrealist movement, the founding of Mass Observation and his compilation on the Industrial Revolution, Pandaemonium. The second part is about Jennings the filmmaker. It begins with a short history of the British documentary film movement and Jennings' first films. With the outbreak of the Second World War, Jennings devoted himself to making propaganda films. Drawing from British tradition, these poetic documentaries had a profound effect on civilians and raised their moral. Today, they remain the most moving and true accounts of that time. Detailed analysis of these films follow. Jennings died accidentally in 1950. But his work is underrated. Some critics even believing his reputation to depend solely on the exceptional circumstances of the war. This thesis assumes the total of Jennings' work as poet, painter and filmmaker in order to establish his place as major artist of the twentieth century

Full textBetween 1979 and 1999, Scotland experienced a period of political, economic and social upheaval which gave rise to intense debate about the nature of Scottish identity within the British state. At the same time, Scottish literature enjoyed a period of creativity and dynamism which led numerous commentators to talk of a second Scottish literary renaissance. This literature, by favouring urban settings and the contemporary era, and by openly displaying its politicisation, is a key locus for these questions of identity. The main objective of this thesis is therefore to study how literature contributes to the construction, criticism and reinvention of a Scottish national identity. Informed by works which consider the nation as products of discourse shaped by culture, and thus by literature, we seek to analyse the ideological nature of the literary text. Its textual dimension, however, remains vital since the social meaning of the work of fiction will only reveal itself through the study of its lexical, semantic and narrative choices. For example, it is through the representation of madness, dependence and exile that Scottish literature contests the dominant neo-liberal discourse or the British sociolinguistic hierarchy. Despite their often militant nature, these works can in no way be reduced to mere political pamphlets, as they remain marked by tensions, contradictions and ceaseless questionings. By confronting identities that are ahistorical and essentialist, many authors stress the validity of Scottish identity while, at the same time, stressing its conventionality, plurality and ambiguity

Full textThis thesis deals with the treatment of the soundscape of World War II Britain in British propaganda of the period. More specifically, it focuses on how the Ministry of Information sought to handle Britain’s wartime sonic environment through the projection of propaganda messages and the control of information and cultural productions. This resulted, on the one hand, in an attempt to neutralize the sounds of war that the government, with the support of the scientific community, considered harmful to the physical and mental health of British citizens during the Blitz. On the other hand, the propaganda principles formulated by the government such as the “People’s War” or the idea that British people were “pulling together”, were specifically illustrated by several “aural icons” that were considered typical of the British nation. At the heart of my study lies the analysis of the soundtracks of official propaganda films commissioned, produced or sponsored by the Films Division of the Ministry of Information. From the beginning of the war, the British General Post Office (GPO) Film Unit was integrated into the Ministry and renamed the Crown Film Unit. Its role throughout the war was therefore, alongside the Army Film Unit and independent documentary units – such as the Shell Film Unit, Strand Film Company, Realist Film Unit and Spectator Short Films – to convey the government’s messages through short, medium and feature-length documentaries. What I demonstrate is that the government’s propaganda principles as well as their extolling of the British nation and its people, and of their superiority over Nazi Germany, were reflected in the treatment of the soundtrack of these films. Through a creative sound aesthetics, these films endeavoured to “harmonize” the sounds of the nation and establish a musical order within discrete sounds, as well as soundmarks encouraging the British people to resist in the face of adversity

Full textThis thesis wonders about the work of examiners within British and French filmclassifications: in the UK, the BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) is theinstitution in charge of film classification; in France, it is the Commission ofClassification of Cinematographic Works. The question here is: how have the work ofexaminers and institutional and societal evolutions shaped the creation and thedevelopment of a language criterion within British and French film classificationsystems? Indeed, stereotypically, those classifications are generally opposed: the BBFC is presented as a swearword-counting system, while the French classification is described as liberal. This thesis aims at explaining the origin of those stereotypes and at highlighting the true place of language within film classifications
Bazin, Cécile. "Images du conflit politique nord-irlandais dans le cinéma." Thesis, Paris 3, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009PA030098.
Full textThis study centres on films dealing with the political conflict in Northern Ireland from 1968 to 1998 and attempts to trace the relationship between cinema and this ongoing conflict. Through its discursive construction, its independent voice and its popular reach, cinema provides a unique vehicle for the exploration of the Troubles and the peace process. The films about the Troubles, shot during this period, look mainly at the IRA and its relationship with England. The films made during the peace process reflect the question of identity - a central facet of the peace process - by representing, for example, some members of the IRA engaged in the search for their identity turning away from political violence. The comedies - also made during the peace process - use irony to denounce the political violence of the Troubles and depict the hope that the peace process generates. These films, mostly shot during the peace process which reconsiders t! he East-West relations and the internal relations in Northern Ireland between the two communities, focus primarily on the catholic community [nationalists and republicans] in its relationship with the British. Intercommunal relations appear rarely in films and the protestant community, relatively absent from the screen, is represented almost exclusively by loyalist paramilitaries. Therefore these films display a certain interest for the catholic point of view and some of them concentrate on catholic victims of specific events of the Troubles and offer an alternative to the official version of history endowing cinema with a role as historical source and also as a space for the memory of the victims. Thus, cinema does not only retranscribe history in a static way but takes part in the changes going on in Northern Ireland
