Abstract:

This thesis reveals and explores contemporary relationships between film education, film industry and film culture within a UK context through a series of interviews, data analysis, historical research and international case studies. It highlights what appear to be binary oppositions within film such as divisions between theory and practice, industry and academia or art and entertainment and interrogates how they have permeated film education to the point where the relationship between film studies and film practice is polemical. Also, the thesis investigates how a relationship between two bin

Abstract:

Producing religion on film is not new and investigating the production of religion on film has also been done before. Popular culture has never been so present in our everyday life as it is today, therefore the interest in popular culture is big. This qualitative content analysis examines how Muslims are produced on film. The films used in the survey are: American Sniper, The Hurt Locker, Not without my daughter and Desert flower. Previous research on the subject shows that films generally produce a stereotypical image of Muslims. Researchers argue that instead of showing that culture and indi

The design and optimization of soft X-ray multilayer film mirrors have been studied using optical theory. Our investigations show that the reflectivity of multilayer films is sensitive to their modulation wavelength and that their reflectivity can be improved by structural optimization. A new design method has been developed which can be used to increase the bandwidth and to change the shape of the reflectivity curves of multilayer film mirrors. Detailed studies of the formation and structure of practical vacuum deposited erbium(Er) thin film systems are presented. It was found that the phase

Abstract:

This thesis attempts to re-examine the work of Jean-Luc Godard and in particular the claims which have been made for it as the starting-point for a revolutionary cinema. This re-examination involves, firstly, a critical summary of the development of Structuralist thinking, from its origins in linguistics, with Saussure, through to its influence on Marxism, with Althusser. It is this `Structural Marxism' which prepared the ground for a view of Godard as a revolutionary film-maker so its influences on film theory in the decade after 1968 is traced in journals such as Cahiers du Cinéa and Screen

Denna uppsats undersöker om populärkulturen påverkar framställningen av religiösa myter på film. Studien utfördes för att ta reda på vilka likheter och skillnader det finns i filmernas händelseförlopp och hur hjälten gestaltas i filmerna. Studien genomfördes som en kvalitativ undersökning med hjälp av en komparativ närläsning av materialet. Empirin som användes i studien var Disneys Moana och Hercules som båda baseras på religiösa myter. Efter den komparativa närläsningen användes Campbells teoretiska hjälteresa som teori.

This thesis explores the early years of the British documentary movement as it formed within the Empire Marketing Board between 1926 and 1933.

The movement started with government money and resources, in a position formalised by the EMB's use of the Imperial Institute, a Victorian institution with an established history of public education, exhibition and research. Within this official institutional framework the EMB's filmmakers enjoyed an extraordinary

Over the past few decades, the relationship between film and philosophy has been an object of an intense debate among film scholars, revitalizing some basic theoretical questions about cinematic representations and their meanings.

British cinema of the post-war period has often been characterised as anodyne in terms of gender relations, with the exciting 'wicked ladies' of the war years erased in favour of more conservative versions of femininity. Recent writing (Geraghty, 2000, Harper and Porter, 2003) has brought challenges to bear on this paradigm and opened up a critical space for a more nuanced analysis of gender.

A cultural approach that combines textual and contextual analyses is used to draw links between the case study films and the societies within which they are produced and consumed.
