This is a course for anyone interested in film culture and film history, with particular reference to British movies between World War II and 9/11. The course will seek to study five films which are outstanding in their own right but also expressive of a changing social landscape. They could range from the stiff upper lip of Brief Encounter or the sweaty working-class individualism of Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, through to the sex drugs & rock 'n' roll of Performance, the heritage culture of The Remains of the Day, and the multi-ethnic kingdom in My Son the Fanatic,

Course programme

It is hoped students will finish the course with a greater knowledge of the best in British cinema, of the British film industry in general and its (sometimes indirect) reflection of national character, outlook and history.

The course will follow a broadly seminar-style format of informal tutor lectures combined with discussions involving all participants.

Note: Although the tutor will be showing and discussing key moments from each of the specified films, this course will not necessarily be viewing the featured films in their entirety.

Entry requirements: No specialist knowledge is required.

Level: Beginners

Please note: This course is for students aged 18 and older
