This book investigates a Jewish orientation to film culture in
interwar Britain. It explores how pleasure, politics and communal
solidarity intermingled in the cinemas of Jewish neighbourhoods,
and how film was seen as a vessel through which Jewish communal
concerns might be carried to a wider public. Addressing an array of
related topics, this volume examines the lived expressive cultures
of cinemas in Jewish areas and the ethnically specific films
consumed within these sites; the reception of film stars as
representations of a Jewish social body; and how an antisemitic
canard that understood the cinema as a Jewish monopoly complicated
its use as a base for anti-fascist activity. In shedding light on
an unexplored aspect of British film reception and exhibition,
Toffell provides a unique insight into the making of the modern
city by migrant communities. The title will be of use to anyone
interested in Britain's interwar leisure landscape, the Jewish
presence in modernity, and a cinema studies sensitised to the
everyday experience of audiences.
