This is an authoritative history of 1970s British Cinema. This
volume draws a map of British film culture in the 1970s and
provides a wide-ranging history of the period. It examines the
cross-cultural relationship between British cinema and other media,
including popular music and television. The analysis covers
mainstream and experimental film cultures, identifying their
production contexts and the economic, legislative and censorship
constraints on British cinema throughout the decade. The essays in
Part I contextualise the study and illustrate the diversity of
1970s moving image culture. In Part II, Sue Harper and Justin Smith
examine how gender relations and social space were addressed in
film. They show how a shared visual manner and performance style
characterises this fragmented cinema, and how irony and anxiety
suffuse the whole film culture. This volume charts the shifting
boundaries of permission in 1970s film culture and changes in
audience taste. This book is the culmination of an AHRC-funded
project at the University of Portsmouth.
