Re-evaluates a critically neglected period in British film historyOrganised around four themes: stardom; film production, film style and the wider cultural contextActs as a companion volume to the monograph Transformation and Tradition in 1960s British CinemaThis collection of exciting new research on British cinema of the 1960s reconsiders and reframes the film culture that emerged from that tumultuous decade. Challenging assumptions around Sixties stardom, the book focuses on creative collaboration and the contribution of production personnel beyond the director, and discusses how cultural change is reflected in both film style and cinematic themes. With perspectives and insights from established scholars and new critical voices, Sixties British Cinema Reconsidered draws on under-explored archival resources to explore four key research areas: stars and stardom; creative collaborations in filmmaking; developments in genre and film style; and how the cinema of the period both responded and contributed to social and cultural transformation in the 1960s.ContributorsDavid Cairns, Edinburgh College of ArtLlewella Chapman, University of East AngliaPhillip Drummond, New York University in LondonPaul Frith, University of East AngliaMark Fryers, University of East Anglia and NYU LondonDavid Forrest, University of SheffieldCaroline Langhorst, De Montfort University Victoria Lowe, University of ManchesterLaura Mayne, University of HullClaire Mortimer, independent scholarDuncan Petrie, University of YorkSteven Roberts, University of BristolCarolyn Rickards, University of BristolSophia Satchell-Baeza, University of the Arts London and De Montfort UniversityVirginie Sélavy, independent scholarAndrew Spicer, University of the West of England BristolMargherita Sprio, University of WestminsterSue Vice, University of Sheffield Melanie Williams, University of East Anglia"
