Product Description

This is the first book to examine film production in Scotland from the 1990s to the 2000s. Divided into two parts, the book begins with six types of popular genre films and follows with four chapters on strategies for producing films in specific international markets: the European art film, the British social realist tradition (or kitchen sink drama), the American independent film model, and Bollywood. Each chapter introduces the history of a specific genre or type of filmmaking in Scotland, then discusses relevant examples from the 1990s and 2000s. This book expands the scope of Scottish cinema studies in four significant ways: it focuses on popular genres instead of art films; it explores contemporary filmmaking in Scotland rather than only Scottish films; it examines filmmaking in Scotland in a global context and thus broadens the appeal of Scottish cinema to scholars who may not have an immediate interest in a cinema often treated as a "region" of British cinema; and contemporary films are examined in light of similar films produced in other countries at the same time. Indigenous filmmaking in Scotland has increased since the devolution of lottery funding distribution in the mid 1990s. Moreover, along with the establishment of Scottish Screen in 1997 and the imminent appearance of Creative Scotland, the Scottish Executive, Visit Scotland, and Scottish Screen are all promoting Scotland as a location for international productions. Therefore a focused consideration of the ways in which filmmaking in Scotland is currently situating itself in the global marketplace is very valuable.

Product Description
"Dear Maurice" is a collection of essays about culture and identity in Scotland, prepared in honour of the 80th birthday of Maurice Lindsay (21 July 1998). Its content reflects the life and times of Scotland in the last half of the 20th century, and serves as an indispensable guide to the changing context of literature, broadcasting, journalism, Scottish studies, the arts and environmental politics and the growing strength of the conservation movement. The essays have been contributed by leading authorities in each field of activity in which Maurice Lindsay has been active in the past half-century. His abilities as a poet, writer, critic, communicator and animator of public opinion are reflected throughout this tribute, coinciding with Scotland's move towards Devolution and the Millennium, which justifies such reflection on Scotland's culture and identity within Europe. ...

Product Description
While London dominated the wider British music hall in the 19th century, Glasgow, the Second City of the Empire, was the center of a vigorous Scottish performing culture, one developed in a Presbyterian society with a very different experience of industrial urbanization. It drew heavily on older fairground and traditional forms in developing its own brand of this new urban entertainment. The book explores all aspects of the Scottish music hall industry, from the lives and professional culture of performers and impresarios to the place of music hall in Scottish life.It also explores issues of national identity, both in terms of Scottish audiences' responses to the promotion of imperial themes in songs and performing material, and in the version of Scottish identity projected by Lauder and other kilted acts at home and abroad in America, Canada, Australia and throughout the English-speaking world.
