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."--Publisher's description Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 285-301), filmography (p. 302-313) and index Notes English Print version record SUBJECT Bibel Philemonbrief gnd Subject Motion pictures -- Great Britain -- History -- 20th century Motion pictures -- Great Britain -- Plots, themes, etc Motion picture industry -- Great Britain -- History -- 20th century Nineteen seventies.
