Screen Britain | a film criticism book exploring Britishness in movies and TV

Combining the diverse voices of fifteen critics, filmmakers and creatives, Screen Britain journeys through historic and contemporary British visual media to explore national identity through the cinematic lens. This book’s twenty original articles - written in a relaxed style to entertain all types of film fans - analyse over thirty-five UK-made films and television programmes, including classics like Doctor Who and James Bond, as well as modern masterpieces like The Souvenir and Aftersun.
Essays range from objectifying the working-class in social realist films and the development of the genre’s new wave to the depiction of the British Empire and the portrayal of London immigrant neighbourhoods.
Also included in this anthology is a curated collection of sixteen films and TV shows that take you on a road trip around the UK, focusing on works shot or set in regions throughout England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland that are less represented on screen.
Screen Britain will be released on 12 February 2024. Be among the first to read the book by preordering your copy today: www.film-east....
