*British Cinema in the 1960s: Histories and Legacies*

6 - 7 September 2017

BFI Southbank, London

*Guest speakers include: Richard Lester, Sandy Lieberson, David Puttnam, 
Rita Tushingham***

This two-day conference, organised as part of the AHRC-funded project 
‘Transformation and Tradition in British Cinema of the 1960s: Industry, 
Creativity, and National Branding’ run by the Universities of York and 
East Anglia, provides a space for exploring one of the most dynamic 
decades of British cinema history.

It brings together academic researchers and creative practitioners with 
personal experience of the period in order to focus on how we construct 
histories of the film culture of the period (what sources we use, how we 
interpret them, what the people who lived and worked through the decade 
recall) and how might we understand the legacies of the period’s cinema, 
not only in terms of influence on later filmmaking practice but also in 
broader film appreciation and fandom.

Possible areas of interest include, _but are not limited to_:

·Historicising the 1960s and its cinema

·Archives, sources, methods

·Key sixties concepts and the cinema: individualism, freedom, rebellion, 
permissiveness, entrepreneurialism

·1960s British cinema and tradition/history/heritage

·Youthquake in British cinema? Issues of youth and age in the 1960s

·Identity politics in 1960s British cinema: class/gender/ethnicity/sexuality

·Losing an Empire, finding a role: engaging with the imperial in 1960s 
British films

·1960s British cinema and Europe: production, exhibition and reception

·International connections: ‘Hollywood England’ and beyond

·Film in an intermedial context: 1960s British cinema related to other 
areas of cultural production (television, popular music, literature, 
theatre, fashion, art, advertising, photography)

·Legacies of 1960s British cinema: influences, remakes, fandoms
