*INSIDERS/OUTSIDERS: Refugees from Nazi Europe and their Contribution to 
British Film and Television*

*A special issue of /Jewish Film and New Media/ (Autumn 2019/Spring 2020)*

This special issue of /Jewish Film and New Media /entitled 
“Insiders/Outsiders” proposes to examine the extraordinarily rich and 
pervasive contribution of refugees from Nazi-dominated Europe to film 
and television of the United Kingdom. In every field, émigrés arriving 
from Europe in the 1930s - supported by a small number of like-minded 
individuals already resident in this country - introduced a 
professionalism, internationalism and bold avant-gardism to British 
screens. This includes, but is not limited to, Alexander Korda, Emeric 
Pressburger, Conrad Veidt, Lothar Mendes, Karel Reisz, Ken Adam, EA 
Dupont, Werner Brandes, Gunter Krampf, Alfred Junge, Erno Metzner, Hans 
May, Ernest Meyer, Anton Walbrook, Lilli Palmer, Conrad Vedit, inter 
alia in British film from the 1930s to the 1950s and beyond; 
documentaries on individual émigrés active in the arts; and artists’ 
films by members of the second or third generation relating to their 
families’ experiences. At a time when the issue of immigration is much 
debated, this special issue serves as a reminder of the importance of 
cultural cross-fertilization and of the deep, long-lasting and 
wide-ranging contribution that refugees have made and continue to make 
to British life.
