The British School Film: Directors and Directions. 330 $aThis book constitutes the first full volume dedicated to an academic analysis of British football as depicted on film. From early single-camera silents to its current multi-screen mediations, the repeated treatment of football in British cinema points to the game's importance not only in the everyday rhythms of national life but also, and especially, its immutable place in the British imaginary landscape. Through close textual analysis together with production and reception histories, this book explores the ways in which professional footballers, amateur players and supporters (the devoted and the demonized) have been represented on the British screen. As well as addressing the joys and sorrows the game necessarily engenders, British football is shown to function as an accessible structure to explore wider issues such as class, race, gender and even the whole notion of 'Britishness'. . 606 $aMotion pictures$zGreat Britain 606 $aEthnology$zGreat Britain 606 $aCulture 606 $aSports$xSociological aspects 606 $aBritish Film and TV 606 $aBritish Culture 606 $aSport Sociology 615 0$aMotion pictures 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aSports$xSociological aspects. 615 14$aBritish Film and TV. 615 24$aBritish Culture. 615 24$aSport Sociology. 676 $a791.430941 700 $aGlynn$b Stephen$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0852640 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300004003321 996 $aThe British Football Film$92185696 997 $aUNINA
