Epilogue ? The Decline of a Jewish Cinema Culture. 330 $aThis book investigates a Jewish orientation to film culture in interwar Britain. It explores how pleasure, politics and communal solidarity intermingled in the cinemas of Jewish neighbourhoods, and how film was seen as a vessel through which Jewish communal concerns might be carried to a wider public. Addressing an array of related topics, this volume examines the lived expressive cultures of cinemas in Jewish areas and the ethnically specific films consumed within these sites; the reception of film stars as representations of a Jewish social body; and how an antisemitic canard that understood the cinema as a Jewish monopoly complicated its use as a base for anti-fascist activity. In shedding light on an unexplored aspect of British film reception and exhibition, Toffell provides a unique insight into the making of the modern city by migrant communities. The title will be of use to anyone interested in Britain?s interwar leisure landscape, the Jewish presence in modernity, anda cinema studies sensitised to the everyday experience of audiences. 606 $aMotion pictures$xHistory 606 $aJudaism and culture 606 $aEthnology$zGreat Britain 606 $aCulture 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945 606 $aFilm and TV History 606 $aJewish Cultural Studies 606 $aBritish Culture 606 $aHistory of World War II and the Holocaust 615 0$aMotion pictures$xHistory. 615 0$aJudaism and culture. 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945. 615 14$aFilm and TV History. 615 24$aJewish Cultural Studies. 615 24$aBritish Culture. 615 24$aHistory of World War II and the Holocaust. 676 $a941.004924 700 $aToffell$b Gil$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0988774 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300018703321 996 $aJews, Cinema and Public Life in Interwar Britain$92260866 997 $aUNINA
