Kilts, tanks, and aeroplanes: Scotland, cinema, and the First World War

December 4, 2014/in Autumn 2014_'War'

by David Archibald & Maria Velez-Serna The relationship between the First World War and early cinema in Britain is both highly complex and far from predictable. In 1914 the visual styles, narrative conventions, exhibition practices, and social roles of moving pictures were still in flux and wartime upheaval inevitably defined the context in which the […]

Photographed by the Earth: War and media in light of nuclear events

December 4, 2014/in Autumn 2014_'War'

by Thomas Pringle Double exposure, radiation, and imperceptible violence In a rare photo taken on set of the 1956 film The Conqueror (Dick Powell), we see the late John Wayne posing with his two sons while they contemplate a dusty metal box.[1] The location shoot for the film occurred just outside St. George, Utah, and […]

The din of gunfire: Rethinking the role of sound in World War II newsreels

December 4, 2014/in Autumn 2014_'War'

by Masha Shpolberg Introduction French film historian Laurent Véray has famously called World War I ‘the first media war of the twentieth century’.[1] The centenary has brought global attention to the vast media resources available to scholars interested in rethinking the legacy of that conflict, and, by extension, of the one that sprung from its […]

Serious games

December 4, 2014/in Autumn 2014_'War'

by Harun Farocki In the summer of 2008 my collaborator Matthias Rajmann sent me a newspaper clipping. Traumatised U.S. troops returning from combat are treated with video games. In therapy they watch virtual scenarios that simulate some of the situations they experienced in Iraq. The idea is that the virtual images will help the soldiers […]

December 1, 2014/in Autumn 2014_'War', Features

Perhaps no war has stirred the human imagination more deeply than the so-called ‘Great War’. From William Wellman’s Wings (1927) to Stanley Kubrick’s Paths of Glory (1957), Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s Un long dimanche de fiançailles (2004), and Steven Spielberg’s War Horse (2011), filmmakers have been reimagining the Great War in distinctly different yet captivating ways, profoundly […]
