In 1940 Britain was overrun and became just another country occupied by Nazi Germany. At least that's what happened in Kevin Brownlow and Andrew Mollo's 1964 film 'It Happened Here'. The film follows Pauline, a nurse as she is forced to choose between resistance and collaboration. Made over 8 years by two exceptionally young filmmakers 'It Happened Here' is an impressive and thought provoking film. In this week's episode we examine one of the most ambitious amateur films of its era and delve into the fascinating production, performances and story of 'It Happened Here'.

Despite decades of censorship and neglect, Peter Watkins (http://pwatkins.mnsi.net/) has created a body of work that marks him out as one of the UK’s greatest filmmakers. Born in Surrey in 1935, Watkins began his career pioneering the ‘docu-drama’ in two works for the BBC: historical drama Culloden (1964) about the final battle in the Jacobite rebellion, and The War Game (1965), speculating about a nuclear attack on the UK. The BBC refused to broadcast the latter, and after his feature film Privilege (1968) had a poor commercial and critical reception, Watkins spent the rest of his career in exile. In his theoretical writing, teaching and filmmaking, Watkins has challenged the ‘monoform’ – a standardisation of Mass Audio-Visual Media that barrages its audience with a rapid flow of changing images and sounds, with the intention of preventing any real contemplation. Joining Juliet to discuss Watkins' work is Gareth Evans, former editor of Vertigo magazine and adjunct Moving Image Curator at Whitechapel Gallery.

Every month, interesting people talk about the music, films and music for films which have shaped their lives. Tim Concannon, Roz Kaveney and Shruti Narayanswamy visit Chester Mews, Regent's Park, where a Nazi marching band from a parallel universe once walked past the door of Defence Minister John Profumo. Over eight years, directors Kevin Brownlow and Andrew Mollo made 'It Happened Here', a chillingly believable depiction of a Nazi dominated England and of the brutality of partisan resistance. Incredibly, given the nuance and sophistication of the film, they began it as teenagers, shooting on 16mm with volunteer extras, some of whom were real Blackshirts. The American trailer cost more than the entire budget of the actual movie. One of the favourite films of our guest Pat Mills, legendary comics author and editor of 'Battle' and '2000AD', the film's discussed in light of the clear and present dangers of national myths about two world wars. We ask the questions, and the question is: has it happened here?

En este podcast solemos tratar de una película o de muchas películas, si es que son de un mismo realizador. Por primera vez hablaremos de dos obras de directores distintos, pero hay una buena razón para ello. Son dos cintas británicas estrenadas en la misma época y que se enfrentan con los fantasmas de las guerras pasadas, presentes y futuras, como en el cuento de Dickens. Flirteando visualmente con el periodismo y con el documental, estas películas de Peter Watkins y de Kevin Brownlow (con Andrew Mollo) producen extrañeza, inquietud, horror y no poca desconfianza hacia toda forma de autoridad. De esto y más hablamos en el podcast.
