Davies was from the working class and only became a filmmaker in his thirties but made up for lost time with a series of semi-autobiographical, poetic works that drew on his troubled upbringing and instantly put him on the map of international cinema. After some underperforming literary adaptations in the nineties Davies had difficulties getting film financing for several years, but in 2008 he returned to acclaim with his expressionistic and personal documentary about the history of Liverpool, Of Time and the City which kicked off his second wind as a filmmaker through the 2010s including The Deep Blue Sea, Sunset Song and his final work, 2022's biography of the queer anti-war poet and decorated WWI soldier Siegfried Sassoon, Benediction. We discuss Davies' singular vision as an film artist, his innovations in using stock footage and music to express his personal vision, his hilarious distaste for the Catholic Church, the Monarchy and the Beatles, and the sad state of film financing in the UK. Currently Canadian and American listeners can stream Distant Voices, Still Lives and Of Time and the City on Kanopy. Follow Ben Nash and James Slaymaker on Twitter.

First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on March 26th 2023 For various reasons, I've been watching quite a lot of television set in and around Scotland over the past couple of months, and, as it rather luckily turns out, for many similar reasons, so has one of our regular visitors to the programme, and, even more luckily, that visitor is SANDY McGREGOR, which means that we can safely talk about all manner of things related to Scottish made and Scotland set television without much risk of upsetting anybody. Well, at least he can. So, over the course of the next hour, we talk about a wide range of Scottish-based dramas such as TUTTI FRUTTI, YOUR CHEATIN' HEART, THE CROW ROAD, SUNSET SONG, and SUTHERLAND”S LAW. We also briefly skirt around the knotty issue of those classic crime dramas TAGGART and REBUS, give a nod to STILL GAME, and, don't worry, TAKE THE HIGH ROAD does at least get a mention. We'll also be touching upon representations of Scotland on television generally, and those pesky “local variations” and whether they tended to annoy a youngster growing up north of the border. And we'll also be considering at least a few of the issues raised in SANJEEV KOHLI's excellent programme WHA'S LIKE US. PLEASE NOTE - For Copyright reasons, musical content sometimes has to be removed for the podcast edition. All the spoken word content remains (mostly) as it was in the broadcast version. Hopefully this won't spoil your enjoyment of the show.

In music writer Steven Hyden's provocatively titled new book "Your Favorite Band is Killing Me: What Pop Music Rivalries Reveal About the Meaning of Life," he writes about The Beatles vs The Rolling Stones as a prototype of a certain kind of rivalry - the ubiquitous cultural behemoth vs the reactionary alternative. It's true that few movie rivalries can compete with a rivalry as epic as Beatles/Stones, but Adam and Josh have come up with five memorable cinematic battles - and they've invited Hyden to go into the trenches with them.

History is a malleable object, and how we understand the past begins with important events, speeches, documents, and objects, and then the connections we make between them. But movies can tell us just as much about the past, and for Professor Thomas Doherty, the story of Hollywood is very much the story of American culture. Doherty sat down with Peter during the annual Society for Cinema and Media Studies conference to discuss how he found his way into the emerging field of film history, and his interest in everything from teenage exploitation films to "the most important man in Hollywood" who had his hands of every studio film. They explore the morality of history, and how one examines "characters" of the past and understanding their perspective (especially when it's their relationship with the Third Reich). Finally, the two look at the ultimate film noir, Out of the Past, and question how and why this seemingly frivolous B-movie has risen to an all time canonical classic. 0:00-2:59 Opening 3:50-10:56 Establishing Shots — Terence Davies's Sunset Song 11:41-1:00:55 Deep Focus — Thomas Doherty 1:02:11-1:04:58 Sponsorship Section 1:05:52-1:22:22 Double Exposure — Out of the Past (Jacques Tourneur) 1:22:26-1:24:04 Close

Poet Jackie Kay and novelist Ali Smith discuss one of the great Scottish novels, Sunset Song by Lewis Grassic Gibbon, the first part of his Scots Quair trilogy, set in a Scottish farming community.
Sunset Song was written in the early 1930s and is still one of the best-known and most-debated Scottish novels. In this unit, we discuss whether Sunset Song succeeds as critique of capitalism and whether it has value as a work of literature separate from its propagandistic ambitions. This study unit is just one of many that can be found on LearningSpace, part of OpenLearn, a collection of open educational resources from The Open University. Published in ePub 2.0.1 format, some feature such as audio, video and linked PDF are not supported by all ePub readers.
