Screening the Past #25 now online ­ 3 September 3, 2009
 
 
Issue #25 of Screening the Past, La Trobe University¹s screen studies
journal, is now online at http://www.latrobe.edu.au/screeningthepast.
 
This is a special guest-edited journal devoted to Harold Shaw¹s THE ROSE OF
RHODESIA (1918), one of the first feature-length fiction films made in South
Africa.  The issue was made possible by the cooperation and support of the
Nederlandss Filmmuseum and the English Department of the University of
Uppsala.  In addition to several scholarly essays on the film and a body of
study materials‹contemporary newspaper clippings, maps, cast biographies,
and numerous images‹readers can access online, via a link in the journal
itself, the entire 81 minute film while reading the journal.
 
Issue #25 also includes Prof. Sam Rohdie on Jean Vigo, Jean Painlevé, John
Ford, and Humphrey Jennings; Prof. Robert Burgoyne on Terrence Malick¹s The
New World and history; and Part Two (b) of Bill Routt¹s epic examination of
Ford at Fox, the 20-dvd archival set issued last year.
 
The review section includes contributions from Ina Bertrand, Yvette Biro,
Dean Brandum, Wheeler Winston Dixon, Charles Drazin, Seyda Aylin Gurses,
Jan-Christopher Horak, D. B. Jones, Lorraine Mortimer, Geoffrey
Nowell-Smith, Daniel Ross, Thomas Salek, Brian Shoesmith, and Matt Wanat.
