Recent (ish) publications from the British Film Institute on society, culture and trash cinema

Over the summer we received the following new, or recent, titles published by the British Film Institute (BFI):

Balio, Tino. (2013) Hollywood in the new millenium
Basingstoke ; London: Palgave Macmillan on behalf of the British Film Institute.

Duguid, Mark., et al., (ed). (2012) Ealing Revisited. Basingstoke ; London : Palgrave Macmillan on behalf of the British Film Institute, 2012. 

Grainge, Paul. (2011) Ephemeral media : transitory screen culture from television to YouTube. Basingstoke ; London: Palgave Macmillan on behalf of the British Film Institute.

Hunter, I. Q. (2013) British trash cinema. Basingstoke ; London: Palgave Macmillan on behalf of the British Film Institute.

Utterson, Andrew. (2011) From IBM to MGM : cinema at the dawn of the digital age. Basingstoke ; London: Palgave Macmillan on behalf of the British Film Institute.

Wood, Helen., and Skeggs, Beverley., (ed). (2011) Reality television and class. Basingstoke ; London: Palgave Macmillan on behalf of the British Film Institute.



Also received recently: although not published by the BFI, this is a useful supplement to Hunter's British trash cinema - read both and you will become an expert on a sleazier, 'nastier' and downright sillier side of British cinema, which is often ignored by the mainstream - this isn't Ealing:

Upton, Julian., (ed). (2013) Offbeat : British cinema's curiosities, obscurities and forgotten gems. London: Headpress.
