It offers a fresh perspective on the social, cultural and film history of what has come to be seen as an iconic decade, with the release of films such as \u003ci\u003eA Taste of Honey, The Sound of Music\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDarling\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBlow-Up, Alfie\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Graduate\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eBonnie and Clyde\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cbr\u003eDrawing on first-hand accounts, authors Melvyn Stokes, Matthew Jones and Emma Pett explore how cinema-goers constructed meanings from the films they watched - through a complex process of negotiation between the films concerned, their own social and cultural identities, and their awareness of changes in British society. Their analysis helps the reader see what light the cultural memory of 1960s cinema-going sheds on how the Sixties in Britain is remembered and interpreted. \u003cbr\u003ePositioning their study within debates about memory, 1960s cinema, and the seemingly transformative nature of this decade of British history, the authors reflect on the methodologies deployed, the use of memories as historical sources, and the various ways in which cinema and cinema-going came to mean something to their audiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Melvyn Stokes, Matthew Jones, Emma Pett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1839025298\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781839025297\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e British Film Institute\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/21\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.30w x 0.90d","brand":"Melvyn Stokes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44069765251327,"sku":"9781839025297","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c080e1dd-1bc8-40b7-9517-97274f8fdefa.jpg?v=1685426355","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cinema-memories-melvyn-stokes-9781839025297","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
