Ps. Much original academic research on 60s British cinema can be found on our project blog: 60sbritishcinema.wordpress.com

Congratulations to our colleagues @KeithMJohnston @BritFilmMelanie @PaulFrith3 and @lornarichardson for getting the funding to start this amazing new project on women filmmakers and film archive catalogues! #genderandfilm #womenfilmmakers

So, should we accept the invitation to record our first ever commentary track for a cult British horror? Answers on a postcard.

Had a lovely day at Hull University with the @nebula_75 crew. Thanks to @LauraJaneMayne for the invitation!

Like 60s British films? Take a tour of the weird ones... twitter.com/wearecultonlin…

@1960sProject is a brilliant thing and is doing brilliant things. But to do those brilliant things it means looking at the bad as well as the good. I've just watched 'Blue Max'.

Best book I read for @1960sProject ? Jumpin' Jack Flash: David Litvinoff and the Rock'n'Roll Underworld by @KeironPim : a fascinating journey through weirder, scarier, less-easily-categorised but no less mythologically rich aspects of 1960s British culture.

A review of my book Female Stars of British Cinema, and it's mostly positive too (yay!) coffeecoffeeandmorecoffee.com/archives/2018/…

We're delighted to announce our first Q&A panellist as none other than Melanie Williams! Melanie is currently hard at work on a study into 1960s British Cinema focusing on Transformation and Tradition in the era. Check out a link to her project below: 60sbritishcinema.wordpress.com

Just got back from #baftss2018 - had a great time presenting alongside @CharlesDrazin, @JennyPGR and James Chapman, as well as catching up with loads of lovely people! Now for my next paper..

@Kuli_83 @norloll @baftss More importantly, 'twas great seeing a bunch of excellent panels/papers, not least from the @EastmancolorRev and @1960sProject teams, @malcolmcook76, @jinganyoung, @AnnaViolaSborgi & @ChrisORourke1. Sad that some odd scheduling meant I had to miss others. #baftss2018
