More Information
Summary:Nicholson examines imagery associated with films that record cruises within the Mediterranean Sea, shot by cinema enthusiasts from Manchester and south Lancashire (Lancaster) during the later 1920s and 1930s. She considers the journeys undertaken by specific filmmakers, their choice and handling of subject matter, their subsequent editing, and how they later shared their films in and beyond the home. In so doing, British amateur cinematography may be linked to broader changes in social relations, patterns of work and leisure, and cinematic activity at regional and international levels.
