How did early film censorship test the autonomy of Scottish burghs? Why did some cinema owners campaign for stronger censorship? Find out in @JuliaBohlmann's enlightening article in the Journal of British Cinema & TV @EdinburghUP https://t.co/De1KcQwm0K

Huge thanks to @cinetopiashow @scalaramaedin for putting on screening of wonderful docu 'Saving Brinton' about the always fascinating stories of early film showmanship and the people who keep it alive.

Twelve years ago we were campaigning against plans to demolish Govanhill Picture House for some rather naff flats.
Hope this one-off film showing is the start of something more positive!

#NECS2018 #HoMER2018 Marty Norden: Elaborate stage prologues thematically connected to features are an underresearched practice and crucial to Paul Leni's career before film directing. NB For a fascinating study of British prologue practices see https://t.co/6B2yIklC0i

James Burns discussing early cinema entrepreneurs in the Caribbean (esp. Jamaica but also Trinidad, Guiana) - strategy was cornering distribution and pursuing higher-income audience, so fewer cinemas in those territories. #HoMER2018 #NECS2018

Congratulations to Dr Andy Dougan whose thesis on Glasgow audiences of early cinema will be of interest to many here (and I bet it will be a joy to read when published!) https://t.co/nC0sfZb09i

[andydougan @andydougan]

It seems I am Dr Dougan now that my PhD thesis has been accepted. It's been hard work but fun too and I want to thank all of the many people who have played their part.

[Denis Condon @denis.bsky.social @DenisCondon]

Finally got my hands on a copy of @jeely_jar's book and looking forward to getting stuck in.
