Two films about the cinema of Britain and Ireland originally broadcast separately on Channel Four. In `Typically British' (73 mins.), director Stephen Frears explores the wealth of stylish and familiar images created by the British film industry in the 20th century, aided by fellow directors Alexander Mackendrick, Michael Apted, and Alan Parker and writer Gavin Lambert. Shown on the set of `Mary Reilly', Frears hosts a guided tour through seventy-five years of British cinema from Hitchcock's `Blackmail' (1920) through to Mike Newell's `Four Weddings and a Funeral' (1994). The film was made by BFT TV in association with Channel Four. In `Irish Cinema: Ourselves Alone?' (51 mins.), Donald Taylor Black looks at the historic reasons for the fact that the most familiar celluloid images of Ireland have been created by foreign filmmakers, notably those of Britain and Hollywood. He describes the struggle of Irish people to create an Irish cinema. Features interviews with directors, writers and producers, including Neil Jordan, Bob Quinn, Jim Sheridan, Pat Murphy and Roddy Doyle, together with numerous film clips and archive material, including footage of director John Ford on location in Ireland. The clips include extracts from `The Quiet Man' (1952); `The Rising of the Moon' (1957); `Odd Man Out' (1947); `The Gentle Gunman' (1952); `Poitín' (1977); `Anne Devlin' (1984); `Angel' (1982); `My Left Foot' (1989); and `The Commitments' (1991). The film was made by Centenary Productions in association with Poolbeg Productions for Radio Telefis Éireann with the assistance of The Irish Film Board. (BFI ftvdb)
