60s British Cinema

Please replace the paragraph of text with the following: Following some necessary background, including information on policy and the institutional aspects of British Film of the time, we jump into Free Cinema and the British New Wave, with case studies on Karel Reisz and Saturday Night & Sunday Morning, Lindsay Anderson's This Sporting Life and Barney Platts-Mills's Bronco Bullfrog. John Schlesinger, Ken Loach and Tony Richardson feature, and then we consider Swinging 60s cinema (Alfie, Georgy Girl, Billy Liar, Darling). We follow up with a look at experimental cinema, as well as overseas directors working in the UK at the time, such as Kubrick, Losey and Polanski.
