Offbeat British Cinema's Curiosities, Obscurities and Forgotten Gems

There is consensus about the merits of Britain's 'cult films' but an odd silence around some 'stranger' classics. OFFBEAT redresses this by exploring Britain's obscurities and curiosities - from the late fifties leap in film production to the death of popular domestic cinema in the early eighties. Featuring essays, interviews and in-depth reviews, OFFBEAT is a guide through a host of cinematic trends and episodes, including: - 'Anti-swinging sixties' films - CIA-funded British cartoons - The demise of the short as supporting feature. Now updated with more than 150 pages of new reviews and essays!
