In this interview, filmmaker and archivist Viviana García-Besné discusses her work as the founder of the Permanencia Voluntaria archive and the Baticine microcinema in Tepoztlán, Mexico. As the descendent of a family involved in various areas of the Mexican film industry since the early twentieth century, García-Besné has become an advocate for Mexican popular cinema that has long been dismissed by critics and institutions adopting class-based conceptions of cultural value and ‘quality’ cinema. Accordingly, the central mission of Permanencia Voluntaria includes both restoring films produced by her family and advocating for increased appreciation and institutional support for popular cinema and the audiences who enjoy it.

MIGRANTS AROUND ANNE FRANK’S ACHTERHUIS The story of Anne Frank, her family and her companions, hiding from persecution by the Nazi regime, is a well-known and – at a first glance – very Dutch one. The main divide between those in hiding and their helpers was that between being Jewish and being non-Jewish, which in those precarious times was of course the essential ‘divide’ imposed on the people of occupied Europe. But a closer look at the group of people around Anne seen from the perspective of migration and (national) identity produces different dividing lines and insights. Their life stories, converging in that one Amsterdam warehouse, ref lect many aspects of early twentieth-century European history.

In the writing on institutional organisation and collective strike action among agricultural workers in Lowland Scotland during the early twentieth century until the outbreak of the Second World War, Richard Anthony has provided an extensive discussion on farm servants.2 However, in general, little attention has been given to casually employed workers. One such group, known as the Achill workers or the Irish ‘tattie howkers’, employed to harvest the potato crop in south-western and central Scotland, attempted to organise themselves and pursued collective strike action on a number of occasions. That group, which comprised some 1,500 to 2,000 workers, undertook strike action in 1907. That action was followed by intensive campaigns in 1918, 1919, 1920, 1921, and 1938; a further attempted strike was also reported in 1912. Much of their collective action was assisted by institutional support from unions which were already organising workers. But workers also attempted to organise themselves with the assistance of these existing unions in the years 1918 to 1921, 1925, 1926 and 1929, and to form their own union in 1909, 1910 and 1938. This paper will examine these attempts during this period.

Quo Vadis

The article is devoted to the study of the development of Italian cinema in the period of fascism. The author draws attention to the Italian film industry in the first quarter of the twentieth century. The article describes the process of monopolization of Italian film studios and its influence on the cinema of the fascist period. «Quo Vadis», «Cabiria» are considered in comparison with fascist films «Nerone», «Scipione l’africano». The author studies how the ancient heritage was used in films of the early twentieth century and in fascist films. This comparison illustrates how antique plots were used in the propaganda of politics and how films about antiquity performed the ideological function of legitimizing fascism in Italy during the fascism’s period.

It begins with a brief case study of Annie Minerva Turnbo Malone’s use of motion pictures as part of her growing business empire in the early twentieth century, argues for the centrality of motion pictures to modern southern history and the influence of the South on the half-century development of the film industry from its beginnings to the early postwar era, and identifies the topics of each chapter to follow.

It is ten years since KAROL SZYMANOWSKI died at fifty-four. He was the most prominent representative of the “radical progressive” group of early twentieth century composers, which we call “Young Poland.” In their manysided and pioneering efforts they prepared the fertile soil on which Poland's present day's music thrives.

Three letters from the Sheina Marshall archive at the former University Marine Biological Station Millport (UMBSM) reveal the pivotal significance of Sheina Marshall's father, Dr John Nairn Marshall, behind the scheme planned by Glasgow University's Regius Professor of Zoology, John Graham Kerr. He proposed to build an alternative marine station facility on Cumbrae's adjacent island of Bute in the Firth of Clyde in the early years of the twentieth century to cater predominantly for marine researchers.
