An AHRC-funded doctoral studentship (fees and annual stipend £12,500- 13,000) is available on the following project based in the Department of Drama: Theatre, Film, Television, University of Bristol, starting in Ocotober 2007. The student will be supervised by Professor Sarah Street. The AHRC has awarded a 3-year Research Grant to a project headed by Professor Sarah Street, University of Bristol, entitled The Negotiation of Innovation: Colour Films in Britain 1900-55. The project is a comparative analysis of colour film processes introduced to British commercial fiction and non-fiction filmmaking during the first half of the twentieth century. It aims to provide an economic, cultural and aesthetic history of colour film, based on archival sources, the film trade press, related literature/periodicals and textual analysis. The project team (Sarah Street, Co-Investigator Simon Brown of Kingston University, a post- doctoral researcher and the PhD student) will investigate how emergent technologies had to make a case for their superiority in a market that was dominated by cheaper, black and white films that were also privileged in aesthetic terms.
