Cultural Memory and British Cinema

We are interested in the memories of people who went to the cinema in 1960s Britain. This includes the films and stars they watched, the location of favourite cinemas, the rituals of going there, the people they went with and the character of the experience more generally. This was a time of significant social change and we believe that memories of cinema-going can shed light on questions about how and why the decade is remembered. This is true in terms of both cultual and social aspects of British life.
