Bullet Boy Notes

These notes were prepared for screening events featuring Bullet Boy (UK 2004) in Autumn 2005. The focus of the events was 'Representation in British Cinema' and the target audience was AS/A2 Film and Media students in the UK.

Bullet Boy is the first film about African-Caribbean life in the UK to get a major cinema release. The film is now available on DVD -- buy it from MovieMail (see Links).

The notes are in two parts:

1. Background Notes on Representation in British Cinema (108k pdf)
