- Pride of Place. by Gazidis, Dorthea,film director.; Longinotto, Kim,film director.; Royal Anthropological Institute (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
- Originally produced by Royal Anthropological Institute in 1976.A rarely seen classic, PRIDE OF PLACE was made as a first project while Longinotto was a student at England’s National School of Television and Film. As a teenager, the filmmaker had been condemned to a girls’ boarding school in an old, isolated castle in Buckinghamshire. Wisely, she ran away at the age of 17, and years later took the opportunity for sweet revenge. In this dark and expressive film, Longinotto exposes the repressive school from the students’ perspective—as a kind of miniature state with bizarre rules, indigestible food and absurd punishments. One year after the release of the film, the boarding school was closed down. With PRIDE OF PLACE, Longinotto sets the tone for a long career of films in which individuals revolt against oppressive authorities and stifling traditions.Mode of access: World Wide Web.
