        Round our way

        Sam Hanna's visual legacy

        by Heather Nicholson

        Sam Hanna (1903-96), a pioneering filmmaker from Burnley, Lancashire, was dubbed the 'Lowry of filmmaking' by BBC broadcaster Brian Redhead in the 1980s. The well-meant label stuck, even though it misses the variety of Hanna's remarkable output. Hanna's intimate glimpses into the lives of strangers enable us to imagine the possible stories that lie behind the images. Away from mid-century exponents of documentary filmmaking and photography, Hanna shows us humanity and a microcosm of a world in change, where his subjects are caught up in issues far beyond their grasp that we, as onlookers years later, encounter and see afresh. Written and curated by historian Heather Norris Nicholson, Round our way combines stills, essays and archive photography to document Hanna's unique visual record on film, particularly in northern England, but also further afield, during decades of profound change.

        by Mu Ling

        Under the influence of his foster mother, Tiger Cub became a popular "child star" in the circus. Then the circus was disbanded, and Tiger Cub followed his new owner, a boy who was just as childish and playful as he was, into the mountains. The circus was disbanded, and the tiger cubs followed their new owner, a boy who was just as childish and playful as they were, to the mountains. Because of the experience of performing with beasts and small animals, it is so kind that it is a bit confused, and even does not distinguish between friend and foe; it knows how to help the injured and weak beasts, but it also repeatedly breaks into the territory of the carnivorous beasts, which brings a lot of trouble and danger to itself. Hunger, however, finally forced it out of the innocent "fairy tale world" to become a self-reliant mountain dog, and accidentally acquired a somewhat dangerous alien hunting companion.
