Author interview: Q&A with Stephen Glynn on new book, the British football film

Experiencing World Cup fever? We speak to Stephen Glynn about his new book, The British Football Film, ‘a genre study optimistically undertaken by a Janus-faced creature, a film historian and a fan of football’ (15). In this interview, Glynn discusses the history and conventions of the British football film, touches on its representations of class, gender, race and sexuality and reflects on its possible future in an increasingly digital world.
