- Newland instigated and drove the research that led to the publication of British Art Cinema, the first book to provide a direct and comprehensive account of British art cinema. Newland noticed that film history has tended to view British filmmakers as aesthetically conservative, but saw that the truth is that these figures have a long tradition of experiment and artistry, both within and beyond the mainstream. He approached Brian Hoyle (University of Dundee), and together they decided to pull together research for an edited book that, beginning with the silent period and running up to the 2010s, which would draw attention to this tradition while acknowledging that art cinema in Britain is a complex and fluid concept that needs to be considered within broader concerns. Newland jointly edited all the chapters in this collection with Hoyle. He also researched and co-authored the substantial Introduction, and individually authored a chapter on the film director Nicolas Roeg.
