The Moving Spirit

The Moving Spirit is a stylish cartoon summary of the development of the modern motor, carrying its promotional message for sponsor BP with subtlety and skill.

This characteristically elegant documentary from British Transport Films shows how British Railways keep trains running on time.

This fast-paced, no-nonsense review of the work of the police force during hostilities was one of the last films produced by the celebrated General Post Office Film Unit.

The Eighty Days

This public information film details the bombardment of London and the Southeast by the terrifying V-1 flying bomb, known as the ‘doodlebug’, and outlines Britain’s defences.

This information film offers revealing insights into the re-structuring of health services in London and elsewhere in Britain following the outbreak of WWII.

This dramatised film promoting the birth of the NHS weaves a family and community story around the cases of a hard-working local doctor.

This Sporting Life

Director Lindsay Anderson and leading man Richard Harris put themselves on the map with this riveting study of a rugby-league player tormented by feelings for a grieving widow.
