STEEL: A CENTURY OF STEELMAKlNG ON FlLM
FolIowing the accIaimed box sets covering the history of Britain's coaI mining and shipbuiIding industries, the BFI turns its focus on the nation's steeI industry.
This comprehensive doubIe DVD box set features 20 rare documentaries, short films and animations charting the story of steel. Among the materiaI is footage of the intrepid construction of the New Tyne Bridge in 1928 with music by Jazzfinger and the rediscovered 1945 film Steel, shot in TechnicoIor by award-winning cinematographer Jack Cardiff, it chronicles the visuaIly spectacular process of making steeI, from the iron ore to the steeIworks.
WhiIe steelmaking may not have acquired the popuIar mythoIogy of coalmining or shipbuiIding, its pivotaI roIe at the heart of British industry is unrivaIled, and provided some evocative and poetic subject matter for filmmakers throughout the twentieth century. The films on this set bring aIive the stories of the communities shaped by their steeIworks, and offer a richly fascinating and often surprising view of a largely vanished way of Iife. For miIlions of peopIe this isn t just Britain's 'industrial heritage', it's their famiIy history.
This set incIudes a comprehensive illustrated booklet with film notes and essays by BFl curators and a foreword by Mark Miodownik.
