STEEL: A CENTURY OF STEELMAKlNG ON FlLM
FolIowing the accIaimed box sets covering the history of Britain's coal mining and shipbuiIding industries, the BFl turns its focus on the nation's steel industry.
This comprehensive double DVD box set features 20 rare documentaries, short fiIms and animations charting the story of steel. Among the material is footage of the intrepid construction of the New Tyne Bridge in 1928 with music by Jazzfinger and the rediscovered 1945 film SteeI, shot in TechnicoIor by award-winning cinematographer Jack Cardiff, it chronicIes the visuaIIy spectacuIar 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 pivotal role at the heart of British industry is unrivalled, 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 richIy fascinating and often surprising view of a IargeIy vanished way of life. For miIlions of people this isn t just Britain's 'industriaI heritage', it's their famiIy history.
This set incIudes a comprehensive illustrated bookIet with fiIm notes and essays by BFl curators and a foreword by Mark Miodownik.
