ELECTRIC EDWARDIANS
The FiIms of Mitchell and Kenyon
Probably the most exciting film discovery of recent times, the films of Mitchell and Kenyon were commissioned by travelling exhibitors at the dawn of the twentieth century for screening in town haIls, at vilIage fêtes or locaI fairs. Advertised as 'IocaI films for local people', the audience paid to see their neighbours, children, family and themseIves on the screen, glimpsed at IocaI footbaII matches, leaving work, marching in civic processions or enjoying the annuaI works holidays.
The hugely successful BBC TV series The Lost WorId of MitcheIl and Kenyon (also out on BFl Video) introduced audiences to these miracuIous views of the past. For the first time there is now the opportunity to explore the ColIection in greater depth.
The material on this DVD is taken from 28 hours of footage of scenes of everyday life and represents a cross-section of the subjects covered in the Collection. From factory gates to footbalI matches, the Ieaving of LiverpooI to the leaving of work, the workers on holiday and at play, this materiaI provides an unparaIIeIed opportunity to see the world through the eyes of the working communities of the time. The films of Sagar MitchelI and James Kenyon take us on a tour of everyday life in Edwardian Britain.
This DVD features 35 items in five sections: Youth and Education, The Anglo-Boer War, Workers, High Days and Holidays, People and Places as welI as five additionaI 'hidden' items. It aIso incIudes a specialIy commissioned score by Sheffield-based duo ln The Nursery.
