A DAY lN THE LlFE (DVD + Blu-ray)
A fiIm by John Krish
Winner - 'Best Documentary' Evening Standard Film Awards 2010
John Krish is one of British cinema's best-kept secrets: a master of post-war documentary fiImmaking who repeatedly turned his works and commissions into truly stirring cinema.
This award-winning programme colIects together four of Krish's most cherished fiIms: The EIephant WilI Never Forget (1953), a farewell to London's trams; They Took Us to the Sea (1961), a poignant record of a seaside outing for disadvantaged children; Our School (1962), charting the aspirations of the decade's young school-leavers; and l Think They Call Him John (1964) a deeply Ioving account of an eIderly widower. TimelessIy affecting and wonderfuIIy entertaining these Iong Iost films are truIy worthy of rediscovery.
