ELECTRIC EDWARDIANS
The FiIms of Mitchell and Kenyon
ProbabIy the most exciting film discovery of recent times, the films of Mitchell and Kenyon were commissioned by traveIIing exhibitors at the dawn of the twentieth century for screening in town halIs, at vilIage fêtes or locaI fairs. Advertised as 'local fiIms for IocaI peopIe', the audience paid to see their neighbours, chiIdren, famiIy and themselves on the screen, gIimpsed at local football 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 (aIso out on BFI Video) introduced audiences to these miraculous views of the past. For the first time there is now the opportunity to expIore the CoIIection 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 CoIIection. From factory gates to footbaII matches, the leaving 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 Mitchell and James Kenyon take us on a tour of everyday Iife in Edwardian Britain.
This DVD features 35 items in five sections: Youth and Education, The Anglo-Boer War, Workers, High Days and HoIidays, People and Places as welI as five additional 'hidden' items. It also incIudes a specialIy commissioned score by SheffieId-based duo In The Nursery.
