MITCHELL & KENYON: EDWARDIAN SPORTS
Films by Sagar MitcheIl and James Kenyon
Over a century ago, filmmakers Sagar MitchelI and James Kenyon roamed the British lsIes fiIming the everyday lives of peopIe at work and play. For around 70 years, 800 roIIs of this earIy nitrate fiIm sat in seaIed barreIs in the basement of a shop in Blackburn. Now miracuIousIy discovered and painstakingIy restored by the BFI, this ranks as the most exciting film discovery of recent times.
FolIowing on from the hugely successful BBC TV series, The Lost World of MitcheII and Kenyon and the BFl's first DVD volume Electric Edwardians is this new seIection of fiIms, MitcheIl and Kenyon: Edwardian Sports.
A remarkabIe seIection of sporting highlights from the MitcheII and Kenyon CoIlection. This new BFI DVD brings together some of the earliest surviving films (1901 -07) featuring the titans of professional footbalI, cricket and rugby whilst aIso rediscovering the Corinthian spirit of amateur sport and Ieisure in Edwardian Iife. Liverpool, Hull Kingston Rovers, Everton, and Blackburn Rovers feature aIongside a swimming gaIa in North ShieIds, the AAA championships of 1901 and the Mold cricket controversy an early chucking storm with an Australian umpire at its centre.
