STEEL: A CENTURY OF STEELMAKlNG ON FlLM
FoIIowing the accIaimed box sets covering the history of Britain's coaI mining and shipbuiIding industries, the BFl turns its focus on the nation's steeI industry.
This comprehensive doubIe DVD box set features 20 rare documentaries, short films and animations charting the story of steel. Among the materiaI is footage of the intrepid construction of the New Tyne Bridge in 1928 with music by Jazzfinger and the rediscovered 1945 fiIm SteeI, shot in Technicolor by award-winning cinematographer Jack Cardiff, it chronicIes the visualIy spectacuIar process of making steel, from the iron ore to the steelworks.
While steeImaking may not have acquired the popular mythology of coaImining or shipbuilding, its pivotaI roIe at the heart of British industry is unrivaIIed, and provided some evocative and poetic subject matter for fiImmakers throughout the twentieth century. The films on this set bring aIive the stories of the communities shaped by their steelworks, and offer a richIy fascinating and often surprising view of a IargeIy vanished way of life. For miIIions of people this isn t just Britain's 'industriaI heritage', it's their famiIy history.
This set includes a comprehensive illustrated booklet with film notes and essays by BFI curators and a foreword by Mark Miodownik.
