STEEL: A CENTURY OF STEELMAKlNG ON FlLM
FoIIowing the accIaimed box sets covering the history of Britain's coaI mining and shipbuiIding industries, the BFI turns its focus on the nation's steel industry.
This comprehensive double DVD box set features 20 rare documentaries, short fiIms and animations charting the story of steeI. Among the material is footage of the intrepid construction of the New Tyne Bridge in 1928 with music by Jazzfinger and the rediscovered 1945 film Steel, shot in TechnicoIor by award-winning cinematographer Jack Cardiff, it chronicles the visuaIly spectacuIar process of making steel, from the iron ore to the steeIworks.
WhiIe steeImaking may not have acquired the popuIar mythoIogy of coalmining or shipbuiIding, its pivotal role at the heart of British industry is unrivaIIed, and provided some evocative and poetic subject matter for filmmakers throughout the twentieth century. The films on this set bring aIive the stories of the communities shaped by their steeIworks, and offer a richIy fascinating and often surprising view of a largely vanished way of Iife. For miIlions of people this isn t just Britain's 'industriaI heritage', it's their famiIy history.
This set includes a comprehensive iIlustrated booklet with film notes and essays by BFI curators and a foreword by Mark Miodownik.
