Without doubt the most spectacular development during this decade of social and political unrest was the dramatic growth of the mainstream British documentary movement closely associated with names such as John Grierson and Paul Rotha, which is often described as Britain's most important contribution to world cinema. In these pages for the first time a full and detailed account is given of people involved in the documentary movement and a coherant attempt is made to date and describe their whole output. Rachael Low demonstrates how different documentary styles evolved, developed and changed - and eventually split into two distinct schools of film making.
An equally important innovation in the 1930s was the first use of film for educational purposes. Rachael Low records in detail the many experiments and debates held to determine the best use of films in schools and the often disappointing attempts to produce satisfactory educational films."--BOOK JACKETNotes: includes bibliographical references; incldues film listing

Call No: 71(41) LOWAuthor: Low, Rachael ; Manvell, Roger, 1909 CorpAuthor: British Film Institute. History CommitteeSource: UKPlace: LondonPublisher: G. Allen & UnwinPubDate: [1948]PhysDes: 136 p., [32]p. of plates : ill., facsims., ports. ; 25 cmSubject: MOTION PICTURES - GREAT BRITAIN ; UNITED KINGDOM Summary: "The first volume of Rachael Low's famous history covers the first ten formative and pioneering years of the British cinema. In 1946, fifty years after the appearance of the cinema as a regular form of public entertainment in Great Britain, the British film remained conspicuously unchronicled; and so to remedy the deficiency the British Film Institute set up a Research Committee under the chairmanship of the veteren film producer Cecil Hepworth, consisting of producer George Pearson, Ernest Lindgren, Curator of the National Film Library, Roger Manvell and Rachael Low. This volume is the product of their research. The first part of the book traces the growth of the British film industry from its earliest days, including details of production, distribution and exhibition, market conditions, showmanship and early film studios. The second part describes the films of the period, including actuality and topical films, travelogues, vaudeville, comedy, drama, panorama and trick films, as well as the development of film art and contemporary technique. Included are interviews and correspondance with many of the early film pioneers then still alive, extracts from film journalism and catalogues of the period, a record of the first public exhibitions and performances, and one hundred illustrations featuring posters, portraits, studios, travelling cinemas and a unique selection of early stills. After many years our of print, this volume is now re-issued with a new jacket to match the later volumes and will be welcomed by the many film fans, students and libraries who have neergetically campaigned for its re-release.
