BFI
The legacy of the British documentary tradition and its relevance to working people in the North-East in the 1980's is examined by showing one of the most famous documentaries of the 1930's, Industrial Britain, directed by Robert Flaherty and produced by the father of British documentary, John Grierson, and contrasting it with the work of two Newcastle-based workshops, Amber Films and Trade Films: Launch and The Last Shift from Amber and Roger Buck's Industrial Britain 2 from Trade Films. Are Amber's films within the tradition, or does Buck's film suggest a fresh documentary approach to Tyneside caught in a re-run of the 1930's which Flaherty and Grierson were observing? The four films are linked with interview material produced by Eleventh Hour Productions, New Cinema Workshop, Nottingham. C4 commissioning editor: Alan Fountain
