Next Episode of Britain on Film is
not planed. TV Show was canceled.
In 1959 Britain's biggest cinema company, the Rank Organisation, decided to replace its newsreels with a series of short, quirky, topical documentaries that examined all aspects of life in Britain. For the next ten years, Look at Life chronicled - on high-grade 35mm colour film - the changing face of British society, industry and culture. Britain on Film draws upon the 500 films in this unique archive to offer illuminating and often surprising insights into what became a pivotal decade in modern British history.
Series on 1960s British life continues by looking at how we tackled housing shortages, rebuilt cities and met the expectations of an increasingly affluent nation.
1960s short films made by the Rank Organisation on foreign excursions, including the reindeer herders of Lapland and the young Dalai Lama in India following his exile.
1960s short films reflecting our national preoccupation with a range of competitive sports, ranging from golf and cycling to skiing and stock car racing.
1960s short films capture the post-war emergence of dynamic youth cultures and celebrate an age when creativity was flourishing in the music industry.
Looks like something went completely wrong!
