Silent Britain
In this pioneering BBC documentary, Matthew Sweet takes us on a journey through the the first three decades of British cinema. This enlightening documentary celebrates an extraordinary though vastly underrated period of film history, with film clips from the first British sex comedy in 1898 to the first talkie in 1929 - Hitchcocks 'Blackmail.' Features interviews with archivists, screenwriters, a silent film pianist and a veteran cinematographer, exposing the very British origins of arguably the most important art form of the twentieth century.
