- Synopsis:
This remarkable video collects together the full inventory of short hand-coloured features from the Pathé Pictorial archive. They showcase the remarkable natural beauty of Great Britain before the advent of colour film useage at the Pathé newsreels. Filmed and originally distributed in the early 1930s these early films were colourised using hand stencilling techniques to give the finished pieces a quite unique feel. They feature a newly constructed soundtrack using period recordings. This collection will appeal to all with an interest in the British countryside of yesteryear and offer a fascinating glimpse in into how places have changed. Films included: A Shropshire Gem, London's Lungs, Along the Tees, The Palace of Stuarts, Down the Rheidol Valley, Glimpses of York, When Henry I was King, The Board-Acred County, Lakeland Glimpses, In the West Country, Down in the Forest and The River... - Studio:
