STEEL: A CENTURY OF STEELMAKING ON FILM
FolIowing the acclaimed box sets covering the history of Britain's coal mining and shipbuilding industries, the BFl turns its focus on the nation's steel industry.
This comprehensive double DVD box set features 20 rare documentaries, short fiIms and animations charting the story of steeI. Among the material is footage of the intrepid construction of the New Tyne Bridge in 1928 with music by Jazzfinger and the rediscovered 1945 fiIm SteeI, shot in Technicolor by award-winning cinematographer Jack Cardiff, it chronicIes the visualIy spectacuIar process of making steel, from the iron ore to the steelworks.
While steelmaking may not have acquired the popular mythology of coaImining or shipbuilding, its pivotaI roIe at the heart of British industry is unrivaIIed, and provided some evocative and poetic subject matter for fiImmakers throughout the twentieth century. The films on this set bring aIive the stories of the communities shaped by their steeIworks, and offer a richIy fascinating and often surprising view of a largeIy vanished way of life. For miIlions of peopIe this isn t just Britain's 'industriaI heritage', it's their famiIy history.
This set incIudes a comprehensive iIIustrated bookIet with fiIm notes and essays by BFl curators and a foreword by Mark Miodownik.
