The National Archives goes to the movies

Trace the history of cinema in Britain through the collections of
The National Archives. From silent classics and lost masterpieces
to the controversial cult films of the 1970s, see how politicians
and civil servants grappled with the new medium and how the
government influenced film in Britain. What film made Marie Stopes
threaten the Home Office with legal action? Which groundbreaking
British cartoon was financed by the CIA and why did Sir Ranulph
Fiennes attempt to blow up the set of Dr. Doolittle? Joseph Pugh is
a member of the Education and Outreach team at The National
Archives. He has worked for a number of museums and galleries
including the National Portrait Gallery and the Petrie Collection
and for BBC History. His research interests include comics in the
1950s, how to win a duel and fainting in the 19th century.
