The greatest global cinema on demand

Sophisticated, smart and surreal, this Courtaulds’ fashion show ventures well beyond the confines of the catwalk.

A tour that begins with spinning wool and ends with a room full of women, not typing, but silently hand knitting the fashions of swinging London.

Sedate cars drive by the Stray at Harrogate, where stately ladies serenely walk, while a lonely woman in a glides by in a punt at Knaresborough.

“If there’s music in yer, it has to come out”. But northern brass bands, as this film testifies, reveal so much more about working class life than its innate creativity.

Animation narrated by Tim McInnerny, set in London in the wake of a terrible war. A lonely old blind man receives three unexpected visitors, and tragedy follows.

"Toss your caber with hardy Highlanders at the 1952 Shotts Highland Games and march down Main Street with clan Chieftains during an ancient parade in this lively local topical."
