The Early Years
Series looking at how home movie-making became a cultural phenomenon. This edition looks back to the very first examples of Scottish home movies.
Narrated by Richard Madden, this new four-part series is a warm and nostalgic look back at how home movie-making became a cultural phenomenon. From its beginnings in the 1920s as a new and exclusive hobby of the rich, to its 'hey-day' in the 60s and 70s when just about anyone could make a movie. In this episode, we look back to some of the very first examples of Scottish home movies. Whilst cinema itself was still in its infancy, the idea of making movies for yourself wasn't far behind. But early cine cameras were hand-cranked, mechanical and cumbersome. They were also expensive, too expensive for all but the wealthiest.
