Welcome to Shakespeare Land!
Travel back in time to a bygone Stratford-upon-Avon through the lens of the BFI's fascinating collection of travelogues. Spanning approximately 55 years (c. 1910-1964), these unique materials offer up various viewpoints: from a fragment of newsreel footage of St George鈥檚 Day celebrations to a sponsored film encouraging visitors to come to the town by railway (even though we don't see any trains!).
Features interviews with the RSC鈥檚 Gregory Doran and Ros Cranston, Non-Fiction Curator, BFI National Archive.
