Reel Britannia
Channel: BritBox
TX Time: 00h01
Genre: Documentary Series
This visually striking documentary series tells the colourful story of modern British cinema.
Decade by decade, across four episodes spanning 1960 through to 2010, it portrays how British cinema held up a mirror to society, reflecting the youth revolution of the 1960s, the grit of the 1970s, the social divide of the 1980s, the new hope of the 1990s and the disillusionment of the noughties.
The series also focuses on the outsiders and influencers whose work reflected what was actually happening in the regional and subcultural recess of the British psyche.
Another area Reel Britannia explores is the less-told stories from the producers, production companies and studio boardrooms which shaped our national filmic identity.
Reel Britannia is a patchwork of brand-new exclusive interviews, archival interviews and behind-the-scenes footage.
The story is told using a free-flowing mixture of contemporary and historical material, which explains not just the work itself, but the influence it went on to have in subsequent decades of filmmaking.
With brand new interviews from Terry Gilliam, Stephen Frears, Hanif Kureishi, Mike Newell, Ken Loach, Simon Beaufoy, David Leland, Mike Leigh, Terence Davies, David Puttnam, Steve Woolley, Sally Potter and Gurinder Chadha.
