Most leading documentarians in Britain today are women. The Camera is Ours tells the story of some of the key female pioneers of the British documentary movement beginning in the 1930s and culminating in the late sixties. It's a story that is beautifully captured in the collections held by the BFI National Archive, now available to audiences via this new collection.
This 2-disc set will feature a selection of films made between 1935 and 1967, newly remastered in partnership with The Film Foundation and featuring directors including Marion Grierson, Ruby Grierson, Jill Craige, Evelyn Spice, Sarah Erulkar, Margaret Thomson and Kay Mander.
