Two Screenings 6-30pm and 8-30pm.
Cinematography: Geoffrey Malins, John McDowell
A silent documentary originally shown at British cinemas to huge audiences whilst the battle still raged in summer 1916. Very much an establishment production, it was intended as a patriotic propaganda film; the images of death and the frank captions are however surprisingly graphic. The film will be accompanied by an audio experience and short introductory talk.
