watch it: holiday clips from the BFI archives

A taste of what you can find through the BFI’s new Screen Archive UK, a sort of search engine for discovering Britain’s cinematic heritage. Check out the other clips showcases — dance and customs — and then have a wander yourself at Search Your Film Archives. (I searched on “police boxes” just for fun and found this fictional 1952 silent film.) It’s kinda like browsing through an encyclopedia, and just as addictive.

share and enjoy
