Picture perfect landscape, place and travel in British cinema before 1930

British filmmakers knew from the earliest days of the cinema that the British countryside was one of their greatest assets. Following a pictorial and pastoral tradition they reinforced the mythology of the British rural idyll in a way peculiarly suited to the moving image. Other traditions may have inspired them to explore the seamier side of British life in the towns and cities.

  • "The British cinema has drawn extensively on the national landscapes. This title covers topics such as: the 'violent realism' of Edwardian cinema; urban and rural landscapes in film publicity; pictorialism in Hepworth's features and 'actualities'; encounters between urban and rural in British film; the popular genre of the racing drama; and more."@en
