EAST ANGLIA ON FILM
Documentaries, newsreels and home movies featuring the towns and cities, coastline and countryside of the East Anglia region.
THE CHRISTMAS SHOW
Films with a 'Christmas' theme.
A brochure containing a full list and description of the super 8 films is available on request.
16mm FILMS
As an alternative to a super 8 show, a range of films is also available on the 16mm gauge.
A 16mm film show has better picture quality and will give a brighter image, and is more suited to a larger sized room such as a village hall. The films on this gauge include documentaries, comedies, newsreels, musicals etc, and also home movies shot in the East Anglia region from the 1930s to the 1970s.
A separate brochure containing titles and descriptions of all the 16mm films is available on request.
HOME MOVIES
For clubs and societies more interested in local history, I can present a show consisting of home movies shot in the East Anglia region. These films date from the 1930s to the 1970s and are on 9.5mm, standard 8, super 8 and 16mm film.
Details of the 8mm home movies and the 16mm home movies are contained in the brochures. Stills from these films can be seen on the next page.
