The National Film Theatre, 1964
Loading...
Uploaded by BFIfilms on Oct 21, 2011
This extract from the 1964 short 'South Bank' offers a tantalising glimpse inside the National Film Theatre over four decades before its reinvention as BFI Southbank. Film-goers emerge from the latest Godard offering and Jeanne Moreau gazes down from the poster board: a nice touch of continuity in an area of London that has continued to evolve well into the 21st century. (Simon McCallum)

Wow people were a lot older then!

fascinating looking at the differences between then and now. from the images here, back in 1964 the nft looked like a temple to european art cinema. now the bfi seems to be all about the latest films at the imax and is almost apologetic about 'quality' cinema.

Better surveillance cameras back then in 1964 huh!

She really looks like an italian actress, Lea Massari. Is it she?

The days when gentlemen wore suits to the cinema and smoked un-filtered cigarettes!

Just my thoughts - when men knew how to dress and you could still smoke in public.
