Derek Jacobi - The GPO film unit (part1)

Introduction

The General Post Office may seem an unlikely source for some of the most creative British filmmaking of the 1930s, but with a talent roster including W.H. Auden, Benjamin Britten, Alberto Cavalcanti, Humphrey Jennings, Len Lye, Norman McLaren and J.B. Priestley, that's exactly what it was.

Here, Sir Derek Jacobi presents an extensively illustrated interactive guide to the history of the GPO Film Unit, with clips ranging from well-known classics like Night Mail (1936) to rarer but equally sparkling gems.

P.S. I chose wrong answers to show you how the whole thing works...I'm not really that stupid! :))

No, it is not interactive. You were just lucky.
