    This new resource is dedicated to digitising and providing access to the many films sponsored by the British Council from the 1930s up to the 1960s. At present fifteen films from the 1940s have been digitised and are now available for free online viewing. These documentaries reflect the work of great directors such as Mary Field (Development of the English Town), Philip Leacock/Paul Rotha (Island People) and Ken Annakin (London 1942), as well as an apprenticeship for future ones such as John Krish (editor of Election 1945). The films are designed to promote an exploration of the British Council archive as well as debate and discussion on, for example, the role of these films in the development of a British brand for overseas consumption and how this might have changed over the years. The site also features a wiki listing of all known British Council films by date, beginning with 1933, with the space for discussion.
