History
Panorama was intended to promote the activities of various ICI branches to the company’s workers, and in doing so, to bring the divisions together. Each issue lasted around 18 minutes and usually featured around four stories ranging from the manufacture of cardboard packets for washing soda to use of explosives in quarrying. The series was the internal side of the extensive ICI film production programme and was shown in after-hours mobile shows in works’ canteens, theatres and local halls for employees. It was also available on free loan to the public through the ICI Film Library. Twelve issues of Panorama were made between 1951 and 1956.
