- History
- People and Places, also known as Arab Televiews, was made by Kinocrat Films on behalf of the Central Office of Information for the Foreign Office. This series consisted of thirteen minute black and white films, each covering a different aspect of British life such as HOME NURSE, issue no. 6, BRITISH POLICEMAN, issue no. 8 and LEARNING IN BRITAIN, issue no. 11. Ali Nour usually presented these films in Arabic but occasionally by Hannah Jamil or Hassan Massudi would introduce them.
- Provenance
- The data for this series was compiled from the following sources: the COI catalogue cards held at BFI Footage Sales, the COI monthly divisional reports (INF 8) and production documents (INF 6) held at The National Archives and the British National Film Catalogue 1963. There is no record of the actual release date, in terms of day and month, for issues of People and Places. Where there is a month and year mentioned, this comes from the completion date mentioned in either the production documents, the date which the show copy was approved or the COI monthly division reports for the period. The year release date has been calculated from these.
