Bows Against the Barons
As a child I was read the book "Bows Against the Barons". As a film maker I always wanted to make it into a movie. I made this pilot, Sadly I could not get funding bodies to even watch this first 10 minutes. Bows Against the Barons is a 1934 children's novel by British author Geoffrey Trease, based on the legend of Robin Hood. It tells the story of an adolescent boy who joins an outlaw band and takes part in a great rebellion against the feudal elite. It is great because it had a very realistic view of a real peasant's revolt. You cant see the film but read the book.

Burbiszki - Ode to Nature
Переглядів 594Рік тому
No sex, no plot, just beauty! A visual movie without words. In the tradition of films like “Koyaanisqatsi”, “The Tree of Life” and going back even further “Berlin Symphony of a Great City”. . Moving pictures to music is considered “pure cinema”. The idea to look closely but see far. To see the infinite in the local. Nature inspired the composers and the music has inspired the film maker. Music ...

Made in 1969 a documentary about Cardiff's development plan. I was 18 and wanted to be a filmmaker. A rather boring subject chosen because I was a bus conductor at the time. Interesting now because then there were very few film cameras and even fewer in Cardiff. Interesting to see everyday scenes and the state of some of the housing. #Cardiff #1969 #transport #cityplanning #wales #archive #bus ...

Her parents had died several years earlier and so was alone. She was supported by the State and went on to study Sociology and Film Production. I shot this after becoming her friend, we kept meeting in cinemas, we both loved films. I ...

Wapping - The Worker's Story
Переглядів 2623 роки тому
A modern day Citizen Kane, told from the worker's point of view. The story of a strike / lockout caused by tycoon Murdoch sacking 6000 of his workers to increase profits. The film exposes the deep and enduring immorality at the heart of the News International Empire. The defeat of this workers strike led to the falling wages and corporate control of the media of today. The loss of this historic...

'Promo sm'
So glad I found this. I attended the Foundation course there in the late 70s . Fresh out of school, this earnest, intellectual and maybe pretentious approach to the exciting new world of ART made my head spin! John Berger's 'Ways of Seeing' was compulsory reading and the college encouraged freedom and experimentation.
Piękny film! Z przyjemnością wracamy do Burbiszek z daleka siedząc przed telewizorem.
Thank you for opening up this insight into the past, these sorts of films are rare to come by, and even more so to have them uploaded in digital.
Fantastic, thanks for sharing this!
The poor old BBC leftie trying to make out that the Poles wanted "socialism." :-)
Poland once again has to stand up to attempts to destroy its independence and sovereignty.
Unfortunate that British documentaries are commonly filled with balderdash fluff... and rarely ever come to approaching the point thoroughly
I'd love to watch this but I am in Egypt so don't have the ability to subscribe or buy this video. I well remember this. I was living in London at the time. He sacked 5000 workers just like that. Awful.
If you send me your address I can send you a DVD maximford51 AT gmail.com
Piękne!
Dziękuję
Proszę bardzo.
Thanks for sharing!
It's too loud it hurts my ears...
Anyone know when this came out?

February 1985. The Full title of the programme is "Pictures of Poland: The Road to Gdansk" broadcast on Channel 4
Ładne motywy.
Wycisz te pierdolone organki. Lepiej by człowiek pociągu posłuchał.
Orwowska taśma 16mm czy 8mm nie miała miejsca na ścieżkę zapisu toru audio. Super 16 oraz Super 8 średnio dostępne wtedy w Polsce miały już ścieżkę toru audio.
Ta muzyczka właśnie nadaje super klimat :)
What year is this documentary from? I get the feeling that this was before the collapse of Communism?
1983
I would like to study this adaptation to publish an article. Why was it produced? Which was the purpose?
This was a film I shot and directed when I was at the Polish Film School. It was made as part of my school work

Not exactly the model name, but look up Teresa Fashion Fever satin safari doll
znakomity materiał
Good animation
Excuse me but Barbie is for kids. You are confusing kids. If you want to make girls lesbian or sexual active is your problem. Fuck you all.
Documentary made by Soviet sympathizers - another example of historical falsification.
Dont worry the US corporations control all media now.
A typically aloof paean to Socialism.
is it BBC?
Channel four, back when they made serious films
amazing perspective
To super jest!
polish people live in Poland and have polish culture - wow what a statement. only an English can have such a big revelation :)
Wrong dot placement on the map. It should be on the south-east part of Poland :)
At the time we got on the railway in Kiece but the network took us a long way, I never really knew where we were, and I doubt if I could work it out to today....but you are right
This is a really good documentary, thanks for sharing it.
AGAIN NO mention of the Poles holding Germany to ransom over access across their land corridor to the sea,which was the REAL reason war broke out.Whether the Poles did this under advice from the British,so as to force Germany to act is a grey area.Though the Poles and the British ignored and declined ALL of Germany's offers of peaceful reconciliation pre and post the 1st September "Invaison".The Poles had been trying to ethnically cleanse that are for decades,the population being in the majority ethnic Germans.The area being part of Germany pre WW1.What better way to empty an area of it's populace than to start a war over it.Not only that but the brits were looking for ANY excuse to attack Germany after getting egg on their face after the Czechoslovakia incident.It was ALL TOO CONVENIENT for BOTH sides that it should happen this way. Britain and France had the very naive that Germany would be a push over militarily,how VERY wrong they were. WW2 could have been avoided at any one of over 40 opportunities pre and post the "invaison" into the Polish land corridor.Britain and France CHOSE otherwise.
+silver760 And in the name of PEACE : can we have corridor from Warsaw to Paris please !!
+silver760 Germany should be considered lucky that it still exists as a state. Germany started 2 world wars and lost both of them. The world was kind enough to let you exist as a country. I know that Germany would not be as kind. If you think that the corridor was the reason for WWII then I'm afraid you have much to learn.
F*ck off with your "peaceful offer of reconciliation" from nazis. You're not welcome anymore.
Brilliant.

What a great doco about modern polish history! Thank you Mr. ford for sharing it with all of us!
This is a really wonderful documentary! Thanks alot for uploading this beautiful piece of history!
Fascinating video, thanks for sharing it with the rest of us. God bless Poland.
A truly glorious film. The atmosphere and music reminds me of that other narrow gauge classic film "Railway With A Heart Of Gold". (Also on UA-cam!) I have featured the film on "Behind The Water Tower" today. What a pity so much of the network is gone :-(
Breathtaking! The Jędrzejów narrow-gauge system in it's glory, no-one ever thought that one day it would be nearly completely gone, with little remain being used during summer season...
