The Movies & Memories DVD

Description

This two-disc DVD introduces you to a collection of film clips of West Sussex seaside towns and oral histories captured during the Heritage Lottery Funded ‘Movies and Memories’ project. The DVD is no longer available to purchase, but it can be accessed in libraries and archives in the West Sussex region. Sections of the DVD can now also be viewed online via the Movies and Memories collection on the Screen Archive South East online catalogue.
DVD summary

Disc One provides a selection of highlights from over fifty oral histories that were carried out during the project.  Some are combined with archive films from the region to form new compositions.

On Disc Two original film compilations screened at reminiscence sessions during the project are available to watch in full.  These feature everyday life, work, weddings, community celebrations and wartime footage between the 1920s and 1960s.

Screen Archive South East thanks all of its donors and depositors for enabling us to undertake this community work.  The Heritage Lottery Fund provided this project with key funding and support.
