- Title
Dust and Shadows ... A Progress Report.
- Authors
Russell, Patrick
- Abstract
This article considers postwar British documentary films in light of recent curatorial initiatives and wider historiographical issues. The article places the BFI's 2010 Shadows of Progress project in the context of a wider and substantial shift of perception of non-fiction film in the early twenty-first century, which has caused the canon of British documentaries to increase in size, scope and profile. The article argues that archivists, media producers and the general public have played at least as large a role in these developments as scholars of the documentary film. The article summarises some of the key features of postwar British documentary as it is now understood and mentions other aspects of postwar, and other, British factual film meriting future research.
