The Lost World of Mitchell and Kenyon
Film Description Between 1900-1913, filmmakers Mitchell & Kenyon roamed Northern England, Scotland and Ireland filming the everyday lives of people at work and play. For 70 years, 800 rolls of this early nitrate film sat in sealed barrels in the basement of a local shop in Blackburn. Now miraculously discovered and painstakingly restored by the British Film Institute, this ranks as the most exciting film discovery of recent times.

Review by MovieMail on 9th June 2006 One of the most exciting film discoveries of recent times was made in 1994 when three sealed metal drums containing 826 films were found in the basement of a building that once belonged to the Edwardian film company Mitchell & Kenyon. Now cleaned up and restored by the bfi, we can see just what treasure was uncovered. Between 1900-1913, Sagar Mitchell & James Kenyon filmed the everyday lives of people at work and play in Northern England, Scotland and Ireland. We see the factory workers, the crowds and the parades, the football matches (including Manchester United's very first) the trams and trolley buses and are assailed by the ghosts of our past, which is indeed another country. An indispensable collection. View more reviews by MovieMail
