‘Create Incredible’’s latest guest is Doug Weir, who supervises film remastering and restoration at the BFI and was a key figure in releasing a recently restored version of the concert documentary 'Dance Craze' (1981), bringing to life footage of some of the most iconic British musical figures, like Madness and The Specials.
Two tone was a movement in the late 1970s born out of regional British cities under a period of economic turmoil, and was a take on the Ska music brought over by Jamaican immigrants in the 60s.
Doug takes us through the almost investigative like journey he underwent to put this film together with R3store studios and the joy he felt at seeing an audience finally dance along to this joyous piece of history at its premiere.
We also talk about why it so important to understand what the original film maker intended, Scotland’s film heritage, classism in the industry, and the future of restoration.
