If you listened to episode 87 you’ll have heard my conversation with the British Film Institutes Douglas Weir. He’s Technical and Remastering lead there and does great work with his team to restore and release films from British classics to lost gems.
He invited me back to talk to him and his colleague Vic Pratt - film historian and Video Publishing Producer.
So I got together with them both at BFI Southbank last week to talk about some of their new projects.
One of their blu ray releases out this month is Short Sharp Shocks a wonderful collection of short films which… well I won’t say any more just now, you’ll hear everything about it in out conversation.
Just grab a glass of brandy, get a blanket and pull your chair closer to the fireplace. Enjoy.
