| | Every Day Except Christmas
Cat No. DMDVD6179
Every Day Except Christmas is a rare opportunity to meet the characters and witness the sights and sounds at London’s iconic Covent Garden market in a bygone era. This ground-breaking and award-winning documentary is widely regarded as the cornerstone of the Free Cinema movement and pioneered a style of film making which continues to influence modern documentary production to this day.Made for the Ford Motor Company’s ‘Look at Britain’ series in 1957, Every Day Except Christmas was directed by Lindsay Anderson, who would go on to direct critically-acclaimed feature films including If…. and This Sporting Life. The observational style allows the viewer to become part of the journey as flowers, fruit and vegetables make their way to market, and watch as the stalls burst into life. Every Day Except Christmas introduced an innovative style of film-making, showing the dignity and diligence of working class Britain in the 1950s through improvised, atmospheric footage of real people going about their business – a style which modern reality TV owes much to. We see the produce making its way to London, meet the characters who prepare the stalls, experience the stillness of the twilight hours giving way to the hustle and bustle of the day, watch the buyers and sellers trade and truly share a unique taste of Covent Garden in 1957. Narration comes courtesy of Alun Owen, the actor and renowned screenplay writer responsible for penning such hits as The Beatles’ 1964 film A Hard Day’s Night. His commentary delivers a poetic quality, perfect alongside the evocative soundtrack of Daniel Paris. The excellence of Every Day Except Christmas was highly praised in its day – earning rave reviews after its showing at the National Film Theatre and winning the Grand Prix at the Venice Film Festival – and it remains an important piece of social history as well as a pioneering piece of film making.

| | Discover The Great Masters Of Art Beato Angelico
Cat No. DMDVD7088
Born at the dawn of the 15th century in the Italian region of Mugello, near the birthplace of Giotto, Beato Angelico was a central figure of the early Renaissance. A contemporary of Masaccio, he was deeply influenced by his lessons, not only in the conception of space, but also in the interpretation of the relationship between nature and faith. However, his interpretation of this relationship was less dramatic. For this reason, for a long time, his art was substantially underestimated and considered only to be the expression of a simple and devoted spirit. In this absorbing programme we rediscover the genius of an innocent, devout and hardworking painter whose work developed alongside changes in religion, politics and art. We visit the locations of his great works, and the places which shaped them – including Florence and Rome – and follow his career from a teen novice to a leading name in art, and the Domician movement.

Little is known of his early life, but his short stay in Florence in his 20s left an indelible mark on della Francesco, influencing his work throughout his career. This fascinating programme examines that important period and travels in the footsteps of the great painter as he travelled around Italy, leaving signs of his work in Rimini, Perugia, Urbino, Ferrara, Venice and Rome.
