Mixing high art and low art into a disgusting paste.

Quite unfit for women!

I recently ran across BFI’s youtube channel. There’s some pretty amazing stuff on there; old newsreels, early films, trailers from rare old movies… Here’s a few of my favourite clips:

Topical Budget newsreel:

Footage of Scott’s trip to the South Pole:

Jack Cardiff – Temples of India:

It’s been a while since I’ve updated this blog, and last time I updated it was the first time in a long time; but I have a month free of part time job responsibilities, and I’ve given myself at least a week off from uni work (although I have to get on with applying to jobs), so I’m going to at least try and get a few entries in before my time is completely eaten up again.

Since last time I posted I’ve taken up the position editor of the newly created creative section over at Durham student magazine The Bubble. It’s fairly exciting, if time consuming, and there’s been some really good submissions so far; I’d post some here, but I don’t want to show any favouritism (not that anyone is even aware that I have this blog), so go and peruse at will.
