In the earliest years of the twentieth century, enterprising traveling showmen in the north of England hired pioneer filmmakers Sagar Mitchell and James Kenyon to shoot footage of local people going about their everyday activities. These films would be shown later at nearby fairgrounds, town halls and neighborhood theaters. Workers, school children, sports fans and seaside vacationers all flocked to see themselves miraculously captured on screen!
The astonishing discovery of the original Mitchell & Kenyon negatives in Blackburn - in a basement about to be demolished - has been described as films equivalent of Tutankhamens tomb. Preserved and restored by the BFI National Film and Television Archive in collaboration with the University of Sheffield National Fairground Archive and featuring a hauntingly beautiful score by In The Nursery, this treasure trove of extraordinary footage provides an unparalleled record of everyday life in the years before World War I. Mesmerizing scenes of trolley cars and crowded streets, soccer matches, temperance parades, throngs of workers leaving the factory and a myriad of simple pleasures transport us to another - lost - world. The effect is as if H.G. Wells' marvelous time machine had come to life.
The main feature is broken up into five themes as detailed below. There are two tracks available for the audio. The first includes a detailed and informative commentary by Vanessa Toulmin from the University of Sheffield. The second is just the score.

活过来的老照片,一直延伸的轨道,涌动的人潮,不经意的彩排,从四百击的海滩边跑出来追着镜头的男孩们,有点温馨的鬼片
