The COI Collection Volume 5: Portrait of a People

The fifth volume in the COI Collection - Portrait of a People - reviews a patriotic strand of COI film making on the theme of Britain and, more importantly, its people. From encouraging immigration to re-defining the nation, the titles on these discs present, by turns, an affectionate, revealing and stirring depiction of what it means to be an inhabitant of This Sceptred Isle . Highlights include: Oxford (1958), a look at the traditions and students of Oxford University; Dateline Britain: Look at London (1958), broadcaster Bernard Braden takes us on a tour of London; The Poet s Eye (1964), how Britain and its people inspired Shakespeare; Opus (1967), Don Levy s provocative look at contemporary British art, fashion and design.
