This book sheds new light on the under-researched period of early
British cinema through an in-depth history of the British and
Colonial Kinematograph Company - also known as 'B&C'- in the
years 1908-1916, the period when it became one of Britain's leading
film producers. It provides an account of its films and
personalities, and explores its production methods, business
practices and policy changes. Gerry Turvey examines the range of
short film genres B&C manufactured, including newsworthy
topicals and comics, and series dramas, and how they often drew on
the resources of urban Britain's existing popular culture - from
cheap reading matter to East End melodramas. He discusses B&C's
first open-air studio in East Finchley, its extensive use of
location filming, and its large, state-of-the-art studio at
Walthamstow. He also investigates how the films were photographed
and 'staged', their developing formal properties, and how the
choice of genres shifted radically over time in an attempt to seek
new audiences.
