A documentary about the history of the Free Cinema movement, made by one of it's greatest proponents, Lindsay Anderson, to commemorate British Film Year in 1985. Produced by Kevin Brownlow and David Gill. Unlike Richard Attenborough's celebratory episode of the same series, or Alan Parker's more aggressive show, which was balanced between celebrating the greats and attacking Parker's bugbears, Greenaway and Jarman and the BFI, Anderson's show accentuates the negative, painting an image of a British cinema in terminal artistic decline and trashing the ambitions and approach of British Film Year itself. It's mordantly funny and very savage.

And Vanessa Redgrave stars in Tony Richardson’s romantic reverie and musical featurette 'Red and Blue'. Produced in 1967, but ultimately shelved.

Esta balada em três partes, que muitas vezes usa a música para substituir o diálogo, continua a ser a forma de realização mais perfeita da visão de Nemec de um mundo de filmes independentes da realidade. Montando uma defesa de indivíduos tímidos, inibidos, desajeitadas, e mal sucedidas, os três protagonistas são uma antítese completa dos heróis industriosos de estética socialista. Os Mártires do Amor consolidou a reputação de Nemec como o tipo desenfreado não-conformista do estabelecimento Comunista considerado o mais perigoso para a sua ideologia.

Won the Academy Award for the Best Documentary Short of 1954. The subject deals with the children at The Royal School for the Deaf in Margate, Kent.
