Wonderful London 1924 & 2014

Wonderful in 1924 and 2014In 1924, Harry B. and Frank documented London in a fantastic series of short films, known as “Wonderful London”. Over the last few months, I have stood in their foot-steps, recapturing their shots exactly, and have blended the two together creating a through time.

The used is Symphony No. 4 by Gustav Mahler

The recording is credited to Jones

Wonderful London is available on from the BFI here.

Making this short follows my previous film “London in 1927 and 2013” tracing the footsteps of Claude Friese-Greene. It can be found here.
