Very good/lots to enjoy
Synopsis
Historian Roger Kitchen, from Living Archive, has compiled a collection of documentary films made in the Milton Keynes Area over the last 70 years. They chart the changing landscape and stories as a collection of villages becomes the “city” Milton Keynes.
Review
Living Archive, a local charity which collects, preserves and shares the history and heritage of Milton Keynes, have collated a series of films to build up a picture of how Milton Keynes came to be.
The images, of course, are irreplaceable and unique, coming in some cases from the cameras of local people themselves.
But rather than just looking good, they have an effect too. The films stirred memories in the audience at the most recent screening, held in conjunction with the Stony Scala Film Club and the MK Community Foundation, for there was much hushed chatter from people at the nearly sold-out screening.
The film is an excellent summary of where our city came from and should be required viewing for any newbies to MK.
The film has been doing the rounds in the district recently, but there is another screening scheduled in Olney on Friday 17 April. For details of this, see: http://www.ic-mk.org/?p=1751
