Created in 1933 out of the ashes of the Empire Marketing Board Film Unit, the GPO Film Unit was one of the most remarkable creative institutions that Britain has produced. A hotbed of creative energy and talent, it provided a spring board to many of the best-known and critically acclaimed figures in the British Documentary Movement, including John Grierson, Alberto Cavalcanti, Humphrey Jennings, Basil Wright, Harry Watt, Edgar Anstey and Arthur Elton, alongside innovators and experimentalists such as Len Lye and Norman McLaren. Their work embraced, public information drama-documentary, social reportage, animation, advertising and many points in between. The BFI National Archive, in partnership with the British Postal Heritage Museum, Royal Mail and British Telecom, has preserved and curated the legendary output of short films produced by the GPO Film Unit.

This, the second of three volumes, covers the period 1936-1938 and represents the GPO Film Unit at its creative height - including much-loved classics such as Night Mail, the experimental animations of Len Lye and Norman McLaren, and Harry Watts' first forays into drama-documentary with 'The Saving of Bill Blewitt' and 'North Sea' as well as other neglected works, many of which will be available for the first time since their original release.

Unfinished Piece for the Player Piano / Neokonchennaya pyesa dlya mekhanicheskogo pianino / Неоконченная пьеса для механического пианино (1977) DVD9 RUSCICO

Neokonchennaya pyesa dlya mekhanicheskogo pianino 1977
The film is based on the works by Russian writer Anton Chekhov. This is a picture of life of the Russian gentry in the late 19th century. Without a grain of sentimentality, the director reveals the moral bankruptcy of his heroes. A village teacher, Platonov, is undergoing an emotional crisis. He believes his life has had no purpose. He is tormenting both himself and his young wife, Sashenka. The film's another protagonist – Doctor Terletsky – hates his patients and his work. The guests staying with a general's wife, Anna Petrovna, are talking about the pleasures of a simple village life, not really believing what they are saying. The retro style chosen by the director and the masterly cinematography (a credit to Nikita Mikhalkov's permanent cameraman – Pavel Lebeshev) combine to make this film a real treasure for the lovers of Russian classics. Played in the film is the music by G. Donizetti, F. Liszt, S. Rachmaninov.

Africa – Eye to Eye with the Unknown (2013) 2 x DVD9 + DVD5 Complete Series

Africa - Eye to Eye with the Unknown (2013) 2 x DVD9 + DVD5 Complete Series
Are we living in a golden age of nature documentaries? In recent years, we've been treated to quite a few visually stunning nature-themed television productions that have won great acclaim from critics and viewers alike. The BBC has been doing particularly exceptional work in this area, offering such rich endeavors as The Blue Planet, Planet Earth, Life and Frozen Planet. All of these productions have boasted jaw-dropping visuals, rich orchestral music, thought-provoking depth and the expert narration of David Attenborough. These are series that have managed to find an appealing balance between the sort of scientifically-driven purposefulness of the fuzzy, methodical nature docs of yesteryear and the slick entertainment value that is emphasized by so many modern nature shows. Can now add Africa: Eye to Eye with the Unknown to the list of exceptional BBC Nature docs.

553 cameras. 100 days on horseback. 6,526 anti-malarial tablets. Just under 50 tons of kit carried. Executive producer and Primetime Emmy-nominee Michael Gunton and his team of dedicated filmmakers utilized all of this and more to bring you Africa. Four years in the making across 27 countries, Africa is the latest landmark Discovery Channel/BBC co-production to combine groundbreaking technology and dedicated filmmaking to produce a view into this mystifying continent as you've never seen it before. Narrated by renowned naturalist Sir David Attenborough, this extraordinary series takes you to epic, never-before-seen locations and captures the incredible new behaviors of the creatures that struggle to survive in a ever-changing continent.

The Train Has Stopped / Ostanovilsya poyezd / Остановился поезд (1982) DVD5
In this drama with socio-political nuances, a heroic engineer is able to save the passengers on his train from injury or death by sacrificing his own life when his locomotive crashes. An investigator (Oleg Borisov) and Malinin, a journalist (Anatoli Solonitsin) are both involved in the story of the crash but from two different angles: the investigator wants to find out why it happened, the journalist wants to laud the heroism of the dead engineer. In the end, the investigator discovers that the responsibility for the disaster lies with a series of people, officials and others, who made significant errors that added up to a fatality. The question is in the end, whose story will see the light of day -- the investigator's or the journalist's? This was Anatoli Solonitsin's last film, as the actor died of cancer in June of 1982. He was the favorite actor of the critically-acclaimed director Andrei Tarkovsky, who had been hoping to cast Solonitsin in his next work, Nostalghia.

Get Ready to Be Boyzvoiced 2000
Get Ready to Be Boyzvoiced is a 2000 Norwegian mockumentary about a fictional boy band called Boyzvoice.
The band is a three-piece vocal group dominated by their utterly untalented lead singer "M*Pete". When they are caught lip-synching before the release of their first album, scandal erupts (fed also by their manager's physically assaulting an elderly male and an elderly female member of the Salvation Army and the revelation that M*Pete's 16 year-old girlfriend is actually only 12) and they are dropped by their record company. They consider leaving the music industry, but their manager gets them a sponsorship deal with a Norwegian fish finger manufacturer. Ultimately they bounce back to fame after an appearance at the HitAwards Norwegian music awards show.

A Midnight Clear (1992) DVD9

A Midnight Clear 1992
In this screen adaptation of William Wharton's 1982 novel, writer and director Keith Gordon reveals war to be a dirty trickster. Knott (Ethan Hawke), the youthful narrator, leads his five-man intelligence unit into the Ardennes forest in December 1944. They have orders to set up an observation post in a deserted chateau. To insulate themselves against the insanity of combat, they have created a family with a "Father" (Frank Whaley), a former seminarian, and a "Mother" (Gary Sinise), a worrier they try to protect from further battle fatigue. They have games to keep themselves occupied as well as a "no obscenity" rule.
Much to the family's surprise, the German soldiers in the area have also lost their zest for fighting. They throw snowballs at the Americans rather than grenades and at Christmas sing carols in front of a decorated tree. They even have a plan that will enable them to surrender with dignity.
Unfortunately, things don't go as planned.

Jeremy (Mark Kelly) and Mark (Steve Zissis) are middle-aged brothers who haven't spoken to each other in years. Their falling-out happened in the wake of a competition they created as teenagers. The event was called "The Do-Deca-Pentathlon," an athletic event in which the brothers would compete in 25 sports ranging from pool to boxing to go-cart racing to ping-pong. The conclusion of the contest (and who actually won) was hotly debated for quite some time, and it caused a permanent rift between the siblings. Now, the two find themselves reunited at their mother's house for a weekend.

Mark is now a responsible working adult with a wife (Jennifer Lafleur, Baghead) and son (Reid Williams), and initially resists Jeremy's attempts to draw him into conflict. However, before long the two brothers find themselves recreating the ridiculous athletic challenges of t heir youth. Who will win the Do-Deca-Pentathlon and earn the coveted position of Better Brother for All Eternity?

3 Films by Louis Malle: Le souffle au coeur / Murmur of the Heart (1971), Lacombe Lucien (1974), Au revoir les enfants (1987) 4 x DVD9 Criterion Collection

3 Films by Louis Malle: Le souffle au coeur / Murmur of the Heart (1971), Lacombe Lucien (1974), Au revoir les enfants (1987) 4 x DVD9 Criterion Collection
Perhaps more than any other director, Louis Malle is ripe for a critical reassessment. His films and career have been criminally underrated by the French because he's an oddball. As a filmmaker, Malle existed in two worlds: one of French independence, the other of American gloss. A postwar director who doesn't belong to the school of the New Wave, Malle had the audacity to cross the Atlantic and find success in Hollywood with films like Pretty Baby, Atlantic City, Damage, and Vanya on 42nd Street. Yet he also made films like Zazie dans le Metro, The Thief, May Fools, and the three pictures included in this boxed set, all vibrant with the independent spirit of French cinema. Malle and his work aren't easily categorized.

Few directors have portrayed the agonies and epiphanies of growing up as poetically – and scandalously – as Louis Malle. Laced with autobiographical details, Murmur of the Heart; Lacombe, Lucien; and Au revoir les enfants tell stories of youth, set against the tumult of World War II and postwar France. Controversial, tragic, amusing, and poignant, these three films are not just coming-of-age stories but the director's ongoing response to a world gone wrong, revealing his true nature as rebel.

See individual titles for plot synopses.
