Director: Claude Friese-Greene

Description
------------------
In the summer of 1924 Claude Friese-Greene, a pioneer of colour cinematography, set out from Cornwall >>
with the aim of recording life on the road between Land's End and John O'Groats. Entitled The Open Road, >>
his remarkable ground-breaking travelogue was conceived as a series of shorts, 26 episodes in all, to >>
be shown weekly at the cinema.

The original negatives were deposited with the BFI for preservation in the late 1950s. Now the BFI National >>
Archive has restored a special compilation of highlights from the journey, using digital intermediate >>
technology (the Archive's first such project) to remove the technical defects of the original.

The Open Road is important both as a landmark in the development of colour on film but also as a >>
fascinating social record of inter-war Britain. The journey, from Land's End to John O'Groats and back >>
to London, was made in a Vauxhall D type. The travelogue format provided the ideal way to profile the >>
colour process because the natural world was more of a challenge than the contrived studio set. Iconic >>
landmarks would be instantly recognisably to the audience, and today the audience has the opportunity >>
to revisit those locations and assess similarities and changes that have taken place.

The film is presented here with a new score by Neil Brand - world-renowned composer and silent film >>
accompanist on piano - and equally renowned violinist and silent film accompanist Gunter Buchwald.
