A Series of DVDs Celebrating the Midlands through Moving Image
MACE has been working with the Lincoln School of Media at the University of Lincoln on a series of nine DVDs which profile
the people,places, history and culture of some of the cities and counties of the Midlands.
We have already released the first of these titles, Nottingham on Film in December 2011, Rebuilding Coventry, Made in Leicester and Derbyshire on Film will follow early in 2012 . Further titles showcasing the range of material held at MACE will cover Lincoln & Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Shropshire and Birmingham. A further title, yet to be confirmed will profile either The Black Country or Worcestershire
Growing out of the varied material in the collections, many topics and themes are explored across the series: Industry and farming; cityscapes (including the rebuilding of Coventry and redevelopment of Birmingham) and the region’s rural landscapes; And of course home and community life, including the celebrations such as the Coronation in 1953 and the Silver Jubilee in 1977, all reflecting the changing world in which we live.
The production of these nine DVDs was made possible by the generous financial support of EM Media through the UK Film
Council’s Digital Film Archive Fund.
Further details on some of these titles will be uploaded to our online shop in the coming weeks and you will be able to click ‘NOTIFY ME’ to be emailed when they become available.
