For the first time, all of Humphrey Jennings’ remarkable films are being newly remastered to High Definition and released by the BFI on three volumes in Dual Format Editions.
Volume Two of The Complete Humphrey Jennings, which is out on 23rd April, gathers together five films from 1941 to 1943, including the iconic Words for Battle and Listen to Britain, that show Jennings at the peak of his tragically short but outstanding career.
From the rousing call to arms of The Heart of Britain and Words for Battle to the poetic evocation of daily life during wartime in Listen to Britain and the powerfully resonating drama of Fires Were Started and The Silent Village, the films included in this volume offer a lyrical portrait of the nation at war and a moving celebration of Britishness.
