Britain at Bay

Monday 6th July to Tuesday 7th July
For many, British life in the inter-war years was characterised by a forward-looking idealism, an age in which tradition was celebrated and new ideas embraced.  Yet just as progress beckoned, the government had to prepare its citizens for the worst as the distant threat of war with Germany became a grim reality.  Britain at Bay is a programme of films from the BFI National Archive, some rarely screened, others rightly celebrated, that vividly capture the transition from optimism to high alert as the nation faced up to another momentous conflict.
