Reel Stories is a project set up and run by educational charity digital:works.
Working with the British Film Institute on the South Bank for this project which is part of our “Working London” series that explores and records the history of various aspects of work in London. Working with historians, local archives and digital-works staff, a team of volunteers were trained in research skills, oral history interviewing and recording skills.
The project has recorded 20 wonderful oral history interviews with some of London's cinema projectionists.
The interviews have been edited to make a documentary film and a series of podcasts. The full interviews and materials collected during this project will be deposited with the BFI Archives and Bishopsgate Intitute.
The project website houses all of the full interviews, the podcasts, the film and covers the progress of the project.
This project is run by digital:works with the support of British Film Institute.
We are grateful to the National Lottery Heritage Fund for their financial support.
