Mitchell & Kenyon was a late Victorian and Edwardian film company based in Blackburn, Lancashire. Now miraculously rediscovered and restored, their films provide an amazing visual record of everyday life at the beginning of the 20th century, including some of the earliest films of football matches. This special programme sheds light on the little known world of Edwardian football, offering a fascinating insight into the sport at a crucial stage of its development.

Accompanied by a talk by Dr Vanessa Toulmin, a leading authority on the collection.

A BFI programme in association with Bristol Silents.

Fee: £6.00 full / £4.00 concs & Bristol Silents members.
