Description: Review of Visions of Change - The Evolution of the British TV Documentary. Volume I: BBC 1951 - 1967, published by the British Film Institute (BFI). During the 1950s and 1960s, a new generation of filmmakers reinvented documenary-making at the BBC. They transformed a staid and static genre inot a bold, dramatic medium. BFI's selection starts with John Read's profile of Henry Moore, one of the first modern arts documentaries. Shot on location, in the open air, it highlights the timeless majesty of Moore's sculptures. It is I believe the first TV portrait of a living artist" says BFI's National Archive Curator Lisa Kerringan. "They wanted to make it in the studio but his work was too big"."
