MovieMail Description:Features three films from the man described by Lindsay Anderson as perhaps 'the only true poet of the English cinema': Listen to Britain, Diary for Timothy (both from the newly-made BFI 2004 prints) and I Was a Fireman. In Listen to Britain, Jennings collects and edits the sounds and sights of wartime Britain into an extraordinarily moving and effective collage. Diary for Timothy is a film that is relevant for every generation and bears repeated viewings. The feature-length I Was a Fireman, the story of 24 hours in the life of a fire crew during the Blitz, is an innovative work that should be as iconic to British cinema as Vigo's L'Atalante is to French.
