A perfect companion to Dartmoor is Silent Britain, a feature-length documentary produced by the British Film Institute that celebrates this newly-rescued golden age of British filmmaking. Hosted by Matthew Sweet, it spans from such early pioneers as George Albert Smith and Cecil Hepworth to such later figures as Asquith, Maurice Elvey and, of course, Hitchcock. Featuring clips from a remarkable range of films, Silent Britain is the perfect means to reacquaint oneself with early British film history or discover it for the first time.
