Widely considered one of Britain's greatest documentary filmmakers, Humphrey Jennings has long been critically acclaimed for films which beautifully evoke everyday heroism in times of war and peace. Combining poetic observation and humanism with a subtle yet intense national feeling that is also very personal, Jennings was a visionary and progressive patriot in the tradition of Williams Blake and Morris.

For the first time ever, The British Film Institute will release the complete films of Humphrey Jennings. The BFI's release of The Complete Humphrey Jennings is an important cultural event. Everyone who admires Jennings, all who love film, even anyone interested in England, will regard it as an essential purchase.

This, the first of three volumes, gathers 14 films from the period 1934-1940 and provides a fascinating insight into Jennings' early days as a filmmaker learning and developing his craft. It features the critically acclaimed Spare Time and London Can Take It! as well as some previously neglected works, many of which will be available for the first time since their original release.
