A wonderful film on the painter Brenda Chamberlain, and her time spent on Bardsey Island:
There is a humanity at play in many of the films on this resource, a very different feel to how artists, and the people around them, responded to the medium of film recordings in earlier times. There is something to be explored within all of this, the provincial settings and how things were encountered and recorded. A series of very early silent film documentaries chimes with all of this. It is interesting to experience the short moment at the next link - workers exiting a textiles mill in Pendlebury. Followed by LS Lowry painting at home, some 70 years later, and the people and surroundings he recorded in paint.
