Incredible footage about the police and protest, from local news, police instruction archives, and amateur film. Sometimes shocking, sometimes humorous and downright surreal, these films present a slice of history, as well as food for thought and for action!
The programme includes:
- Rare footage from police instruction films
- News films of protest coverage
- Protest footage from the last Conservative Government including with Miners Strikes
- Footage of the 1968 Grosvenor Square Riots
- And a little gem called "School Protest Over "Too Much Discipline" " (3 minutes) - a brilliant juxtaposition of a patronising news reporter with a young boy, who comes across as a bit of a school hero!

The Daydreaming archivist is a series of selections from the Northern Regional Film and TV Archive made by Film Bee collective. In this 2nd archive screening we explore the amazing ephemera that we could not make fit a theme. Commercials, Community and Amateur film and Television News sit side by side like siblings in a bathtub sharing a strain of humour, insight and the benefit of hindsight. These are unique artifacts you will almost certianly never have the opportunity to see again.
