Realist Films By STUART LEGG Mr. Legg is a member of Associated Realist Film Producers, a group of directors interested in expanding the field of 'reai life films. A.R.F.P. is affiliated to the A.C.T. This article outlines the development and aims of this branch of production. The ancestor of the reahst fihii was the interest sliort. The function of the interest short was to pad out the programme as pleasantly as possible. For this purpose it concerned itself with pretty things ; it took you to famous beauty spots, it showed you the quaint and the out-of-theordinar}'. But it was essentially a postcard technique. It sought to reproduce what lay before the camera, with fidelity and an emphasis on the picturesque. Because it approached its material passively, it never took on film shape ; because it concerned itself with unimportant subjects, it never presented important issues. It achieved a standard of photograpliy and assembling consistent with the demands made on it, and then went into a decline. "B.B.C: THE VOICE OF BRITAIN.
