NEILSON BAXTER BASIC FILMS LIMITED 18 SOHO SQUARE. LONDON, W.I GERRARD 7015 A MEMBER OF THE FEDERATION OF DOCUMENTARY FILM UNITS CONFIDENCE There is considerable alarm and despondency in the documentary world. Jittery sponsors, centralization of all Government film production in Crown, are rumoured to be bringing about the end of documentary as we have known it. We believe that much of this is unreal. Crises are nothing new in our industry. Pub-talk often magnifies them into disasters. But good and worthwhile documentary films will continue to be made, and we at DATA are determined to be among those who make them. DATA DOCUMENTARY TECHNICIANS ALLIANCE LTD 21 SOHO SQUARE, LONDON.
