Every now and then our Secretary pleads that our advertisement should bleakly state : Realist Film Unit does not sell or loan films. That and nothing else — to save the time and postage of enquirers and ourselves. This is usually sidetracked into reflections about the garbled versions of our name on some of the envelopes — such as ‘Realism Ltd’, ‘Real Films’, ‘the Reality Film Unit’ . . . However, as it’s the New Year, we give in and publish the plea: wondering, nevertheless, what an enquirer can do to discover the whereabouts of films we’ve made, except to write to Realistic-I-think-it-was , and ask.
