Thread Name: Short film from Doc Rowe's collections
Subject: RE: Short film from Doc Rowe's collections
Brilliant documentary, aimed at attracting the innocent eye not the committed participant. I don't care if it does look daft you will have to spend a least 30+ years observing these events and just be there to begin to understand what it is all about, just as Doc has done. All of us who are involved in the preservation and development of British Traditional (and not so traditional) Customs should be very grateful to Doc for dedicating his life to the preservation of both the visual and audio images of the diverse events which encapsulate British culture. It is oh so easy to knock a very short insight to 30+years of work. Just travel the 22 miles over the channel and see just how bizarre some of the events our continental cousins get up to. Come to Britain and experience some of these events, but don't get in the way – enjoy. Brian
