Wot! No Art Trailers

Christopher Mason's documentary presents a retrospective of the arts in the immediate post-war years (1945-51), when patronage for 'public art' was intended to promote a cultural renaissance to complement that in education, health and housing. A dream of universal access to Britain's cultural heritage is shared, with use of archive newsreels, though can the dream be made reality or is art simply a luxury most can't afford?

Reviews
GazerRise Fantastic!
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
