Industrial Britain


Gran Bretagna industriale

These are the main points from Grierson's Manifesto on the poetics of filmmaking. He had been teaching a group of aspiring filmmakers which included people like Basil Wright, Edgar Anstey, Arthur Elton, Paul Rotha, Stuart Legg, all of whom went on to make some incredibly great documentaries. Flaherty's films turned up among those Grierson analized during those lectures.

Grierson himself, with reference to Moana, used the term "documentary" in its most original sense - a way to spread information, document human life, without neglecting sociological aspects; based on a crisp, clean style that is not in any way hampered by dramatics, lacking any trappings of the spectacular. It is not surprising then, that Grierson proposed the Empire Marketing Board's Film Unit project to Flaherty - that is, to make a film on the Midland factories. And Industrial Britain, a 22-minute documentary produced by Grierson, was born. It presents a myriad of factories and their activities, with concentration on the various production phases. Flaherty's eye, however, turns to the workers themselves and their struggle to persevere; he even touches upon the sense of alienation created by factory work. Grierson gave his approval for a documentary with a decidedly sociological slant, at the expense of a more ethnological stance in previous works. His unencumbered vision refuses all premeditated organization of the reality that becomes the scene; it's an unmasked meeting with a slice of reality none too thin. As Grierson remarked upon completion of the film, Flaherty brought a more humane component to English documentary making.
