Does anybody remember the short colour films produced by British Petroleum...GIUSEPPINA about a girl at her dad's petrol station in Italy...SKYHOOK about building an oil rig in Papua New Guinea...THE HOME-MADE CAR about a man who rebuilds a vintage car in Farnborough...think they might also have been shown on VISION ON into the 70s and in schools...films also sponsored by British industry like Crown paints, etc.
Some of these films were shown over 150 times on bbc2. What films did you get at school?

school programmes - i've got a song, a song to sing to you.
music box and the one minute countdown to schools tv. barnaby the bear. the potter's wheel interludes and the girl and doll testcards. i used to look at the bars in the testcard and see the distortions then when all the tv was finished you turned off the tv... and watch the white dot disappear? sometimes you put your finger on it and when you lifted it off it was gone? where'd it go? people after 1980 don't even know about the dot? they don't know... they need to know. get me the president on the hotline. |

my favourite short film - 25 minutes - i watch it regularly.
les bicyclettes des Belsize. It's not french. it's a short musical musicle? a guy in London in the seventies, on a bike spies a girl and stalks her. He'd be arrested today, but back then it was romance. might be on youtube in parts. very cute film and the tunes are FKin catchy. |
