Films by Humphrey Jennings

This Dual Format Edition completes the BFI's acclaimed Complete Humphrey Jennings Collection, making available all the films directed by Britain's greatest filmmaker available on Blu-ray and DVD

The films of Humphrey Jennings have proved hugely influential over the last 60 years - this can be felt in the works of Lindsay Anderson (If....) and more recent filmmakers, such as Kevin MacDonald (Touching the Void, Marley). Jennings was also a major influence for Frank Cottrel Boyce and Danny Boyle, whose 2012 Olympics ceremony used Jennings' book, Pandmonium, as its inspiration.
