F.Y.I. (For Your Information)
30 Aug - 01 Sep 2012
F.Y.I. revisits public information films and government-commissioned films from 1930s to the year 2000. From the innovative early works of filmmakers in the GPO Film Unit to the horror-movie like TV warnings of the 1970s, it explores the role and responsibility of public information films in keeping British citizens informed while often allowing creative freedom for filmmakers. From experimental animation to informative musicals, these films all operate as social documents of the times.
F.Y.I. is the gallery's Monthly Do for August and sees Pump House Gallery becoming a Pop Up Public Info Cinema for three days with this exhibition and an outdoor Showtime Screening. It continues Pump House Gallery's commitment to exploring ideas of social and civic space.
F.Y.I. is part of the Mayor of London’s Showtime festival. With thanks to BFI for releases.
