Denis Mitchell

on BBC Two England

NEW Introducing a season
NEW of five films by one of the originators of the modern documentary, this is a retrospective look at the career of the late Denis
Mitchell. A pioneer of télé-verité and of the observational style that dispenses with commentary and narration, Mitchell took his cameras out of the studio and onto the streets to film what he called 'real people' - with dramatic results. He was also a great influence on many young film-makers who worked under him, including Michael Apted of 35 Up fame. Producer Steven Seidenberg
Followed by Morning in the Streets One of Mitchell's earliest films, this gentle, affectionate look at the back-street good humour of northern industrial cities, filmed on location in Liverpool and Manchester, won the Prix Italia in 1959.
