The programme in which the BBC hands over air time to the public. Tonight the Forest Hill Film Unit presents Hollywood SE23
'Our film unit started in 1969, when a third-year class made a documentary film about the dreams of both staff and pupils. Since then the pupils of Forest Hill School, working together as a creative team in which each boy's job is vital, has made over 50 films. We are now on location in Wales and apart from showing you some of our films from the past ten years, we hope you will see that the purpose and commitment that comes from working as a team is just as important as the films we make.'
Made with the help of the COMMUNITY PROGRAMME UNIT

Written, produced and directed by MICHAEL POWELL and EMEKIC PRESSBURGER. Concluding the season of distinguished films celebrating one of the most successful partnerships in British cinema. starring Deborah Kerr , Sabu David Farrar , Flora Robson
At the invitation of the local Indian ruler, five Anglo-Catholic nuns establish a school and hospital in a disused harem perched on a mountain pinnacle in tne Himalayas. But the nuns are unable to cope with the sensuous atmosphere of their surroundings and the intrusive male presence of the local English agent ... Of all the Powell-Pressburger films, this one has the most ravishing use of colour photography in its unique creation of an exotic Eastern locale in the studio.
