Subsidising the Arts
Laurie Taylor presents two films on this provocative subject made from deeply opposed positions.
Geoff Chase, an engineering lecturer from Welwyn Garden City, argues that
'The arts and entertainment should not be paid for by public money.'
Support comes from Roy Hudd, George Gale and, in trenchant mood, Kingsley Amis.
Taking the opposing view is Jenny Topper, Director of the Bush Theatre in London's Shepherd's Bush. The film made under her editorial control is a visually rich celebration of all that the subsidised arts have to offer. Enthusiastic endorsement comes from an 'all-star' cast, including Simon Rattle, Simon Callow and Julie Walters.
Both films have been made with the help of the BBC Community Programme Unit.
