ShortsHD to Offer Vintage Jubilee Programming

LONDON: ShortsHD has aligned with the British Film Institute (BFI) to offer a series of short vintage films and documentaries spotlighting Queen Elizabeth II and Britain during her era.

Vintage Jubilee Shorts is a collection of memorable and influential shorts made in Britain between 1930 and 1970. These films showcase a range of issues in Britain, ranging from health and education to the country’s role at large with skill, imagination and filmmaking. ShortsHD is also honoring the BFI with a special Shorts Award for significant contributions to the preservation of short film during the London BFI Film Festival, taking place October 10 to 25.

“We are delighted to be premiering these vintage short films and docs in celebration of The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations, no other channel has anything like them on TV,” said Carter Pilcher, the chief executive of ShortsHD. “These authentic shorts have a tremendous amount of British historical appeal and it’s exciting to share with our viewers this great content from the BFI’s vaults. We also look forward to honoring the organization for its outstanding achievements in preserving film history at this year’s London BFI Festival.”
