Imperial Sunet

A film epigram about the British Empire upon which, it was said, the sun never set. This is a waggish history, culled from archival film footage. What gives the film its wit is the constant riposte between picture and word--between what the film shows of the formative days of the Empire, and what famous servants of the Empire say about the institution that was and is.

Directed by Josef Reeve - 1967 | 18 min
