The Drowners

This week The Drowners has been added to the BFI National Archive and will be accessible through the mediatheques in London, Derby, Cambridge, Wrexham and Newcastle.

“Established in 1935, the BFI National Archive preserves one of the largest and most significant moving image collections in the world.

The collections are of national and international importance as a record of the history and culture of filmmaking and television production, and as a record of the contemporary life of the UK from the late 19th century to the present.

They are an unparalleled resource for researchers, students, filmmakers and television producers, historians and any interested member of the public.”
