Family Portrait

Thematic 2001: Fast Forward Curated by Kent Jones

The great documentarian Humphrey Jennings’s short, pungent history of England was commissioned for the mid-century Festival of Britain and gives a lovely overview of the changes in British history and culture, in its morality and its technology. A poetic (and informative) trip through time.
