Storyline

In the bleak days of the Cold War, espionage veteran

 George Smiley is forced from semi-retirement to

uncover a Soviet agent within MI6's echelons. 

 

13 April 2012   Great While Silence (108mins),

 remaster of 1924 Documentary on Scott's expedition

 to South Pole.

 

This film is a true inspiration. The level of patience and

 care that has gone into capturing these stunning images

 in the frozen wastes of the Antarctic, way back in the

 early days of cinematography - 1912, is amazing.

It's beautifully shot and edited, (recently cleaned up

 for the BFI), with a suitable score which gives the

film a playful tone- especially as Ponting spends

time following the penguins, which was comical.

Towards the end the film becomes much more

emotional and by this point you truly realise the

scale of the expedition, the sacrifices made and

how brave Captain Scott, the explorers and Ponting

with his camera were to undertake such a daring journey.
