Ian Christie asks if the cinema invented Swinging London

I've already posted the first two videos in this series of film lectures by Ian Christie. They were on Gothic London and on the British pioneer Robert Paul.

Here, in his final lecture, he talks about British cinema and Swinging London.

Ian Christie on the pioneer British filmmaker Robert Paul

Here's another film lecture from Ian Christie. We've seen him on Gothic London, and here he talks about the forgotten London film pioneer Robert Paul.

Paul, who was born in Islington in 1869, vividly portrayed the variety of London at the end of the 19th century, conscious of its historic appeal but also emphasising the modernity of which he was a part.
