        Meet the Pioneers

        This directorial debut from Lindsay Anderson is an unexpectedly lyrical portrait of conveyor belts.

        Promotional 1948 32 mins

        Overview

        This pioneering debut film from director Lindsay Anderson is a lyrical - and enlightening - account of the production of conveyor belts as well as their usage, in coal mines and elsewhere. This subject matter proves unexpectedly cinematic - the photography is atmospheric, and the music nimbly complements the action onscreen, while the commentary from Anderson himself is sometimes brisk but always instructive.
