SELECTED FILM PROJECTS ANALOGUE KINGDOM | 2010
Gerald Wells stole his first radio, a Belmont, in 1943 at the age of thirteen. He was immediately sent to an ‘approved’ school, whose psychiatrist diagnosed ‘an obsession’ with wireless and electricity – an obsession that continues today. The house Wells was born in and still inhabits is now home to over 1,500 wireless objects and 45,000 valves. Analogue Kingdom is a poetic portrait of Wells, founder and curator of the British Vintage Wireless and Television Museum. The film reveals the charm of Wells’ world, where radio relics and their attendant stories fill every nook and cranny of his Kingdom. As the digital switchover approaches, Wells analogue collection is a reminder of the magic that may soon be lost. – Listing IMDb Information at The British Films Catalogue website Commissioned by Sound and Music for Cut & Splice ![[SAM, Radio 3, Arts Council Logos]](../Images/SAM_R3_AC-Logos.jpg) – Interviews Sound on Film: Five questions for Esther Johnson BBC Radio 3: 'Hear and Now' Cut & Splice 2010 – Transmission – Episode 2 of 3 Saturday 13 Nov 2010 Next film > |
