Incredible colour footage of 1920s London shot by an early British pioneer of film named Claude Frisse-Greene, who made a series of travelogues using the colour process his father William \u2013 a noted cinematographer \u2013 was experimenting with. It\u2019s like a beautifully dusty old postcard you\u2019d find in a junk store, but moving. Video by\u00a0\u00a0 Tim Sparke.<\/p>\n
FYI I will be in London at the 18th of May up until Tuesday 21, so if you want to meet for a coffee or something let me know:-)<\/p>\n
