Where it came from
This volume on Humphrey Jennings was published as part of the British Film Institute's Film Classics series in 2014. Written by Marie-Louise Jennings, the daughter of the esteemed British documentarian and surrealist poet, the book provides a deeply personal yet scholarly examination of her father's contributions to the Griersonian documentary movement and his unique artistic legacy during the Second World War.
The text was crafted to contextualize Jennings' innovative cinematic techniques, particularly his ability to weave lyrical, poetic imagery into social realism. By drawing on both familial intimacy and academic research, the author aims to illuminate the inner workings of a filmmaker whose work defined the British spirit of the 1940s, providing a definitive resource for students of film history interested in the intersection of poetry and documentary film.
