The War Game

Hi.

Super website !

.................thankyou

Do you know 'The War Game', filmed by Peter Watkin in Dover in 1964 ?

................no

It's a frightening docu-drama about life during a nuclear strike. It was banned until 1985. It's a B&W film which turns to negative in parts as the balloon goes up, as they say.

..............sounds good

It doesn't fit into your 'must be 80 minute' and mainstream category but thought it might be interesting all the same.

..............RULE 1. I make the rules, and RULE 2. I can break 'em. Rules broken in favour of "The War Game".

It was shot at some derelict barracks in Dover and (I think) parts of Rochester.

..............wonderful, just the sort of thing we need

Do let me know if you would like some stills of 1964 & 2008 !

..................yes please, can you pull the stills? Can you copy the tape/disc?

............best wishes

..............John Tunstill
