Humphrey Jennings was one of Britain”s greatest documentary film-makers, described by Lindsay Anderson in 1954 as ”the only real poet the British cinema has yet produced”. A member of the GPO Film Unit and director of wartime canonical classics such as Listen to Britain (1942) and A Diary for Timothy (1945), he was also an acclaimed writer, painter, photographer and poet.

Situating Jennings”s work in the world of his contemporaries, and illuminating the qualities by which his films are now recognised, Humphrey Jennings: Film-Maker, Painter, Poet explores the many insights and cultural contributions of this truly remarkable artist.
