Filmed and Not Forgotten: Yorkshire in WW1

"Filmed and Not Forgotten" is a project from the Yorkshire Film Archive to preserve, research and provide public access to a rare and important collection of films showing the people and places of Yorkshire during the Great War.

These films possess an immense degree of relevance both regionally and nationally, and whether marching across Lendal Bridge in York or running around Beverley Racecourse, the individuals captured on film were real people caught in the midst of something great and unprecedented; each one of their faces has its own story to tell.

Through the medium of these moving documents we hope to bring those personal stories to life in a visually direct and compelling manner, adding local relevance to a conflict that affected an entire generation and has had an immeasurably profound impact on the modern world. This project gives us a unique opportunity to conduct research into these personalities and many more like them - to ensure that they truly remain the "Filmed and Not Forgotten."
