Scene from James Green’s amateur movies shot in Daventry, 1960s.
These 8mm cine films were handed to Daventry museum volunteer David Adams by James Green at the museum heritage event in 2011. James Green is now the owner of “Kinema in the Woods” at Woodhall Spa http://www.thekinemainthewoods.co.uk/ but a long time before that he made some films in Daventry. The original films have now been stored for preservation at the MACE archive at the University of Lincoln and as part of the Full Circle Heritage Lottery funded project. MACE have made a copy of the films onto DVD so that local people can once again view their screen heritage.
