NWFA 2759 The Manchester School of Art – FESCH.TV

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

Film of the staff and students at the Manchester School of Art. There are brief sequences of pupils painting at easels and drawing in a field. Groups of pupils are also seen milling around in the grounds of the School of Art. The majority of the footage consists of members of staff featured individually or with a colleague – they are introduced by captions. Many of the members of staff pull faces for the camera and pose, one is seen pretending to be a fashion model on a catwalk, in a large coat and a hat. Others pose with a dustbin lid and a broom or strike poses usually associated with bodybuilders. The closing sequence features trick photography with the film’s producer Mr G H Higginson appearing to stand next to himself.
