British Film Design

British Film Design is about the things that you see when you close your eyes and think of British cinema. It is about Dr Nos hideaway, the ballet of The Red Shoes, the buffet of Brief Encounter, Vera Drakes parlour, Hogwarts School ... and a thousand other visions of British films. Moreover, British Film Design is about the people who have created those visions.



The physical environments of films are made by Production Designers, otherwise known as Art Directors. Their efforts have tended to go unnoticed by cinema audiences. British Film Design addresses thistendency by offering the first comprehensive historical survey of British art direction.
