THEY SHALL NOT GROW OLD
Dir: Peter Jackson 2018 UK NZ 94mins
(Cert-TBC)
Tuesday 16 October 6pm
On the centenary of the end of First World War, Academy Award-winner Peter Jackson
presents the World Premiere of an extraordinary new work showing the Great War as you
have never seen it.
This unique film brings into high definition the human face of the First World War as part
of a special London Film Festival presentation alongside a live Q&A with director Peter
Jackson hosted by Mark Kermode.
Using state of the art technology to restore original archival footage which is more than a
100-years old, Jackson brings to life the people who can best tell this story: the men who
were there. Driven by a personal interest in the First World War, Jackson set out to bring
to life the day-to-day experience of its soldiers. After months immersed in the BBC and
Imperial War Museums’ archives, narratives and strategies on how to tell this story began
to emerge for Jackson. Using the voices of the men involved, the film explores the reality
of war on the front line: their attitudes to the conflict, how they ate, slept and formed
friendships, as well as what their lives were like away from the trenches during their periods
of downtime.
Jackson and his team have used cutting edge techniques to make the images of a hundred
years ago appear as if they were shot yesterday. The transformation from black and white
footage to colourised footage can be seen throughout the film revealing never before
seen details. Reaching into the mists of time, Jackson aims to give these men voices,
investigate the hopes and fears of the veterans, the humility and humanity that represented
a generation changed forever by a global war.
Tickets: £8 (£7 Concessions)
Co-commissioned by 14-18 NOW and Imperial War Museums in association with the BBC. Produced by WingNut Films and Executive Produced
by House Productions. Special thanks to Matthew & Sian Westerman with additional support from The Taylor Family Foundation, The Moondance
