Archive footage by Charles Chislett, who was active between the 1930s and 60s, was shown during “Nature Matters: Charles Chislett”.

The screening was organised by Artful Make it Happen at the Chislett Centre on Kimberworth Park Road.

Artful founder Vicky Hilton said: “The screening was a huge success with over 40 people who came along to watch the film.

“It was a rich portrait of the Rotherham film-maker – through his lens he captured a whole host of subjects from his family holidays and coastal scenes to local industry and bird-watching.

“We watched a selection of Chislett's amazing films contextualised alongside news items and other film footage from the period.

“A huge thank you to Cinema For All for supporting our project and our partners at Yorkshire Film Archives for creating such a special film.”
