“The Harting Film – Unpicked” with Andrew Shaxson
At the Society’s first meeting of 2026, we feature the film made in 1956 about Harting, and Andrew will tell the story behind the people and places depicted.
Commissioned for the Colonial Office, the film shows life in a typical, traditional, rural English village, a self-sufficient and neighbourly community. At the time, it is said, the intention was to demonstrate the timeless values of English village life to Commonwealth countries seeking their independence. Today, the film provides us with a charming portrait of a picturesque village and its villagers in the mid 1950s.
