Abstract
AbstractThis article charts a journey into seeing landscape through early film: it considers how archival film footage, currently stored away in regional and national collections and, in some instances, still waiting to be catalogued, provides a rich and largely neglected contribution to the study of landscape change. After defining and introducing the film materials, attention turns to consider their contribution within the wider context of changing approaches to the interpretation of landscape history. Drawing upon a range of inter-disciplinary methods and concepts, this discussion explores the meaning of landscape imagery filmed in contrasting locations during the decades between c. 1935 and 1970. The contribution of moving imagery to landscape interpretation is related to wider developments within the study of visual and material culture. Specific landscapes under consideration include the Hebridean island of Lewis and Harris, Scotland and the Yorkshire Dales, England.
