Reel Heritage
Bringing archive alive in education
In conjunction with Norwich HEART's Digital Heritage brief to make archive film more accessible to a wider audience, Reel Heritage is focusing on developing access to archive specifically in education.
The moving image history of our region held at the East Anglian Film Archive is a unique record of how we lived our lives in the last century and an invaluable part of our heritage. The films also represent a remarkable resource for education and engagement for all ages and a stimulant for observation and discussion.

My Generation
Using archive film from the East Anglian Film Archive, 'My Generation' is a 20 minute film focusing on the post-war evolution of teenagers and the youth subcultures that emerged, exploring the 'moral panic' that challenged authority and gave youths a new identity.
Narrated by comedian and writer Arthur Smith.
"When I saw this instructive, entertaining film, half my life suddenly shouted "remember me?" And I did - with great pleasure..."
Additional Material:
Using interviews with former Mods and Rockers from the 1960s and 70s, as well as teenagers from East Norfolk Sixth Form College, these 5 short films explore perceptions of all aspects of youth culture, encouraging discussion around a range of topics relevant to Key Stage Four and post-16 education.
All research, interviews, production and editing was performed by students at the University of East Anglia, studying media, politics and society.
The DVD inside cover offers a number of discussion points that might be raised in the 'classroom' from viewing 'My Generation' and the interviews.
The following downloadable PDF's offer more discussion points around those same themes.
