- Synopsis:
In the 1960's the UK Government, through the Central Office of Information (COI), produced a number of films for distribution throughout the Commonwealth. Designed to promote British industry and values abroad, 'Roundabout' was one of the most popular of these cinemagazines, with its colourful selection of topical stories for the Asian market. The BFI has collected all the 'Roundabout' films from 1963 to produce a unique and fascinating glimpse of Britain and its place in the world 50 years ago. Consisting of 11 globetrotting films, highlights include a visit to the Royal Mint, a tour of a rubber-tree plantation in Southeast Asia, a trip around a British doll factory, and a look at modem architecture in London, Jakarta and Saigon. - Directors:
