- Synopsis:
- A special commission as part of the 100 Years of Stainless Steel celebrations, 'The Big Melt' is an elegy to the men and women who toiled in Sheffield's steelworks and a hymn to Britain's proud industrial past. Working together, Sheffield's own musical hero Jarvis Cocker and acclaimed director Martin Wallace have produced an exquisite tapestry of steel industry-related film footage drawn from the BFI National Archive. Jarvis Cocker provides the film's stirring musical accompaniment, collaborating with a raft of Sheffield's finest musicians, including a string quartet, a brass band, members of Pulp, Richard Hawley, the Forgemasters and a youth choir.
