Harry Birrell was given his first cine-camera as a boy in 1928 and spent his life recording incidents great and small - his entertaining and errant adventures are recorded in over 400 films, diaries and photographs that were recently brought to life by his granddaughter, Carina Birrell. His home movies of family events and fine romances now ache with fond nostalgia but Harry's life was also filled with far away adventures and the film captures a vivid sense of wartime years spent in Bombay, the jungles of Burma and the mountains of Nepal. From commanding a battalion of Gurkhas in the Indian army at the start of the WWII, to a dangerous mission deep behind enemy lines in Burma at the war’s end; from the Ballroom dances of his youth in the 1930s to teaching his children to twist in the 1960s – Harry filmed his whole life with the intimacy of home movies but on the scale of Lawrence of Arabia. In 2019, Matt Pinder's beautifully composed, captivating documentary 'Harry Birrell Presents Films of Love and War' edits together film footage from across Birrell’s lifetime, delivering one man's cinematic vision of the 20th century and his own incredible journey through it.
