Synopsis: What do such classic films as The Third Man, The African Queen, The Misfits and Labyrinth have in common? Present during the filming of all of them was Angela Allen, acting as “continuity” – noting every shot and memorising all the details before her, working closely with the director, crew and actors to achieve a consistent and convincing world in front of the camera. She is one of the last witnesses to a truly golden age of cinema. 

In this special film portrait, in-depth interviews with Angela are accompanied by many clips from the films she worked on as well as rare archive of behind the scenes. This screening will be accompanied by a Q&A with Angela Allen in person and Ian Christie.
