Britain’s colonial rule in Palestine was closely recorded on film. This selection from the imperial archives included a number of silent home movies by amateur film makers, usually soldiers and Portrait of Palestine, a film made by the Colonial Office in 1947 which had the aim of giving a positive spin to Britain's chaotic withdrawal from Palestine. This was followed by a very interesting commentry by Francis Gooding of the Colonial Film project who gave the story behind the film and the many political decisions made on the wording of the commentry.
