- Collecting and examining materials from over a thirty-year period, this monograph was the primary output by Professor Shail during a Leverhulme Trust Fellowship, supporting a two-year investigation of the Children’s Film Foundation’s archives (CFF) held at the British Film Institute. From the 1950s to the 1980s the CFF produced films exclusively for children, reaching weekly audiences of half-a-million, reflecting the changing social landscape of Britain. In order to analyse new materials and perspectives within the monograph, Shail collected new primary research, including interviews with eleven key figures in the CFF’s history and a survey of over 100 former audience members.
