EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken in September 1939, a cinematographer meticulously adjusts his camera as the golden rays of sunlight filter through the smokestacks of a bustling industrial landscape. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the pivotal role cinemas played during this tumultuous period in history, providing a vital source of news and information to the public as the world teetered on the brink of the Second World War. The date of this photograph, September 1939, holds significant historical importance as the month when Britain and France declared war on Germany following the invasion of Poland. With the onset of war, the dissemination of accurate and timely information became of paramount importance. Cinemas, which had long been a popular form of entertainment, assumed a new role as essential institutions for keeping the country informed. The cinematographer's focused expression and the array of camera equipment surrounding him underscore the importance of capturing and sharing news footage with the world. The image speaks to the dedication and skill required to document the unfolding events and convey them to audiences, often in real-time, via newsreels shown before feature films. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, highlighting the transformative power of cinema during a time of great upheaval. It stands as a testament to the enduring role of visual storytelling in shaping our understanding of history and the world around us.
