We are excited to let Old Scholars know that we have uploaded the full version of Matthew Robinson's (YG 1962) film of a Day-in-the-Life of Friends' School, Saffron Walden to our YouTube channel.

The film was produced and directed by 18-year old Matthew in June 1963 and filmed on 8mm film. This film was the starting point of his entire career in television & movies and the fact Matthew had made it secured his first job in TV in September 1966, post university. Here is a link to Matthew's Wikipedia page for further information on his career.

Below are two links. One is to his fascinating day-by-day diary of the making of the film; the other is to an article Matthew wrote for The Avenue (January 1964 edition).

"It’s really quite emotional recording people’s actions that will never be repeated. What will they all think in years to come when they look back on the film? Will they wonder at the changes that have taken place, both in the school - and themselves."
