Thorold Dickinson Shorts Series: Thorold Dickinson’s World of Cinema Country: United Kingdom A selection of shorts edited and in some cases directed by Dickinson. Dickinson was branded a “premature anti-fascist” for the (often dangerous) work he did in Spain with Sidney Cole on Spanish A.B.C. and Behind the Spanish Lines, both financed by the left-wing Progressive Film Institute. The first is a report on the work of the Spanish Ministry of Public Instruction, the second a document of everyday life during the war. Westward Ho! was made for the Ministry of Information, and looked at the difficult subject of the evacuation of British children from London to Torquay. Yesterday Is Over Your Shoulder is a short drama encouraging unskilled laborers to train for munitions manufacturing work (“I introduced the word ‘bugger’ to the British cinema,” recalled Dickinson of this film). On the New Lot, directed by Carol Reed (Dickinson served as “Production Controller”), a group of conscripts are followed as they make the transition from civilian to military life.
