In Fading Light

<p> For over five decades the Newcastle-based Amber Film and Photography Collective has been a critical (if often unheralded) force within British documentary filmmaking producing a variety of innovative works focused on working-class society. Situating their acclaimed output within wider social political and historical contexts <em>In Fading Light</em> provides an accessible introduction to Amber's output from both national and transnational perspectives including experimental low-budget documentaries in the 1970s; more prominent feature films in the 1980s; studies of post-industrial life in the 1990s; and the distinctive perils and opportunities posed by the digital era.</p>
