Films of Fact looks at the history of science on film, from the birth of television to Tomorrow’s World. It will show rare science and nature films from the archives, some of which have not been seen in over half a century. It will show films which aimed to act as a force for social reform, alongside beautiful nature documentaries and earnest 1950s science news programmes. Films of Fact is accompanied by a book of the same name, written by the Science Museum’s Chief Curator, Dr Tim Boon.
