Listening through the Lens: The Christopher Nupen Films

SINOPSE

A tribute to Christopher Nupen, who became Britain's first independent television producer in the 1960s at the dawn of the documentary era. It is also the story of how the talents of a golden generation of artists were forever preserved on film. Nupen came from an unlikely background in South Africa and "ticked none of the boxes", but seizing upon the emerging camera technology and his unique access, he filmed classical music in a completely new and intimate way.
