Communicating

Abstract

A feature of specialised film production in the last few years has been the move made by a few major industrial film sponsoring organisations to transform their internal film units into production companies catering for other sponsors besides the host company. British Rail made this change with British Transport Films — although the new policy has kept the unit still working within the transport field. ICI, in creating Millbank Films as the successor to ICI Film Unit, have undertaken a similar move and, whilst the bulk of the unit's output has been concerned with different aspects of ICI's public relations and commercial interests, the latest series of films to be produced has introduced a significant newcomer to management film making. In this instance Millbank Films has cooperated with Sheppard Moscow and Associates Ltd, management consultants, in the production of a film series with associated publications designed for use in management training, and the films themselves are being distributed by Guild Sound and Vision, one of Britain's three major industrial film libraries with a rapidly expanding catalogue of management training material.
