Barry Bliss

This film (which is silent apart from a song from the Easter Uprising of 1916 that it illustrates) uses only techniques available at the time, thereby giving the impression of what a Republican propaganda movie would have looked like had they the access to film making resources. Shot in black and white it has a hand-tinted section at the end which was quite common during this period.

Barry Bliss

Elvis Payne, Mark Wingett
