DescriptionMaterial includes: two DVDs of the Bill Douglas Symposium, Exeter held on the 23 September 2011, filmed by Kenny Munro.
Admin HistoryBill Douglas was widely considered to be under-appreciated and his work under-valued when he was alive. However, after his death and with the release of his filmography on DVD and Blu-ray there was a resurgence in support and acknowledgement for Bill's work. The archive holds many features that expound on Douglas' brilliance and lack of support in the film industry. Though these critical works were written well after Douglas' death, they all draw attention to the fact that Bill Douglas remains an incredibly important part of the British cinematic canon.
