In 1968, Christopher Nupen founded one of the first (if not the first) independent television production companies in the United Kingdom. Aided by the invention of silent 16mm film cameras, Nupen became the pioneer of a completely new and intimate style, blending documentary and performance on film. He instinctively filmed musicians at close quarters on stage (and backstage), in their natural environment, where they have most to offer. The effects were dramatic and brought countless numbers of people to music for the first time, breaking down the barriers between musicians and the wider public. Over 70 productions, spanning five decades, the Allegro Films music archive is a unique body of work that remembers many of our great artists, as no other medium can equal.
