Everything but Everything in Bri-nylon
UK, 1959. Director Sam Napier-Bell. Sponsored by British Nylon Spinners.
The future belongs to Bri-Nylon, by the looks of it a thoroughly magical fabric. Bri-nylon is especially wonderful when just about everything in the human environment is made from it. This eye-popping short film paints a world in which science and technology unite with aesthetics to modernise and improve lives – from increasing comfort and practicality, to saving labour and time, to creating a better-looking world.
With Maureen Beck, Peter Boyes and Yvonne Marsh.
