A revelation! McAuliffe shows how, from the late 1950s to the 1980s, the BFI Education Department was an agent of popular modernism, a para-academic experiment, an engine of critical thinking about the possibilities of cinema. In dusty basements, coffee houses, summer schools: all change. -- Sukhdev Sandhu, Director of the Colloquium for Unpopular Culture, New York University, USA
