SURVIVORS: THE SPECTRE OF THREADS 

On Sunday September 23rd, 1984, THREADS was broadcast on BBC2. Written by novelist/playwright Barry Hines (KES) and directed by BAFTA winner Mick Jackson, the film depicted the effects of a thermonuclear attack on the working-class city of Sheffield. Four months later, the film was shown on American cable TV. In both countries, the graphic horrors of detonation, societal collapse and nuclear winter were indelibly seared into tens of millions of homes. Over four decades it has remained “brilliant” (The Guardian), “unsensationally grim” (CineSavant) and “piss yourself terrifying” (The A.V. Club). For the first time ever, THREADS is now scanned in 4K from the original 16mm A/B rolls with 7 hours of Special Features produced by Severin Films. This collection also includes a Bonus Disc of Craig Ian Mann & Robert Nevitt’s new documentary SURVIVORS: THE SPECTRE OF THREADS that explores the untold stories of the film’s impact on the people of Sheffield and throughout UK culture.

In 1965, filmmaker Peter Watkins (PRIVILEGE, PUNISHMENT PARK) recruited 350 amateur actors, utilized direct quotes from civil defense manuals and employed newsreel-like recreations to craft a BBC documentary drama that depicted a nuclear attack on Great Britain. The network condemned the finished film as “too horrifying” and refused to broadcast it. Watkins’ masterpiece subsequently received a special award at the 1966 Venice Film Festival and won the 1967 Academy Award® for Best Documentary Feature. The BBC would not air his “chillingly different, enduringly brilliant” (The Guardian) classic until three decades later. “What may be the most important film ever made” (London Observer) is now scanned in 4K from the original 16mm A/B rolls for the first time ever, with more than 5½ of all-new Special Features and Limited Edition Exclusives that include an authorized reprint of Watkins’ 1967 The War Game book, collectible postcards, a replica of the UK government’s official evacuation pass and more.

THREADS Traffic Warden Enamel Pin

If there’s a single iconic image that represents the horror of THREADS, it’s that of the Traffic Warden whose grisly visage appeared on the cover of the Radio Times (the UK equivalent of TV Guide) the week of the film’s September ‘84 broadcast. He’s been depicted in UK street art and graphic novels for over two generations and now lives on as a “piss yourself terrifying” (AV Club) enamel pin designed by our friends at Pixel Elixir.

A Year In A Field [Blu-ray w/Slipcase]

Weathering the elements in the centre of a field in West Cornwall is the Longstone, a natural relic that has quietly witnessed 4,000 years of tumultuous history. BAFTA-winning documentarian Christopher Morris’ elegiac, meditative, yet profoundly important film is the record of a year in the life of the monolith, beginning on Winter Solstice 2020, as the order of the natural world began unravelling around the globe and the threat of extreme climate change became a reality.

Beautifully shot, with a richly layered sound design, the film meditates on the passage of time through its appreciation of nature, highlighting the subtle changes of the seasons, but also the need to act in order to battle man-made changes that will forever change our planet. (Sheffield Doc Fest)
