In Grigsby's own words, the Unit was "trying to take over where Free Cinema left off". Unit Five Seven produced Michael Grigsby's documentaries Enginemen (1959) and Tomorrow’s Saturday, Canary, a short animated film directed by Brian Cosgrove and Maurice Askew, Dirty Old Town, directed by Ian Thompson and Peter Plummer, The Vanishing Street and Finale, directed by Robert Vas, and Solo, directed by Ivan Hall. The Unit was helped financially by the British Film Institute's Experimental Film Fund. (en) |
