Housewives Choice

How to iron your husband's tie with a jam-jar.

A glorious compendium of handy hints for housewives, produced between the 1920s and 50s but eminently useful in today's wintry economic climate. Discover the healing power of Horlicks, the secret of a perfect rabbit pie, and how to clean a mink stole with only a handful of bran. This programme was selected from the BFI archive and includes a mixture of documentaries, adverts and straight-up propaganda. More details on the programme here...

There will also be some more recent shorts (including a sneak peek at some of the stuff screening at next March's Flatpack Festival) and a carousel of musical delights from the Sugarfoot Stomp ladies.
