Norwich Scenes in Dufaycolor
1934 , Norwich (Norfolk)
Cat no. 902
An example of the Dufaycolor film process, featuring scenes around the centre of Norwich, filmed in the year Spicer-Dufay launched its 16mm stock affordable to the amateur film maker.
The logo for Dufaycolor is at the head of the film. The subject matter was chosen to show off the process of the film stock's built in colour filters. There are shots of the cattle market, the castle ditches, flower stalls on the market, and a view of Westlegate with a fruit and vegetable shop (once the Barking Dickey pub). A bus goes up St Andrews Hill against a background of posters. The Briton's Arms is shown on Elm Hill. More flowers are featured in Chapelfield Gardens: a girl holds up a posy to the camera. The film closes with a girl skipping.

Background Information
The following information is from research by Simon Brown published on-line at www.bftv.ac.uk/projects/dufaycolor.htm: The new 16mm colour film, along with an improved 35mm stock was presented at the Savoy Hotel in April 1934, and the 16mm film was released onto the market in September to great success, using the slogan “Dufaycolor: Everybody’s Colour Film”. The advertising emphasised the simplicity and the inexpensiveness of producing “a living and permanent record of life as you saw it”. [21] It was enthusiastically received, the Amateur Cine World proclaiming “Dufaycolor involves the user in no more trouble and but little greater cost than ordinary black and white film, and can be used with confidence by the veriest (sic) amateur”
