Breakers Ahead
Algernon Blackwood narrates his tale in this theatrical short film. Presumably lost.
Two of a Kind
In a relaxed and conversational style, famed writer of uncanny and fantastical fiction Algernon Blackwood (1869-1951) retells his story of the old lady and the pockmarked railway porter. The author's delivery is thoughtful, as if he is recounting the incident for the first time, and was filmed in 1949 for a series of short films sharing the title A Strange Experience. The story itself was unpublished in his lifetime.
Lock Your Door
Demonstrating the work of the British police force, based on actual incidents from the files of Brighton Borough Police, and illustrated through a case of housebreaking.
Night Call

The Rendezvous
Author Algernon Blackwood (1869-1951) casually narrates his uncanny 1937 tale. 'Audible skywriting' and its unintended consequences are the unlikely subject, effectively undercut by a surprise ending. The camera angles are eccentric, but it's a rare opportunity to see Blackwood onscreen.
The Reformation of St. Jules
