Ribbon Of Dreams Launch

We were honoured last night that our new exhibition, Ribbon of Dreams - Celebrating 100 Years of Elstree Studios, was launched by Noel Cronin.  The head of Talking Pictures TV, and well-known from The Footage Detectives (Sunday at 7pm), cut the gold ribbon to open the doors.  Noel and his daughter, Sarah and her husband, Neill spent a couple of hours filming the exhibition and the team for a future programme. A great deal of fun was had by all.

This is a special exhibition in many ways - not only is it our 20th temporary exhibition in 13 years, it is fitting to celebrate a studio complex that has dominated the town for so long on its anniversary.

We show how the studios have changed physically over the years, the disasters that have befallen them, the great films that were produced and how they were made, and the stories behind the films.

Look out for the interactive model of the mine chase from Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom, and you might bump into R2-D2 as well.

Hope to see you soon.
