One of my all time favorites.

Load of rubbish!!

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Geoffrey Jones approached Edgar Anstey with this project. Edgar took a day and Mr Jones then filmed it. He spent ages cutting it to a specially recorded version of Sandy Nelson's "Let There Be Drums" (or was it "Teen Beat"?).The result was a classic dated only by it's ephemeral images, not its style.Many years ago John Huntley was to show it at Guildford Civic Hall - but was sent the Canadian Film Board's excellent short also entitled "Snow" instead.Geoffrey Jones made 2 other films for BTF, "Rail" and "Locomotion", but only the first was also nominated for an Oscar. Two out of three ain't bad!

I have got this film. It might only be short (about 8 minutes), but the stunning scenery that the train travels through is breath taking.This is one of Edgar Anstey's 'British Transport Films'. This film shows a train travelling through a snow covered, English landscape and the electric guitar instrumental perfectly compliments what the viewer sees.Snow deservedly won the short documentary Oscar in 1965. This is the only time that the British Transport Film Unit ever won this award. There are many other films made by this unit that are worth a look. There is Farmer Moving South, Elizabethan Express and Blue Pullman to name but a few.So watch Snow if you get the chance!
