In this episode of the Filmumentaries podcast, I welcome director John Spira, known for his documentary 'Elstree 1976'. The conversation explores John's journey into filmmaking, the impact of film school, and his transition into documentary work. We discuss the making of 'Elstree 1976', audience reception, and the importance of preserving stories from those on the fringes of the film industry. John shares insights on the unique perspectives of lesser-known figures in cinema, emphasizing the value of their narratives in understanding the broader cultural context. 


Since making Elstree 1976, Jon has most recently made Hollywood Bulldogs Hollywood Bulldogs: The Rise and Falls of the Great British Stuntman which is currently on Britbox here in the UK. I really enjoyed listening to the stories of this unconventional group of men who worked on some of the biggest films in movie history.
