EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Academy Poster for Jack Lees' iconic film, "Children on Trial" from 1946. The arresting image takes us back to the retro era of the 40s, immersing us in a world where delinquency among kids was a pressing concern. The poster itself is a testament to the power of visual storytelling, as it captures our attention with its bold design and striking imagery. In the foreground, we see two young boys dressed in tattered clothing, their faces reflecting both innocence and defiance. Behind them stands a stern police officer, symbolizing authority and law enforcement. This photograph transports us into an era when society grappled with issues surrounding juvenile delinquency. It serves as a reminder that even children can find themselves entangled in complex situations that require understanding and intervention rather than mere punishment. The British Film Institute's preservation of this Academy Poster allows us to appreciate not only the artistic merit but also its historical significance. It represents an important chapter in British cinema history when filmmakers like Jack Lees shed light on social issues through thought-provoking narratives. As we gaze upon this evocative image, we are reminded of how far society has come since then while acknowledging that challenges still exist today. This photograph invites contemplation about societal progress and reminds us of cinema's ability to provoke conversations around important topics – even those involving children on trial.
