Made in England: The Films of Powell and Pressburger

Made in England: The Films of Powell and Pressburger is a documentary about the British filmmaking partnership of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, the writer-director duo behind a string of classics that helped define British cinema. Martin Scorsese, who appears as himself, guides the film, drawing on his own long admiration for their work to examine how the two men collaborated and what their films achieved. The documentary assembles rare archival material from the private collections of Powell, Pressburger and Scorsese, along with clips from their films, and includes archival appearances by performers such as Deborah Kerr, Roger Livesey and David Niven.

The film is directed by David Hinton, whose previous feature was the 2008 release Nora. It is a production from the United Kingdom and the United States, made by Altitude Film Entertainment, BBC Film, Sikelia Productions and Screen Scotland, and it runs 133 minutes.
