BRITISH PATHÉ'S STORY
Before television, people came to movie theatres to watch the news. British Pathé was at the forefront of cinematic journalism, blending information with entertainment to popular effect. Over the course of a century, it documented everything from major armed conflicts and seismic political crises to the curious hobbies and eccentric lives of ordinary people. If it happened, British Pathé filmed it.
Now considered to be the finest newsreel archive in the world, British Pathé is a treasure trove of 85,000 films unrivalled in their historical and cultural significance.
British Pathé also represents the Reuters historical collection, which includes more than 136,000 items from the news agencies Gaumont Graphic (1910-1932), Empire News Bulletin (1926-1930), British Paramount (1931-1957), and Gaumont British (1934-1959), as well as Visnews content from 1957 to the end of 1984. All footage can be viewed on the British Pathé website. www.britishpat...

Nice time before mass tourism, i mean it's good that whole world knows for Dubrovnik and wants to visit it, but it's not good that gredy dovelopers are destroying our coastline , building apartments on every inch of the coast, polluting the nature, tourism can go hand in hand with the conservation of nature but our developers don't think about it, they think only about the profit. Meanwhile, old city in Dubrovnik is becoming more and more city of ghosts, living there became to expensive for the locals, the same story is in old town of Split, Trogir, Zadar, basically all adriatic cities that have historical old town.
And we are destroying our cities by extensive building of apartmens, that look awful mostly , we have more and more buildings but every year our cities have less and less people living there. There is 5000 less people from last census in 2011 but thousands and thousands new buildings, Zadar is this moment one big constructiom site.
