When a bomb, left over from the War, accidentally explodes in Pimlico the residents discover an old charter that declares the district to be a part of Ancient Burgundy. Quickly realising that this gives them independence and frees them from rationing, chaos soon follows. Londoners flood in to buy luxury items and the authorities close the border, so the feisty Burgundians fight back. Ordinary folk battling against the establishment: it's a quintessential Ealing romp.

Conversations About Cinema: Impact of Conflict

Last year's commemoration of the start of World War I was cause for reflection on the scale and impact of that war and the immense global repercussions which still ripple 100 years later. The impact of a war, any war, is not confined to its dates, but goes far wider, far deeper, across people, society, places and politics. Impact of Conflict is a new strand where we will explore these effects through screenings, events and publishing - it is all about the opportunity for you to share your responses.

As an audience member we are interested in how these older films have resonated with you today. Do they raise issues which relate to 2015 or are they simple interesting historical artefacts? You can join the discussion by posting your thoughts on our noticeboard or tweeting using #convocinema or @wshed.
