   • It was one of the few major film bodies anywhere in the world run by a woman. The Children’s Film Foundation was launched in 1951 in response to a government report criticising the unsuitability of the American fare being screened by Britain’s Saturday matinee cinema clubs.
   • While giving kids some much-needed escapism, CFF films also present a valuable snapshot of their times. A common complaint levelled against Field is that she depicted a middle-class neverland full of plummily accented children to reinforce such moralising maxims as ‘crime does not pay’ and ‘cheats never prosper’.
   • Several notable directors have a CFF credit on their CVs. Despite initially only having an annual budget of £60,000 at their disposal, Field and Geddes managed to produce numerous shorts and serials, as well a small slate of features.
   • Many familiar faces got their big break in a CFF picture. The harsh fact is that the majority of the kids who appeared in CFF projects did not go on to become stars.

   Why did the CFF make films for children?

   • Throughout its history, the CFF made films for children rather than just simply about them. Seeking to connect with kids on their own level, Field and Geddes refused to talk down to their audiences. Thus, while each picture had a moral, social control mattered less than engagement and entertainment.
