Picturing home delves into the portrayal of domestic life in British feature films produced and released during the 1940s. It explores how visual representations of home onscreen during this period re-imagined the modes of address employed during the interwar years to promote notions of domestic modernity.
The film offers a comprehensive analysis of domestic life as depicted in eight films, placing them within the broader context of an offscreen culture surrounding the suburban home. This includes magazines, advertisements, furniture catalogues, and displays at the Daily Mail Ideal Home Exhibition. By doing so, the film provides a fresh perspective on British 1940s films, revealing how they navigated a delicate balance between prewar and postwar, traditional and modern, private and public concerns.
