O Dreamland is a 1953 documentary short film by British film director Lindsay Anderson. The documentary was made in 1953 by Anderson and his cameraman/assistant, John Fletcher, using a single 16mm camera and an audiotape recorder. Once completed, the film was initially shelved, with Anderson commenting, "you don't do anything with a 10-minute, 16-millimetre film. It's just there, that's all." In 1956 however, he was inspired to include it as part of the first Free Cinema programme.

  • O Dreamland is a 1953 documentary short film by British film director Lindsay Anderson. The documentary was made in 1953 by Anderson and his cameraman/assistant, John Fletcher, using a single 16mm camera and an audiotape recorder. Once completed, the film was initially shelved, with Anderson commenting, "you don't do anything with a 10-minute, 16-millimetre film. It's just there, that's all." In 1956 however, he was inspired to include it as part of the first Free Cinema programme. The black-and-white film is a 12-minute exploration of the Dreamland amusement park in Margate, Kent and has no voiced commentary but a soundtrack of sounds recorded on site and music. Gavin Lambert, a key supporter of the Free Cinema movement, said of the film "Everything is ugly... It is almost too much. The nightmare is redeemed by the point of view, which, for all the unsparing candid camerawork and the harsh, inelegant photography, is emphatically humane. Pity, sadness, even poetry is infused into this drearily tawdry, aimlessly hungry world." (en)
  • O Dreamland è un cortometraggio documentario del 1953, prodotto e diretto da Lindsay Anderson. Si tratta del breve ritratto, privo di commento, di una giornata di svago della working class tra le attrazioni del parco di divertimenti Dreamland di Margate, nel Kent, sede delle più antiche montagne russe del Regno Unito. Realizzato da Anderson insieme al cameraman e aiuto regista John Fletcher nel 1953, fu proiettato al pubblico per la prima volta solo nel 1956, dal 5 all'8 febbraio al National Film Theatre insieme al cortometraggio Momma Don't Allow di Karel Reisz e Tony Richardson ed al mediometraggio di Lorenza Mazzetti, il programma speciale che segnò l'inizio del movimento cinematografico britannico del Free Cinema.
