Cally House is this fascinating glimpse into a specific wartime effort, showing what a school for evacuees looked like during those trying times. It's all about the human experience, really. The film captures moments with a rawness that feels genuine, even if the production values are typical of the era. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to absorb the atmosphere of both the setting and the emotional weight of the subject matter. The documentary doesn’t shy away from the hardships faced by the children and their educators, showcasing some practical effects of the time in the context of education and community support. What stands out is its ability to evoke a sense of nostalgia and reflection on the importance of education during crisis.
Cally House is relatively scarce in collector circles, primarily because of its specific focus and the limited distribution typical for wartime documentaries.
