Abstract Britain in the 1920s and 30 s saw both an infatuation with traditional craft work and an upsurge in amateur film-making. This article looks at the ways in which these two cultural interests intertwined. It argues that amateur films can help us to understand traditional craft as creative response to shifts in the rural economy. These films capture the commodification of craft as a seemingly quaint activity ideal for tourists to consume. They also reveal how hands-on craft labour offered a modern alternative to machine-made, mass-produced products. The act of film-making was itself part of a new manifestation of craft in modern culture and offered its own critique of mass production and mechanised society.

本地制作：两次世界大战期间英国的工艺和电影制作

摘要 1920 年代和 30 年代的英国既看到了对传统手工艺的迷恋，也看到了业余电影制作的热潮。本文着眼于这两种文化利益交织在一起的方式。它认为，业余电影可以帮助我们将传统工艺理解为对农村经济变化的创造性反应。这些电影将手工艺品的商品化捕捉为一种看似古怪的活动，非常适合游客消费。他们还揭示了动手手工艺如何为机器制造的大规模生产产品提供现代替代品。电影制作本身就是现代文化中工艺新表现的一部分，并提供了对大规模生产和机械化社会的批判。
