Beaufort - successful film location (1x3)

:

The third programme in the series explores how Beaufort became the unlikely location for over 20 hugely successful films. In 1910 an American film crew arrived in Beaufort where they began making the very first movies to be shot on location outside of the United States. The films were directed by Canadian Sidney Olcott who was of Irish descent and decided to return to his homeland to make the ground-breaking films.
