Cine club members film activities at the ferry port

This film contains unedited scenes of cine club members with their cameras and tripods exploring Parkeston Quay and the ferry departures area, finding ways to film the activity of the port. It is part of a collection of Super8 and Standard8 travel films of Britain, Spain and North Africa from the 1960s and 1970s made in the main by D.J. Robinson and received from a member of Clacton Cine Club. The film starts with a brief title over a cartoon man promoting trips to Holland, with a bunch on tulips under one arm and a Sealink ferry under the other arm. Men and women are filming on the quay and on the deck of a ferry. There are shots of the dining room and bar and ornamental décor of the public areas, and crew on deck. Passing boats are filmed from a distance. A sign ‘This vessel has a bulbous bow’ on the ferry St Edmund is followed by shots of the bow door open, and later closing. A lorry advertises Danish Lurpak butter. People leave the passenger shed and cross to the gangway carrying their suitcases and other hand luggage. People watch from the deck railing. Luggage is loaded into the boot of a car, and people board a Wallace Arnold coach. Two dark-skinned men are seen on the deck of a ship from Darfur, Port Sudan. Further shots include loads of wooden pallets, forklift trucks, smoking funnels of a ferry and a train. Throughout, the cine club members are seen using their cameras and tripods. In one shot a woman prepares to load film from the yellow packet.
