Footprints comprises rarely seen footage of Nigeria from the British Film Institutes's National Archive. The origins of the British Film Institute's collection have their roots in the colonial administration's use of the film to document and often, propangandise colonial rule. As Nigeria's regions gained self government, they also saw film as an integral part of promoting their newly independent status to the world.
British Council has researched the BFI's collection of Nigerian Films, from both the colonial and the modern era and has digitised them. These will be presented to the public through the Footprints project.

Clips in the Collection are:
Africa's Fighting Men,
Nigeria's New Constitution,
Northern Provinces of Nigeria,
Southern Provinces of Nigeria,
and Beer at Its Best.

Film archive project from the British Council using footage from the BFI National Archive as part of the 2015-2016 UK-Nigeria Season. The films were shot from 1924 to 1993 and have been digitised especially for the Footprints project.
Topics covered include the palm oil industry in Southern Nigeria, the movement for independence, the creation of the 1952 constitution, Nigeria's first police women, the birth of the beer industry in Nigeria, Nigerian footballers visiting England, cocoa farming, nursing, and African servicemen in World War Two.
