Look at Life was a regular British series of short documentary films of which 507 were produced between 1959 and 1969 by the Special Features Division of the Rank Organisation for screening in their Odeon and Gaumont cinemas. The films always preceded the main feature film that was being shown in the cinema that week. It replaced the circuit's newsreel, Universal News, which had become increasingly irrelevant in the face of more immediate news media, particularly on television with the launch of ITN on the Independent Television service, which began broadcasting in parts of the United Kingdom in 1955.
Developed from an original idea by architect Donald Insall, Buildings - Who Cares? examines the implication sof the conflicting demands of new building and preservation on three different levels. These range from an individual monument (Binham Priory in Norfolk), through a village (Lavenham in Suffolk) to city scale (the active urban conservation programme being pursued in Chester).

Swinging London - a phenomenon which emphasized the young, the new and the modern. Fashion, music, art, media, life style and attitude. An era of optimism, and hedonism. A cultural revolution.
