Said Charlotte Moore, director of BBC content: “The culmination of the BBC’s ambitious four years of programming to mark the World War One centenary is being honored on BBC One with the world premiere of a very special film from the highly acclaimed Peter Jackson that will bring unheard voices from a hundred years ago to life for a whole new generation to experience”. Tied in with the conflict’s centenary, the aim is to premiere the film at the BFI London Film Festival this autumn, accompanied by screenings in cinemas around the country. It’s sped up, it’s fast, like Charlie Chaplin, grainy, jumpy, scratchy, and it immediately blocks you from actually connecting with the events on screen. This footage looks like it was shot in the last week or two, with high-definition cameras. Trafalgar Releasing will distribute the film theatrically in the United Kingdom, whilst it will be aired on BBC One along with a companion “making-of” documentary. Every school in the United Kingdom will also receive a copy.
“We have made a movie which shows the experience of what it was like to fight in this war, not strategy [or] battles”.
They include a mass participation artwork on 10 June marking the act that gave the first British women the right to vote; Rachel Whiteread casting the inside of a Nissen hut and placing it in a Yorkshire forest where a prisoner of war camp was located; and Danny Boyle creating a “mass participation project across the UK” on 11 November, Armistice Day, with more details announced closer to the time. Created by the arts group Artichoke, it will involve women and girls in processions on the streets of Belfast, Cardiff, London and Edinburgh wearing the suffragette colours of green, white and violet.
The role of pigeons as message-carriers in the conflict will be celebrated in a work where a “large flock of pigeons, each carrying a tiny LED light” is “conducted” at dusk “in a spectacle of flight”.
He added: “It’s not the usual film you would expect of the First World War”.

The British Homing World Show of the Year featured more than 2,000 birds in the Empress Ballroom at the Winter Gardens. That was an increase on the 1,700 that entered last year. The popular event is reportedly worth around £10m to the resort’s economy and has also raised more than £3m for charity. This year, the exhibition boasted 120 trade stands. As well as being a social occasion, competitors were also chasing the title of Supreme Champion. Ian Evans, general manager of the Royal Pigeon Racing Association and organiser of the event, said the show had been a great success and regulars were already booking their hotels for next year. “I can’t see it ever moving from Blackpool,” he said.

For more than 150 years blue plaques have celebrated notable people and the buildings in which they lived.
But now a pigeon that delivered secret messages during the Second World War has become the first animal to be given the honour.
Mary, a carrier pigeon, was hit by shrapnel, wounded by pellets and attacked by German war hawks as she flew over the Pas De Calais.
Her loft in Exeter, Devon, was also bombed by the Luftwaffe in 1942 resulting in the deaths of many feathered comrades.
She lived with her owner, pigeon breeder Cecil ‘Charlie’ Brewer, and the property in Exeter’s West Street had its plaque unveiled at the weekend.
He had been made a special constable in 1941 with responsibility for general control of war pigeons.
Mr Brewer used his skills as a bootmaker to stitch up her wounds and also made Mary a small leather neck support to ease her injuries.
She lived with her owner, pigeon breeder Cecil ‘Charlie’ Brewer (right) and she died in 1950 and is buried with other animal heroes in the PDSA Pet Cemetery in Ilford, Essex
At the end of the war she was awarded the Dickin Medal for distinguished gallantry, the highest animal award for bravery.
She died in 1950 and is buried with other animal heroes in the PDSA Pet Cemetery in Ilford, Essex.
John Monks, of the Exeter Civic Society, said: ‘It’s a remarkable story of dedication to duty worthy of a blue plaque. But it is also a record of the roles humans required animals to play in bad times.’
Mr Brewer died in 1985, aged 90, having raised money for charity by giving talks on his beloved bird.

Las Vegas police say that 13 horses, 150 roosters and hens, 400 pigeons, two guinea pigs, and four turtles were confiscated from the home.
Officials confirm that the animals were living in deplorable conditions. Charges are expected to be filed against the owner of the home.
Las Vegas police and Animal Control were alerted to a possible animal hoarding situation at a home near Cheyenne Avenue and Lamb Boulevard.
Red Rock Search and Rescue also assisted in the removal of animals.
While some horses seemed to be healthy, others appeared to be distressed and neglected with matted fur and broken hooves.
Scripps sister station KTNV in Las Vegas also watched as about 100 roosters were taken away in carriers.
Neighbors said this all started when a horse escaped from the home around 6 a.m. Sunday. When police and animal control arrived, they began investigating the house and eventually started seizing animals.
