"Numbed by London city life, a young woman returns to Salford in search of her northern roots. Made as part of Red, White and Zero, an ill-fated portmanteau movie based on stories by Shelagh Delaney, The White Bus was the only section to get a cinema release. Through the eyes of her disillusioned protagonist, Delaney creates a beautifully warped city symphony about an industrial town vivid with history yet ever-changing. Screening with John Fletcher's About 'The White Bus' (1968, 57min), an early 'making of' documentary that offers fascinating insight behind the scenes.
Introduced by Dylan Cave (Curator, BFI National Archive)"
Interesting that the film about the film is longer than the film itself.
