Welcome

Haileyburiana is a miscellany of things I got up to as President of the Haileybury Society in 2010 - 2011 and random musings on things to do with Haileybury. Whether you are an OH, a current pupil or parent, a teacher or other friend of the school I hope you will find something interesting here. The blog is no longer regularly updated, but there may still be occasional posts.

Film Noir

Christopher Nolan (M 1984) is one of the most successful directors in the modern film industry. He directed the Batman film, The Dark Knight, and more recently Inception. He began filming after Haileybury when he was at University College London. This short film, Doodlebug, is one of the ones he made there. It stars Jeremy Theobald who collaborated on another of Nolan's projects, Following. Nolan has been described as a major exponent of 'Neo Noir' filming.


Whether this represents life in the Melvill Dormitory in the late 1980s I leave to you to decide.
