Denis Mitchell (filmmaker)
Denis Mitchell (11 August 1911 – 1990) was an award winning British documentary filmmaker, renowned for his innovative radio and television documentaries.〔Sexton, Jamie, "Denis Mitchell", in Ian Aitken (ed) ''Encyclopedia of the Documentary Film'', Routledge, 2005〕 His radio and television career can broadly be characterised by the constant interest Mitchell displayed in "giving voice to the voiceless" and in the rhythms and prosody of everyday vernacular speech.〔"Denis Mitchell: Master of Documentary", ''The Listener'', 25 April 1975〕
== Early life in Britain and South Africa ==
The son of a Congregationalist minister, Mitchell was born in Cheshire, and his family moved from one church community to another throughout his childhood. After some time spent at RADA pursuing an ultimately unsuccessful attempt to become an actor, at the age of 18 he moved to South Africa, the country his parents had emigrated to several years previously. At the outbreak of war he joined the South African Army, first in the artillery, and later in Cairo, where he attained the rank of Captain, and organising entertainment for the troops from visiting celebrities such as Bob Hope and Noël Coward.〔Leonard Miall "Obituary: Denis Mitchell", ''The Independent'', 4 October 1990〕
On demobilisation, he gained a job with the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) as a writer-producer. Mitchell began to develop an interest in recording equipment, after experimenting with wire-recorders which had been left by the American army. He used wire recording to record interviews with agricultural workers, and this led him to the revelation that entire radio programmes could be based on recorded speech, and that "the ability to record people talking at their jobs and in their homes was not a mere novely but a most important new means of communication."〔
