Harry Bruce Woolfe

Harry Bruce Woolfe CBE (1880 in Marylebone, London – 1965 in Brighton) was an English film producer and occasional director who founded British Instructional Films. The company focused on documentaries, nature films, and works concerning World War I.^[1] He was himself a veteran so had an interest in using film to re-enact the war. This links to his being referred to as an "ardent imperialist" who intended to tell heroic stories of said war.^[2] In addition to work on war films he initiated the Secrets of Nature series.^[3]
