Free cinema emerged during the 1950s within the rise of television, it was a documentary styled way of filming. Free Cinema was the general title given to a series of six programmes of short documentaries shown at the National Film Theatre in London between February 1956 and March 1959. They were the predecessors to British New Wave, using experimental styles to record sound on location and capture footage using 16mm cameras which meant the quality was extremely low. The crew were minimal if any, and the technological advancements were extremely limited, this left room for innovation and experimentation. Most documentaries presented working class people in there local surrounding, going through there day to day lives.
