To celebrate the first major exhibition of British folk art, we sent a film crew around the country to capture the eccentricities and creative brilliance of folk culture today.
 
Tate Britain's new exhibition introduces the extraordinary and surprising works of some of Britain's unsung artists.  Steeped in tradition and often created by self-taught artists and artisans, the often humble but always remarkable objects on show include everything from ships' figureheads to quirky shop signs, Toby jugs to elaborately crafted quilts.

Film by James Pearson-Howes and Chris Read
Music by Vision Fortune 'Underscore'
Edited by Conan Roberts

Special thanks to the people of Blue Ribbon Obby Oss, Minehead Hobby Horse, Royal Shrovetide Football, Castleton Garland Day, The Hunting of the Earl of Rone and Jack in the Green.
