Harry Bruce Woolfe (1880, Marylebone, London – 1965, 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. He was himself a veteran so had an interested in using film to re-enact the war. This links to him being referred to as an “ardent imperialist” who intended to tell heroic stories of said war. In addition to work on war films he initiated the Secrets of Nature series.
