Does anyone have any video footage or voice recordings of George Orwell?

Question

Any links would be greatly appreciated

Orwell died 21 Jan 1950, so theres a chance some video is knocking around...

Apparently there are no recordings of him but here is an actor portraying him being interviewed:

Answer 2

Video footage - hardly likely, given the fact that he died before video came along. But there seem to be no film records, either, nor voice.

"There is no archive footage of George Orwell: not a single frame of film, no voice recordings. All that remains on record is one oil painting and a stack of photographs - potentially a problem when making a film about the writer's life and work. Instead, this film uses Orwell's own words, spoken by actor Chris Langham, to bring the man to life in this dramatised biography."

"George Orwell – A Life in Pictures uses a bold and original approach to put him on the screen. Chris Langham plays the writer and every word he speaks is as written by Orwell himself. But the pictures are all ‘invented’ – a specially created ‘archive’ because there’s not a single frame of archive footage of Orwell in existence. Not even one word or one of his trademark hacking coughs on recorded audio. All that is left is one oil painting and a couple of hundred photographs. By bringing to life his extraordinary treasure trove of writing - nine books and some eight thousand pages of journalism, essays, diaries and letters – the film creates a unique dramatised biography of Orwell."
