TDirectors of a film that brings the World War I archives to life must arrange additional screenings after an unexpected sale.

They will not age, directed by Peter Jackson, an Oscar winner, was shown for the first time last night and originally planned as unique, but the race will now be extended due to popular demand.

A spokesman for the filmmakers said, "Initially, the project was to make a shorter documentary, but the film became a feature film and the response was very positive.

"Distributors have been looking for the best way to get it out so more people can see it. Details of more screenings will be available in the coming days. "

The film will be broadcast by the BBC on Armistice Day, but the full 3D experience is only available on the big screen.

Jackson, director of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, told Forces TV: "The film aims to convey that the war was not that far away. Most of the British and the former Empire – Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa – have a family that was in this war, great-grandfathers or great-grand-uncles.

"It was a short time ago and I think it's great if we can just take a break and think for a moment, because they are part of our family, of us. We always carry the DNA that they had.

"Let's stop for a moment in our modern life and think about what they have experienced."

The images were stained and slowed, accompanied by voices of veterans of the conflict.

The director was inspired by documents from the archives of the Imperial War Museum, and scenes from the battlefield earned the film 15 certificates. A copy will be sent to all secondary schools in Britain before Armistice Day.
