Ventris is a ninety-minute documentary by Martin Pickles and tries to establish Michael's outlook and motivation for his decipherment. The film was shot in London, Cambridge and Knossos and features extensive interviews with those who knew Michael and those who curate archives of his work.

This website is in part an accompaniment to that film project but also an opportunity to publish some of the wealth of research material I have amassed and thought might be useful as an online resource. My researches led in a variety of unexpected directions and that Michael sits in the middle of a web of interesting and interwoven threads: academia, archaeology, broadcasting, computing, data management, the Festival Of Britain, Modernist Art and Architecture, Psychoanalysis, Socialism, the Welfare State and more.
