UK Data Protection Act Flaunted

In an interesting art project, where the director wanted to make a movie out of only CCTV footage (which the UK, under the DPA has to provide quickly and for a fixed fee if you want to see your own face with other faces blacked out) about a woman living in a land of faceless people, it turned out that the holders of the CCTV footage seemed totally unaware of the DPA or tried to break it.
