 == Biography ==
-During World War II, Godfrey Laurence Albertyn served all through the East African, North African and Italian campaigns.  Subsequently he worked as a film editor first for [[African Film Productions]] and then for its various reincarnations, such as [[South African Screen Productions]] and [[Killarney Film Studios]].  Because he worked primarily on the AFP newsreels [[African Mirror]] and [[Ons Nuus]], there is no complete list of his credits, but documentaries he worked on include: 195* - ''[[Batting Strokes with Jackie McGlew]]'' / ''[[Kolfwerk deur Jackie McGlew]]'' (Director: [[Forbes Stuart]]), 1962 – ''[[Century of Achievement]]'' (with [[Doris Finlay]]) (Director: [[Raymond Hancock]]), 1963 – ''[[Bastion of the South]]'' / ''[[Vesting van die Suide]]'' (Director: [[Raymond Hancock]]), 1968 – ''[[The Unkindest Cut of All: South Africa’s Non-Whites and the Olympic Games]]'' (+ writer) (Director: [[Erling Subkleve]]), 1971 – ''[[Breakthrough]]'' (Director: [[Italo Bernicchi]]), 1977 – ''[[Transkei: the Road to Independence]]'' (Director: [[John Brown]]).  He stayed with Killarney until the studio closed, but on the voters’ roll of 1989 he was still listed as a film editor.  His first marriage was to Gwendoline Hamlin, who was the daughter of [[H.J. Hamlin]], the actor who played Sir Henry Curtis in the silent film versions of ''[[King Solomon’s Mines]]'' (1919) and ''[[Allan Quatermain]]'' (1919), but she died at a young age in 1958.
