LUX SALON: WHAT DO WE GET OUT OF IT?
on Wednesday 18 April 7pm for 7.30pm start

IS THAT IT?
Wilf Thust / Four Corners (UK 1985 16mm)
Three selected episodes, 43 min

Three episodes from a rare film made by Wilf Thust for Four Corners  
Film Workshop, based in Bethnal Green. Four Corners was one of  
several workshops throughout the UK which benefited from funding by  
the nascent Channel 4, as well as a relaxation of broadcast union  
laws, to work with people and audiences outside of the normal context  
for film and video practices in the 1980s.

Produced from material gathered during a series of Monday workshops  
with young people in Tower Hamlets, Is That It frames the  
relationship between the film maker and the workshop participants as  
it develops over a two-year period. Photographs, plays, drawing and  
writing by the group are cut together with socio-economic statistics  
on the borough, and reflections on the workshop process. Open ended  
and at times problematic, the film can be seen as a treated document  
of an attempt to open up communication “in a group where different  
classes, races, ages meet”. (W.T.)

The screening will be accompanied by an audience discussion with the  
film maker [and other guest to be announced]. The discussion will  
centre on the implications of the historical model of ‘integrated  
practice’ for contemporary film and video institutions, and the  
recent shift toward top-down policy models for social inclusion.

Selected and chaired by Tom Roberts.
