LUX Salon: A HOME IN THE EAST
To celebrate the current East festival (www.findeast.co.uk) LUX
presents 4 films of East End home life. Ian Bourn's The End of the
World (1982) features Ian and Helen Chadwick enjoying a quiet
afternoon of domestic bliss, Guy Sherwin's Views From Home
(1987/2005) is a nostalgic invocation of sunlight and street sounds
and secret life of his East End flat circa 1980s. John Smith's
Hackney Marshes (TV Version) (1978) is a rarely seen film commission
from Thames Television documenting the lives of the inhabitants in a
tower block overlooking Hackney Marshes, unravelling the TV
documentary format with John Smith's usual style and wit. Finally
William English and Sandra Cross's What did you eat today?(2001)
follows a culinary day in the life of Hugh de la Cruz, then back home
to have spaghetti for tea.
LUX Salon takes place at LUX, 3rd Floor, Shacklewell Studios, 18
Shacklewell Lane, E8 2EZ. see http://www.lux.org.uk/about/index.html
