SCREENINGS AND EVENTS

Thursday 6 March 7 for 7.30pm start
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
