NEW SHORTS: London Lives
16:00 Sun 13 Jan 2019
This fair city in all its glory. We criss-cross from the skyscraper forest of Canary Wharf back east to Dalston and across the river for a whistle-stop tour of Greenwich. There’s big business and capitalist excess, coming of age buffering against culture clashes, missed romances and magical realism. Even the humble fox gets their story told. Featuring Ed Skrein’s (Deadpool) directorial debut and Shiraz Haq (I am Nasrine). 91’
