Film: Down & Dirty: American D.I.Y Restored
Emerging from the physical and cultural decay of downtown NYC, the punk scene combined an aggressive rejection of popular taste with an enthusiastic D.I.Y. approach – producing works that defied categorisation, defiling the audience’s preconceived ideas of pop culture.
This strand of restorations explores the impact of this oppositional ethos and lo-fi aesthetic on a new generation of American filmmakers in the following decades, with a selection of films that explored controversial subjects, countered mainstream representations and offered other, more radical ways of seeing gender, sexuality and race on screen.
Date: From Thursday 3rd August - Thursday 17th August
Price: From £5

Munch of The Week
Noble Rot
“I really rate the guys at Noble Rot. It’s run by really brilliant people who have an incredible magazine which has become a monthly mag, almost like a cult thing. It’s about wine and they’ve sort of changed the whole landscape of wine understanding. Both their restaurants are really good and quite old-fashioned and so I big them up.” - Gilles Peterson
