Leo The Last film screening and end of residency display at the V&A Museum

19/1/2015

0 Comments

 
After 6 months, my V&A residency is drawing to a close. It's been a busy, but wonderful time connecting the museum with a new housing development in North Kensington. As community artist, I've worked closely and drawn inspiration from the local residents and visitors to my studio. Here is a reminder of my engagements with vinyl, architects and housing issues: V&A blog. 
I hope to go out in style with two premeditated bangs.

Sunday 1st February, 10am  - Free screening of Leo The Last at the Gate Cinema, Notting Hill

"He couldn't change the world, but he changed his street." 

Leo The Last was directed by John Boorman in 1969 between his influential Hollywood films, Point Blank and Deliverance. It is wildly ambitious and experimental in tone fusing drama, comedy and political comment. The story concerns an aristocratic landlord who moves into a slum area of Notting Hill and becomes radicalised by his oppressed Afro-Caribbean residents. The film was made on Testerton Street prior to it’s redevelopment into the Lancaster West Estate. 

This is a rare screening of a 35mm print and is an 18 certificate. This event has been funded by the V&A Museum and a City Living, Local Life grant from RBKC. 

If you would like to attend the free screening, please contact me for tickets: cgras@me.com
