This Sunday at 6.30pm i'll be heading over to Passing Clouds for a little Sunday screening of The battle for Broadway Market. It was filmed late 2005 i've still to watch it, yet sense the sentiment is as relevant then as it is now. With ever bulging developments threatening the whole vibe of the east, run down historical beauty, exchanged for plastic commercialism. Note the Savoy Cafe post on East London Local. I think it is important we focus on what it is we want around us, what we want to see everyday and the type of world we want to live in. The film is made by political documentarian Emily James and explores the battle to save Arthur's Cafe as the developers attempt to build luxury flats in its place. See trailer below...
Emily also produced this and several other rather engaging short films of a social explorative nature, rather endearing. Be sure to link through to vimeo and check out the others...
