<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">"A polyphonic meditation on time and urban space, a cinematic version of one of Charles Parker’s ‘Radio Ballads’, this Michael Rosen-scripted evocation of the borough of Hackney is a joyous wonder, an instant addition to the modern canon of filmic London. Super-8 streetscapes and archival alleyways rub up against Al Bowlly tunes and Malian kora music, the testimonies of contemporary Congolese immigrants are heard alongside proud retellings of how anti-fascist Jews purged the neighbourhood of Mosley’s henchmen in the 1940s, and child rhymes hang beautifully over a much maligned and increasingly gentrification-threatened area." </span></div>

This is a powerful plea for a liveable Hackney, that can continue to welcome the world rather than only its bankers and landlords.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 26px;"> </span></span></span></span></div>

and mixing rarely seen archive footage with new cinematography, Under the
Cranes offers a lyrical, painterly evocation of Hackney, over several hundred
years. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">This
is a film which poses questions about the nature of regeneration in Hackney in
the recent period. It also explores the theme of migration, showing some of the
struggles that people go through to secure a place for themselves, (fighting
racists if necessary), but also how migration brings diversity and the seeds of
renewal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

It really extends the tradition of the ‘city symphony’, launched in the 1920s before film could speak, and Michael Rosen’s collage of voices – historic, contemporary and imagined – creates a constantly shifting counterpoint to the equally varied images that Emma-Louise Williams has gathered. </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 26px;">But the stories it tells are rarely predictable: home of the world’s first plastic; a cab-horse’s point of view on traffic (courtesy of <i style="font-style: italic; line-height: 26px;">Black Beauty</i>); trying to buy the freehold of a tandoori restaurant.

Like another chronicler of Hackney, Iain Sinclair, the film’s makers want to challenge the logic of ‘regeneration’, and show its human cost. This is a powerful plea for a liveable Hackney, that can continue to welcome the world rather than only its bankers and landlords.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 19px; line-height: 26px;"> </span></span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 26px;"> </span></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Here's something I wrote which was first published in the Arts pages of the Morning Star 13th Feb 2013</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; line-height: normal;">"When I first saw Michael Rosen's play for voices, "Hackney Streets" in 2008, I was so moved by this collage of</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; line-height: 15px;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: medium; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">voices and lives which moved across time and space, that I wanted to engage further with it. So I had the idea of taking Michael's original piece of writing and </span></span><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">making a textured, audio-visual art piece with it, (or film-poem, as it has been called.) </span></span><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: normal;"><br style="line-height: 15px;" /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; line-height: normal;"><br /></span></span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; line-height: normal;">I started making "Under the Cranes" (the title is a line from the final poem in the film), at the beginning of 2009 and continued to work on it </span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: medium; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">over a two-year period. My background is in radio and I had never made a film before, so I just jumped in, before I had a chance to scare <br style="line-height: 17px;" />myself out of the idea! In this sense, the film evolved as I worked on it with a tiny team, recording voices, researching the archive, </span></span><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">shooting on Super 16mm and Super 8mm film on 4 separate occasions, finding music, editing, recording and creating the sound track.</span></span><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: normal;"><br style="line-height: 15px;" /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; line-height: normal;">The film was completed in March 2011 and premiered in April 2011 as part of the East End Film Festival at the Rio Cinema in Dalston.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: normal;"><br /></span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: normal;">I am delighted that we continue to find new audiences for a not-for-profit film like "Under the Cranes" and I think this is largely a </span></span><span style="font-size: medium; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">testament to the power of </span></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">Michael's engaged poetic writing. </span></span><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: normal;"><br style="line-height: 15px;" /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; line-height: normal;"><br /></span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; line-height: normal;">One of the main themes which runs through the film is the question of "regeneration". This has become a global phenomenon and yet, as an idea and a fact on the ground, it can only be interrogated locally. <br style="line-height: 15px;" /><br style="line-height: 15px;" />"Under the Cranes" is indeed "local" but what it looks at is happening or has happened in places like Paris, Detroit and Berlin.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 15px;"> </span>The pattern is nearly always the same; there is an area of dilapidated, derelict property in the inner city; it comes to be<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 15px;"> </span>squatted or there are local people trying to use it for shops, cafes or workshops; City authorities get hold of it; they sell it<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 15px;"> </span>off to a developer who moves the local people out and "regenerates" the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 15px;">area</span> by putting up blocks and bringing in the<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 15px;"> </span>multi-nationals to sell coffee!<br style="line-height: 15px;" /><br style="line-height: 15px;" />The other local/global theme that the film explores is migration, showing some of the struggles (fighting racists, if<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 15px;"> </span>necessary) that people go through to secure a place for themselves, but also how migration brings diversity and<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 15px;"> </span>the seeds of renewal. Again, this can only be interrogated meaningfully at a local level, though,of course, it's a worldwide phenomenon which any audience can relate to their own experience and family background.<br style="line-height: 15px;" /><br style="line-height: 15px;" />In "Under the Cranes" I have tried to approach the subject in an artistic way, defamiliarising what we're asked to look at, inviting the audience to see the places and spaces they live and work in, in a new way. At the very least,<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 15px;"> </span>it invites them to ask questions about how these places are appropriated, owned, used and changed. </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 12px;">I've tried to contrast the lives lived by real people across generations with the way in which developers try to get in and make </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 12px;">money out of the built environment "in the moment." </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;"><br style="line-height: 15px;" />In the end, for me, "Under the Cranes" is an expression of feeling about "place" and "home" and the beauty to be found in an urban site, which is why you see in the film the work of three painters who depict the urban landscape - Leon Kossoff, Jock McFadyen and James MacKinnon - just as<b style="font-weight: bold; line-height: 15px;"> </b>I have tried to do with the camera."</span></span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A polyphonic meditation on time and urban space, a cinematic version of one of Charles Parker’s ‘Radio Ballads’, this Michael Rosen-scripted evocation of the borough of Hackney is a joyous wonder, an instant addition to the modern canon of filmic London. Super-8 streetscapes and archival alleyways rub up against Al Bowlly tunes and Malian kora music, the testimonies of contemporary Congolese immigrants is heard alongside proud retellings of how anti-fascist Jews purged the neighbourhood of Mosley’s henchmen in the 1940s, and child rhymes hang beautifully over a much maligned and increasingly gentrification-threatened area.</span><br />

Cities are challenging, both to live in and to define. They are each a unique life form constructed from many smaller ones. For some they are amazing, baffling or frustrating, particularly for the planners and architects responsible for so much of the life that goes on within them. For others, they are a place for living. You may <em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">feel</em> alone in the city but you are actually always among others.</div>

Art provides us with various creative methods for engaging with the complexity of urban environments. "We need art," writes Jane Jacobs in her book <em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Death and the Life of Great American Cities</em>, "to show us meanings, to illuminate the relationship between the life that each of us embodies and the life outside us." Owing to the intimate relationship it maintains with its subject matter, <em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Under The Cranes</em>, from the first-time filmmaker Emma-Louise Williams, is a lively and complex portrait of Hackney that does not conform to conventional genres, nor does it attempt to explain or document Hackney in any straightforward manner. Instead it is both an artistic response to the area in film and sound, and an adaptation of a “<a href="http://www.michaelrosen.co.uk/hackneystreets.html" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(136, 136, 136); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #ee3126; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">play for voices</a>” about the East London borough, written by the children’s writer and broadcaster Michael Rosen. The film is also a gentle provocation, challenging the rhetoric of council-led regeneration and development initiatives by choosing to focus on the people and the buildings that are affected by various top-down decision-making processes. This focus resists the possibility of the film becoming perhaps too inward-looking, and allows Hackney’s current situation to be considered alongside those of other places around the UK affected by regeneration projects.</div>

The film is incredibly well researched, disclosing various little-known facts about the past and present of Hackney, including its diverse communities and its history of highly skilled manual labour. The adapted script from <em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Hackney Voices</em> is accompanied by original footage of present-day Hackney and rarely seen archive footage depicting social life and events in the borough. It is also interspersed with poignant musical intervals and shots of paintings made of the area that reflect the artistic nature of William’s own response in the film.</div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 20px; padding-right: 20px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
In its meticulous research, subject matter, and imaginative, trans-temporal narrative, <em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Under the Cranes</em> recalls the writing of Iain Sinclair, or the films of Patrick Keiller, particularly with the long shots and the static camera. However whereas Sinclair and Keiller both maintain a singular, overarching and authoritative narrator throughout their work, this film maintains the kaleidoscope of Hackney Voices from Rosen’s play. It even brings in more new voices (the old woman who explains, “I used to run the buses during the war… not a lot of people know that” was an addition suggested by Williams).</div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 20px; padding-right: 20px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
It was Jane Jacobs who wrote, “Intricate minglings of different uses in cities are not a form of chaos. On the contrary, they represent a complex and highly developed form of order.” Not only is there no master narrator that leads a viewer through this film, <em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Under the Cranes</em>, like the urban environment it seeks to portray, is a delicate “mingling” of diverse components that come together in a similarly complex form of order. The words of Jacobs, “Lively, diverse, intense cities contain the seeds of their own regeneration,” are a fitting epigraph to this film, where spoken words and pictures jostle and interweave in friendly and lively difference.</div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 20px; padding-right: 20px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
The editing of sound and images is carefully done and a sophisticated achievement. For example, in one moment from the film, we see archive footage of slum housing from the early 20th Century. At the same time a male narrator recalls the sight of decrepit and falling-down housing, which corresponds with this footage, but suddenly the camera cuts to a present-day shot of the interior of Sutton House and the narrator talks about a man named Burbage building a theatre. At this moment we realise that the voice actually belongs to William Shakespeare, and that we have seamlessly traveled backwards and forwards through time over hundreds of years, simultaneously, in a matter of minutes. The ability to achieve such instantaneous and simultaneous time-space travel is unique to film and brilliantly executed here. It is as the British film artist Tacita Dean explained, “Art on film makes us conscious of the time and space we occupy, and gives us an insight into the nature of time itself.” Chronological time is here revealed to be in fact merely an idea among many others. It is the people in this film, with all their idiosyncratic stories, that are seen to endure.</div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 20px; padding-right: 20px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
The film has been accused of being nostalgic, presumably suggesting that the film is in some way delusional (nostalgia in Western cultures was first diagnosed as a psychological illness that inflicted soldiers at war), or that it in some way romanticises Hackney. Beyond the fact that there is nothing romantic about the decrepit buildings, squalid living conditions or fascist, anti-Semitic rallies that feature in the archive footage (as Williams has been keen to emphasise in post-film Q&A sessions), I find such observations about the film to be misjudged. A lot of the archive footage in the film features the lives of working people and their families. When cameras were still a novelty in the everyday lives of ordinary people, they tended to be reserved for celebrations or happy occasions (in fact, they often still are if the pictures on most people’s Facebook profiles account for anything). The early, domestic still-image cameras didn’t work properly unless it was a sunny day, hence giving the misguided perception that it was always sunny, back in those days. It seems unfortunate that the film’s focus on everyday people through its use of the archive might be mistaken for being merely a nostalgic tendency, when it seems more appropriately an attempt to bring working-class people back into the history of what is a working-class area, through a considered use of images.</div>

Nostalgia, as Milan Kundera explained in his novel <em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/125404-the-greek-word-for-return-is-nostos-algos-means-suffering" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(136, 136, 136); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #ee3126; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Ignorance</a></em>, is precisely the feeling of an unappeased longing to return somewhere.

While <em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Under the Cranes</em> makes emotional and bittersweet references to the past lives of Hackney, it never appears to express longing for a lost past. On the contrary, the film demonstrates how much the past and present are intimately connected. It is critical of the loss of London’s progressive post-war social housing initiatives, and their replacement with profit-driven regeneration projects. But when considered alongside other recent works that document and lament these various and seemingly irreconcilable changes—such as Ian Sinclair's book <em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Hackney, That Rose Red Empire</em>, and the more recent <em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">London Preambulator</em> and <em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Four Aces</em>—<em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Under the Cranes </em>stands out for its unique form of optimism. Far from nostalgic delusion and longing, there is instead a sense that overcoming struggle is historically part of the fabric of this area.

Blending drama and documentary styles, Under the Cranes is a beautifully conceived meditation on the multicultural history of Hackney and the changes that continue to shape this part of East London. Director Emma-Louise Williams seeks to counter the prevailing perception of the inner city as a site of failure, ugliness and misdeed through a socio-poetics of everyday life. Breaking with the linear narrative convention, the audience is invited to apprehend the city as a sequence of interwoven vignettes: 'past in the present; present in the past. The screening will be followed by a Q & A with poet Michael Rosen and Emma-Louise Williams. Accompanied by “The Changing Face of Hackney” exhibition of local people’s work.</div>

“ Engaging, gentle, dreamlike – Williams’ Hackney is a layered, shifting place teeming with multiple voices and realities, echoed verbally by Rosen’s collage of reminiscence, characteristically generous poetry and collected urban folksongs. Rosen’s presence reminds us of east London’s reputation as a place of political upheaval”</div>

This short film created and produced by Four Lovely Ladies Productions surveys life and death; journeying into the open expanse of the Thames estuary on a dated train that runs to the end of the world’s longest pleasure pier in Southend-On-Sea. <br style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />We begin our journey led by the camera, exploring the scene as the slow, rickety carriages travel further away from land. The beautifully bleak location oozes with nostalgia and mystery, immersing us in an enigmatic sense of purgatory.. With a change of weather, isolation transforms itself into a heavenly sense of hope, as the train reaches its destination. The filmmakers begin encountering visitors, painting a raw portrait of people drawn to this off-season seaside pier in the depths of winter. <br style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />The interviews create fleeting intimate moments with strangers who speak of fond memories, regrets and hope for the future. <br style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />The day draws to an end, and the train begins its long, slow voyage back to land as the visitors begin to divulge into their beliefs about life, death, lost ones and the after-life. The train arrives at the station and its passengers disembark, wandering off to rejoin everyday life, leaving their time at Southend pier behind – a hazy memory.<br style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><span class="details" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; clear: both; float: left; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 4px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 4px;"><a href="http://www.lidf.co.uk/film/end-of-the-line/" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; color: #3c6c92; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;">More Details</a> | <a href="http://www.lidf.co.uk/film/end-of-the-line/" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; color: #3c6c92; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;">Rate Film</a> | <a href="http://www.lidf.co.uk/film/end-of-the-line/" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; color: #3c6c92; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;">Leave Comment</a><span style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"></span></span></div>

Blending drama and documentary styles, Under the Cranes is a beautifully conceived meditation on the multicultural of history Hackney and the changes that continue to shape this part of East London. Director Emma-Louise Williams seeks to counter the prevailing perception of the inner city as a site of failure, ugliness and misdeed through a socio-poetics of everyday life. Breaking with the linear narrative convention, the audience is invited to apprehend the city as a sequence of interwoven vignettes: 'past in the present; present in the past.'<br style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />A script derived from poet Michael Rosen's documentary play, Hackney Streets, is layered with graceful location shots and rare archive footage. The film's soundscape mixes poetry, music, folksong and location recordings, while the picture juxtaposes slow panning shots with paintings by East London artists, Leon Kossoff, Jock McFadyen and James MacKinnon. We hear from the famous (Shakespeare in Shoreditch; 'Black Beauty' author, Anna Sewell; and poet Anna Barbauld) alongside a Jamaican builder, a Bangladeshi restaurant owner and the Jewish 43 Group taking on Oswald Mosley in Dalston. Blending past and present, the film offers a lyrical, painterly defence of the everyday, while raising questions about the process of regeneration and the meaning we find in the places we call home.</div>

<br />
“ Engaging, gentle, dreamlike – Williams’ Hackney is a layered, shifting place teeming with multiple voices and realities, echoed verbally by Rosen’s collage of reminiscence, characteristically generous poetry and collected urban folksongs. Rosen’s presence reminds us of east London’s reputation as a place of political upheaval.”<br />
<b>Sight and Sound</b><br />
<br />
“ A marvellous evocation of Hackney – the place, the peoples and their dreams too. It reveals the ruin, disconnection and the frailty of life without giving an inch to literary misanthropy or the voyeuristic perspectives in which east London is exploited for tales of misery, depravity and social failure. “<br />
<b>Patrick Wright, cultural historian<br />
</b><br />
“ This beautifully constructed film urges us to recognise what is already there, at the heart of a diverse and thriving community, while raising the question that perhaps we are all living in the shadow of the cranes. “<br />
<b>Socialist Review</b><br />
<br />
“ A wonderfully life-affirming film-poem of place full of lost time and effacements, reefs of street-markets and shop fronts, painted in stock-brick yellows, steel shutter greys and silvery monochromes; and full of people, always people, the voices who have passed this way and called this home. As a collage of the city at its most quick, it has the ache and tug of what has been and gone; as a moving study of resourcefulness, resistance and resilience, it collapses time and returns each story to its street. “<br />
<b>Paul Farley, poet<br />
</b><br />
<br />
“ For questionable reasons, in the media, the sight in a market of African textile prints and the sound of a Cockney voice selling tomatoes are separated. It’s untruthful. But the truth is there on Ridley Road Market and it is shot through the film too. And I loved it. This film is a rare thing. “<br />
<b>Lemn Sissay, poet</b><br />
<br />
“ Under the Cranes is an argument to your emotions. Old grainy archive footage seems to invest even the most mundane scenes with a bitter-sweet glow. When these images are paired with sparse piano or traditional Turkish music – and beatboxing and Toumani Diabete – you’ve got a guaranteed tearjerker. But this film is not about nostalgia. The film finds beauty in trash-collecting, and places modern scenes next to old. “<br />
<b>Quietus Review<br />
</b><br />
“ A film-poem that mixes documentary footage and poetry to explore the effect of urban redevelopment on local people. The film weaves together the history of one small part of London in a wonderfully impressionistic way. “<br />
<b>Socialist Worker<br />

LOCKED OUT<br />
Joan Sekler, US 2010 [12A], 60 mins<br />
<br />
The multinational, Rio Tinto group, historically known for draconian measures, attempted to severely cut the pay and conditions of 570 borax miners in the isolated, desert town of Boron, California, in 2010. Joan Sekler, independent filmmaker, crafts the course of the miners' action during the 107 days of a lock out. With solidarity at local and national level and the support of their community the miners agree to a new contract with the majority of their benefits intact.<br />
<br />
<br />
UNDER THE CRANES<br />
Emma-Louise Williams, UK 2011 [12A], 56 mins<br />
<br />
Director Emma-Louise Williams has collaborated with Hackney poet and resident Michael Rosen to produce a film-poem that explores the inter-connection between ourselves and where we live, based on his play Hackney Streets. The changing face of Hackney and its residents emerges through current images, urban sounds and rare historical footage, and Rosen's voice illuminates and questions the threats and the choices fostered by the dubious activities of Hackney Council and the regeneration of the area.<br />
<br />
Discussion led by Emma-Louise Williams and Michael Rosen<br />

About the LSFC<br />
<br />
"Now in its twenty-first year, the London Socialist Film Co-op promotes socialist culture by arranging screenings where people can see films and take part in a panel discussion.<br />
<br />
We show recent cinema releases and pictures that are rarely screened because they are old films, foreign films or were censored. We show films that inform and educate.<br />
<br />
We encourage our members and like-minded filmmakers to make films and DVDs and we are always interested to hear of appropriate films - low budget shorts or campaign videos as well as fully funded professional programmes - that we might want to screen."Under the Craneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02397405094624950202noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7925188862569656257.post-38581042664589256252011-11-08T04:20:00.000-08:002011-11-08T04:20:12.161-08:00New Year 2012 Screening at The Renoir Cinema, LondonAdvance Notice<br />

Its script is based on a play by poet Michael Rosen called Hackney Voices. Rosen lives in Hackney, east London, where the film was shot.<br />
It has a intriguing cast of characters, all with a Hackney connection.<br />
They include William Shakespeare, Black Beauty author Anna Sewell and poet Anna Barbauld. There is also a Jamaican builder, a Bangladeshi restaurant owner, a Turkish barber and the Jewish 43 Group that took on the fascist Oswald Mosley after the Second World War.<br />
The film mixes documentary and drama, and asks the audience to participate. We shouldn’t watch passively, but should engage with the questions—why are these buildings built or knocked down and not others? How do we live in the city?<br />
Director Emma-Louise Williams has dug up some rare and fascinating archive footage which is interspersed throughout. It ranges from shots of the unbelievably decaying slums of the 1920s, to footage from the 1950s showing the replacement yellow-brick council maisonettes.<br />
Turbaned women stand in doorways and hang out of windows on the new estates as they watch their children—dressed almost like mini adults except for the bows in the girls’ hair.<br />
<span class="crosshead" style="font-size: 18px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Shenanigans</span><br />
Rosen wants us to interrogate the word “regeneration”. He asks the question how many lies are told in the name of regeneration?<br />
He goes through the shenanigans that Hackney council were involved in during the building of the new overground railway, reopened in 2010, as an example.<br />
Hussain ran a tandoori restaurant in the heart of Hackney.<br />
He recounts how for years he negotiated with the council about buying it.<br />
Eventually they told him to go along to a property auction to get it. He went, only to see it bought by an offshore property developer as part of a massive job lot which the council had organised.<br />
The site is now part of the massive Dalston Square flats being developed by Barretts.<br />
Over shots of these flats (the cheapest is a quarter of a million pounds), Rosen recites an ode to the speculators over the images:<br />
"They dream of childless towers<br />
Of one-bed, two-bed apartments<br />
No need for swings or slides<br />
No need for the visiting nurse<br />
They dream of weekday workers<br />
Heading home at weekends<br />
They dream of childless towers."<br />
Some of the most riveting and moving footage is an anti-fascist demo heavily surrounded by police in Ridley Road market. On the other side of the road Oswald Mosley and his fascists hold a rally with the slogan “Britain for the British”.<br />
<span class="crosshead" style="font-size: 18px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Unconscious</span><br />
A voiceover tells the personal tale of how the fascists cornered a small group of Jewish people and beat them unconscious. But in 1945 Jewish ex‑servicemen organised the 43 Group which managed to break up 15 outdoor fascist meetings.<br />
Ridley Road market is shown through the years. Butchers’ stalls of the 1950s have price tickets showing that the meat originated from Aberdeen, Argentina—and Empire!<br />
Modern footage shows the market at night. The camera tracks down the whole road and the different cries of street traders ring in our ears.<br />
The film weaves together the history of one small part of London in a wonderfully impressionistic way.<br />
It features some really beautiful paintings. Particularly magical is Tower with Gardens by James Mackinnon. One minute you see the actual tower block on film, then it dissolves into a dreamlike painting of the same block.<br />
There are wide sweeping aerial shots—row upon row of Victorian stock houses surrounded by trees—and then those gigantic cranes hovering on the skyline waiting to pounce.<br />
But in the end the film is optimistic, because it is filled with the raised voices of Hackney people.<br />
Despite David Cameron’s declarations, this multicultural area has a lot to say through its resourcefulness and resilience.<br />

"Urban Regeneration" cast a long shadow over the proceedings like, well, a giant high-rise apartment block over a local community market. With the Olympics looming, East London Line recently completed and Dalston Square Tower recently open for business, it's natural to talk about how the built environment is impacting this rapidly changing area of Hackney and Tower Hamlets. Here's a few of the provocative films the Quietus checked out:</div><div style="color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 2em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;">Surprisingly for a local film festival, the screening of <b><i>Under the Cranes</i></b> at the historic Rio Cinema was packed full of film fans, local residents and randoms coaxed in off the street by local writer Michael Rosen – whose play the film is based on. Rosen's disembodied voices talk both frankly and poetically, through a thick east end drawl, about Hackney while archive footage and gently wandering tracking shots paint the scene, much like Patrick Keiller's <i>London</i>, an obvious reference point. This is mixed with more classic documentary history including striking images and stories of the Mosely race riot.</div><div style="color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 2em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;"><i>Under the Cranes</i> is perhaps the wrong title. Those expecting a cogent, detailed argument about urban regeneration and the fate of inner city neighbourhoods may be disappointed. Although specific reference is made to the Dalston Square development ("Childless Towers" which were<a href="http://opendalston.blogspot.com/" style="color: #111111; text-decoration: underline;" target="out">pushed</a> through planning despite local residents protests) urbanism is not the focus here. <i>Under the Cranes</i> sits much better with the recent explosion of work, such as Ian Sinclair's book <i>Hackney, That Rose Red Empire</i>, last year's <i>London Preambulator</i> and <i>The Four Aces</i>, which document and in various ways lament the demise of the East End Borough. But in this context, it is certainly one of the stronger entries because it gives a sense of Hackney's resilience and latent potential instead of another pre-emptive obituary.</div><div style="color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"></div><center style="border-bottom-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 2px; border-top-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 2px; color: #333333; font-size: 10px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><a href="http://thequietus.com/openx/www/delivery/ck.php?oaparams=2__bannerid=28__zoneid=3__cb=dde8f6c296__oadest=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fielddayfestivals.com%2F" style="color: #111111; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"><img alt="" border="0" height="250" src="http://thequietus.com/openx/www/images/cb13b6875dc145bcf66c797c4973f647.gif" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #eeeeee; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" title="" width="300" /></a><div id="beacon_dde8f6c296" style="color: #333333; font-size: 14px; left: 0px; line-height: 21px; padding-top: 5px; position: absolute; top: 0px; visibility: hidden;"><img alt="" height="0" src="http://thequietus.com/openx/www/delivery/lg.php?bannerid=28&campaignid=22&zoneid=3&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fthequietus.com%2Farticles%2F06208-under-the-cranes-hackney-urban-regeneration-films-east-end-film-festival&referer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.co.uk%2Fsearch%3Fsourceid%3Dchrome%26ie%3DUTF-8%26q%3Dquietus+review+under+the+cranes&cb=dde8f6c296" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; height: 0px; width: 0px;" width="0" /></div><div style="color: #333333; font-size: 14px; height: 0px; line-height: 21px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; padding-top: 5px; position: absolute; width: 0px;"><img src="http://bid.openx.net/cm?wid=fe1e7e16-2f15-41dc-85b3-c40435fcb5e5" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px;" /></div></center><div style="color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"></div><div style="color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 2em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;">The film wants to demonstrate that, following a quote from Jane Jacobs, "...lively, diverse, intense cities contain the seeds of their own regeneration." But while Jacobs, in her book <i>The Death and Life of Great American Cities</i> appeals to your common sense, <i>Under the Cranes</i> is an argument to your emotions. Old grainy super 8 footage seems to invest even the most mundane scenes with a bitter-sweet glow (though the ubiquitous hipstamatic filter is starting to cheapen this effect). When these images are paired with sparse piano or classical guitar (and beatboxing and Toumani Diabate) you've got a guaranteed tearjerker.</div><div style="color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 2em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;">But as the director contends, this film is not about nostalgia. The film finds beauty in trash collecting, and places modern scenes next to old. There is no contrast between a working-class past shown through rose-tinted glasses and a gentrified present shown through hip Raybans. There is continuity: there were problems before and different problems now.</div><div style="color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 2em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;"><img alt="" class="normal" height="240" src="http://new.assets.thequietus.com/images/articles/6208/14th-Floor426_1304682769_crop_426x240.jpg" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block;" width="426" /></div><div style="color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 2em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;">On the Sunday, after an engaging documentary short about a successful squatter community turned housing cooperative, <i>Bonnington Square</i>, we were treated to a film very much at the other end of the spectrum from <i>Cranes</i>. <b><i>14th Floor</i></b> is a detached, painstakingly historical account of council housing in the neighbouring borough of Tower Hamlets.</div><div style="color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 2em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;">The film feels a bit haphazardly put together at times: we see high quality shots of the estates, replete with artistically timed birds flying past the camera, which do their very best to make some very dour buildings look magestic; but then there are awkwardly edited interviews filmed on a shakey camcorder and some sub-powerpoint graphics. But technique is not the point, of course:<i>14th Floor</i> is a historical document telling an untold history and, along the way, reminding us of a time when the duty of the state to provide housing options for its workers was not really in question. Many of the talking heads, who work in the social housing industry, actually grew up in council flats and want to give back in some way.</div><div style="color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 2em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;">But while <i>14th Floor</i> is an interesting watch if you have any association with East London, it's clearly quite difficult to make a film about housing 'riviting'. This is also why you don't get films telling structural, David Harvey-type accounts of the spatial accumulation of capital. But it is precisely the labyrinthine nature of planning, law and urban economics which prevents outraged local communities, however well organised, from fighting against the developers. No one can grasp the big picture. (One of the very best, and most entertaining expose's of urban development is Emily Jame's <i>Battle for Broadway Market</i> which you can watch <a href="http://www.run-riot.com/articles/rrtv/battle-broadway-market-documentary-emily-james" style="color: #111111; text-decoration: underline;" target="out">here</a>.)</div><div style="color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 2em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;"><img alt="" class="normal" height="275" src="http://new.assets.thequietus.com/images/articles/6208/06a_07_Robin-Hood_415x275_1304682926_crop_415x275.jpg" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block;" width="415" /></div><div style="color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 2em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;">On the EEFF's Movie May Day, the good people at the London Short Film Festival screened a selection of shorts - one of which, called <b><i>Robin Hood Gardens [or every brutalist structure for itself]</i></b> made some efforts to bridge the emotional with the intellectual. The film concerns the famous housing block by Alison and Peter Smithson, a utopian vision for working class housing which is today a council estate in disrepair. The council wants to sell the land to build middle class apartments, but this time it's the architectural community that is up in arms – looking to preserve what they see as a historically important 'brutalist' masterpiece.</div><div style="color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 2em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;">The film features well composed, panoramic shots of the building and entertaining interviews with players on all sides the debate. We see a security guard wrestling with a defiant elevator, a painter describing the building, an exasperated MP and an architectural historian. In this context it is disquieting to hear the historian make statements about grand sweeps of the facade or contrasting textures when the fate of hundreds of residents, mostly Bangali families, is at stake – either living with sub-par housing or being relocated. It's almost like the reverse of that scene in the<i>Fountainhead</i> when Ayn Rand's architectural hero, played by Gary Cooper in the film, decides to blow up three perfectly habitable tower blocks when they are not realized to his exacting aesthetic standards. <i>Robin Hood Gardens</i>, humorous and winking in its portrayal of the crisis very appropriately ends with several solemn residents at home. Other then a very sleepy community meeting, they don't say very much because their voices don't particular register above all the din.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 2em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;"><div style="color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 25px;">While we've yet to see the film that makes a definitive statement on the rapidly changing East End, the problem of how to regenerate an area without pricing out the original residents is still unresolved by academics, planners and economists. But all these films, in different ways, contribute to an awareness of the issues involved. Giving the East End a sense of history and place which can't so easily be paved over.</div><div style="color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 25px;"><br />

East London informs David Lean’s classic adaptation of <em style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oliver Twist</em>; gangland thrillers like <em style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Krays</em> and Cronenberg’s <em style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Eastern Promises</em>; and diverse tales of daily life from cult kitchen-sink drama <em style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bronco Bullfrog</em> to the 2007 adaptation of Monica Ali’s<em style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Brick Lane</em>.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">The East London Film Festival is as sprawling as the areas it represents, and its programming is far from parochial, with a focus on Romanian cinema in the European category this year. Where the East End itself is celebrated on film this week, it is as a space for hedonism and music, typified by the opening night gala premiere of <em style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Libertines – There Are No Innocent Bystanders</em>, a documentary about the erstwhile indie band; and as a space to live, with a focus on housing and community in numerous short films and some standout documentaries.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">With a preponderance of social housing, regeneration projects constantly on the go and rapid gentrification, it’s not surprising that housing is a preoccupation for residents of Hackney and Tower Hamlets; why social housing in particular is fascinating to filmmakers right now is less clear. The housing estate is perhaps a formally neat structure for telling the story of an area’s overlooked residents; the ideals of early housing developers (explored in Shane Davey’s <strong style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><em style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">14th Floor</em></strong>, which makes great use of local archive footage) seem particularly resonant in 2011; and some of the buildings, like Goldfinger’s Balfron Tower in Poplar, are wonderfully photogenic, as are images of construction and destruction. Housing also informs <a href="http://www.hazandphil.co.uk/" style="color: #6a7c96; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Phil Maxwell and Hazuan Hashim</a>’s <strong style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><em style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">East End Lives 3</em></strong>, made in collaboration with housing association East End Homes, although here the focus is less on infrastructure and more on individual testimony.</div><img alt="East End Lives 3" height="236" src="http://www.bfi.org.uk/sightandsound/images/newsandviews/420/east-end-lives-3_420.jpg" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 1px; border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 1px; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px; float: left; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 1em; margin-top: 0px;" width="420" /><div class="lrgCaption" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; width: 420px;"><div style="clear: left; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><em style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">East End Lives 3</em></div></div><div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Maxwell, a photojournalist who has chronicled east London for decades, avoids the pitfalls of nostalgia that less experienced filmmakers, enamoured of legends of working-class communities and Blitz spirit, are prone to. His portrait of two ex-members of <em style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">a capella</em> girl band The Mint Juleps and a teenage artist living in the shadow of Canary Wharf celebrates east London’s diversity without patronising, and gently explores memory, change and relationships using the framework of the home. Maxwell’s black-and-white street photography, exhibited in Spitalfield’s Market, has a similarly vital, humane presence, at odds with the brashly revamped market itself.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Emma-Louise Williams’ <em style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.bfi.org.uk/sightandsound/newsandviews/festivals/Emma-Louise%20Williams%E2%80%99%20Under%20the%20Cranes" style="color: #6a7c96; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Under the Cranes</a></em> (pictured at top), which premiered to a capacity audience at Dalston’s Rio Cinema, featured the work of another long-time resident, Michael Rosen, whose documentary play <em style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hackney Voices</em> steered this engaging, gentle, slightly dreamlike documentary. Somewhat inspired by Patrick Keiller’s Robinson films, Williams’ Hackney is a layered, shifting place teeming with multiple voices and realities, echoed verbally by Rosen’s collage of reminiscence, characteristically generous poetry and collected urban folk songs.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Rosen’s presence reminds us of east London’s reputation as a place of political upheaval. In <em style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Under the Cranes</em> this element is worn lightly, but significantly (the script includes an eyewitness account of 1930s fascist meetings, chillingly from the point of view of a BUF member).</div><div class="lrgCaption" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; width: 420px;"><div style="clear: left; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.bfi.org.uk/sightandsound/newsandviews/festivals/east-end-film-festival-2011.php">http://www.bfi.org.uk/sightandsound/newsandviews/festivals/east-end-film-festival-2011.php</a><br />

It urges us to consider that lively, diverse, intense cities contain the seeds of their own regeneration.</div><div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 20px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 20px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px;"></div><div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 20px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 20px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px;">This beautifully constructed film invites us to engage with the fragmentary and multi-layered narrative of Hackney, using a montage of location shots, long buried archive footage, still images and moving paintings, combined with a soundscape of field recordings, poetry, music, song and personal testimony.</div><div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 20px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 20px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px;"></div><div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 20px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 20px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px;">Here the intrigues of Shakespearian Shoreditch are juxtaposed with the brutality of fascism in post-war Dalston, the brave deeds of the Jewish 43 Group, a history of social housing, the plight of a Bangladeshi restaurant owner or a Jamaican builder, the courageous resolve of waves of immigrants, local enterprise and industry and the spectre of Olympic developers.</div><div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 20px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 20px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px;"></div><div style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 20px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 20px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px;">Despite its wonderful evocation of Hackney's past, Under the Cranes is no nostalgic trip down memory lane.

<div style="line-height: 17px; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal;">"A marvellous evocation of Hackney - the place, the peoples and their dreams too. It reveals the ruin, disconnection and the frailty of life without giving an inch to literary misanthropy or the voyeuristic perspectives in which East London is exploited for tales of misery, depravity and social failure. It manages to be elegaic without being merely doleful. The combination of voice and image is very nicely handled, and the archive footage is wonderful. I was glad the film didn't resort to more polemical assaults on the Olympics, legitimate as those may be. I think the film gains a lot by not being too firmly located in that argument, not least the possible realization that we all live 'under the cranes' these days. A lot of the stories and locations were familiar - is that Town Guide Cabinet really in the Hackney Museum now? - but I never knew about the plastic!"</span></span></div><div style="line-height: 17px; text-align: justify;"></div></div><br />

As a collage of the city at its most quick, it has the ache and tug of what has been and gone; as a moving study of resourcefulness, resistance and resilience, it collapses time and returns each story to its street.</b></pre><br />
