Patrick Keiller London

A personal portrait of London, shot by experimental filmmaker Patrick Keiller over a period of twelve months in 1992, which saw the election of John Major as prime minister, renewed IRA bombings, the 'Black Wednesday' European monetary crisis and the "fall of the house of Windsor". The fictional (and unseen) tour guide, Robinson, takes a 'psycho-geographic' tour through the city, growing ever more disenchanted with early-nineties London

The London Particular, 2004 (30 mins)
Part 1 of a full-length film about the strange, neoliberal ‘renaissance’ of East London.
