Postcard from London
Have you ever wondered who the person is behind the Beefeater uniform, or who guards the Tower of London? Have you ever taken a James Bond-themed walking tour, or bought postcards of the Queen from a West End souvenir shop? These are the Londoners that Londoners themselves rarely see, the people who serve the tourists in our great city. We bring you a collection of 10 short documentaries plus archive footage, part of BFI Britain on Film season.
Just a selection of the shorts we’ll be showcasing…
-
- Step aboard the double decker bus of seasoned tour guide Phil
-
- Catch up with Punch and Judy performer Gary at The Covent Garden May Fayre
-
- Join Justin on one of his popular James Bond tours around the capital
The screening will run for approximately an hour and be followed by Q&As by filmmakers and the documentary subjects themselves.
Tickets are £7 at The Lexi Cinema and £5 at The Hackney Picturehouse.
