‘Here for Life’ – film screening and panel
We kick off UAL Research Season with a free screening of the 2019 film ‘Here for Life’, [Modern Films and Artangel] followed by panel discussion on 3 February at CSM.
The latest feature film by UAL Reader and Lecturer, artist and film-maker, Andrea Luka Zimmerman is the product of a three-year long collaboration with co-director Adrian Jackson, founder of Cardboard Citizens, a theatre project with, by and for people who have experienced homelessness.
Rated four stars in Financial Times and Time Out, the film is a love letter to London via the intertwined stories of ten Londoners, with themes including love, loss, home and “shrinking public space”.
Delve into this enigmatic film by staying for the post-screening panel discussion, chaired by Professor Pratap Rughani, London College of Communication UAL. Hear from co-Directors Dr Andrea Luka Zimmerman and Adrian Jackson, as well as Fred Meller, UAL (Production design), Therese Henningsen (Co-Deviser) and two of the film’s performers, Errol McGlashan and Mwiinga Twyman.
