Curzon Doc Days teams with the LSFF to present three short docs, followed by the three filmmakers in conversation to discuss their work.
The films in this screening are (in alphabetical order):
ANALOGUE KINGDOM, dir Esther Johnson, 24 mins.
Gerald Wells stole his first radio in 1943 at the age of 13. The house he was born in and still inhabits is now home to over 1,500 wireless objects and 45,000 valves.
DOGHOUSE, dir Nick Abrahams, 30 mins. A tribute to Ron Asheton of the Stooges and an examination of the role rock ‘n’ roll plays in our current group psyche, plus dancing dogs! Using Iggy and the Stooges classic track ‘I Wanna be your Dog’, filmmaker Nick Abrahams (THE POSTERS CAME FROM THE WALLS/NO AGE NEW YORK) explores the iconic status of the Stooges within alternative and mainstream culture. Featuring Lee Black Childers and the Top Lodge Dancing Dogs.
I WON’T GO, dir Georgina Hurcombe, 29 mins. Oli is an elderly eccentric ex-headmistress in her nineties, who now lives isolated and housebound in her condemned country cottage. This is an intimate portrait of a determined, lively and thoroughly unconventional elderly woman – a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, a celebration of independence and the desire to live our own lives.
