JOHN SMITH - WORLD FAMOUS (from Walthamstow)

  • Good Shepherd Studios 15a Davies Lane London, England, E11 3DR United Kingdom (map)

Thursday 19th March / 19:30 – 21:30

Standard Tickets: £7 / Concessions: £5 (Low/No Income, Over 60s, Under 18) / Student: £3‍‍

Join Waltham Forest Cinema Project for a Q&A with local (and world famous) film artist John Smith, showing the films that reflect the borough, including the Waltham Forest premiere of his latest Being John Smith.

John Smith is widely considered one of the world’s top artist filmmakers. He is also from Walthamstow and lived much of his life in Waltham Forest. This programme presents these two sides of John in parallel. From his seminal The Black Tower – much of which was shot in Leytonstone and thereabouts – to Blight, covering the severing of the borough by the M11 Link Road, John has brought a unique eye to the truly local. His trademark humour and creeping dread are in evidence across this career-spanning programme.
