Song of Freedom - the Early History of Black Representation in British Cinema
A free talk given by Matthew Jarron as part of Black History Month.
It wasn’t until 1976 that cinemagoers could see a British feature film made by a Black director. Horace Ové’s ground-breaking film Pressure is seen as the key starting point for Black British cinema, yet in many ways it was the culmination of years of development and activism. This illustrated lecture by museum curator and film tutor Matthew Jarron explores the history of Black representation in British cinema in the 50 years leading up to the release of Pressure.
