Followed by a Q&A with ‘Handsworth Songs’ producer Lina Gopual.
In association with Black History Studies. This thought-provoking double-bill combines two experimental documentaries about black culture. Isaac Julien’s Territories (1984) critiques the way traditional media represents black people and portrays the Notting Hill Carnival as an event about resistance.
