Boston-based filmmaker and former Harvard Film Archive curator John Gianvito had made a few films before the 20th century became the 21st, but he would wind up emerging as one of the definitive filmmakers of the current century during its first decade. His six years of work on Gulf War I cri de cœur The Mad Songs of Fernanda Hussein wound up serving as one of the definitive commentaries on the upcoming century when it premiered in 2001.

The Hotel is proud to present a screening of London Orbital (2002), directed by Chris Petit and Iain Sinclair, at The Cinema Museum, London on 3rd December 2026.

London Orbital is a film about the M25, the circular motorway that surrounds London in its outer edges. Commissioned by Channel 4, the film is loosely based on Iain Sinclair’s book published two years prior, which saw the author walk the entire length of the Orbital motorway over a two-year period.

After seven editions in London, Altered Images arrives in Madrid for the first time, taking over Casabanchel with a programme bringing together experimental film, live audiovisual performance, electronic music, expanded cinema and sound experimentation.

The programme features:
