Close-Up: Abandoned Archives And Forgotten Histories Remembered

Free entrance

Close-Up presents two films discovered in a stockpile of discarded 16mm film. The first film, Black Umbrella, is a new montage by filmmaker Louis Benassi, who uses footage of fires in London to present a unique vision of the capital during war and peacetime. Black Umbrella will be followed by Peter Watkins's notorious 1965 drama documentary The War Game, a complete 16mm copy of which was found along with the fire footage.

"…It became apparent that what was contained in these cans was in fact a forgotten history an abandoned archive spanning over five decades of film shot in London at major fire incidents. The burning down of Crystal Palace in 1934, the flying bomb raids on central and east London in 1940, the fire at the Houses of Parliament in 1958 and, even more shocking, a discarded 16mm print of Peter Watkins's 1965 film The War Game." — Louis Benassi
