A short about racism and Islamophobia in the UK.

A family and their friends are messing around at home when they are set upon by a gang of shotgun toting white racist thugs who have violently descended on their street. What ensues is truly abhorrent and would appear to happen with a degree of police complicity before quite a clever and intensely delivered piece of poetry from actor Riz Ahmed questioning who is who in the UK in 2020, and what is important in our double-standards ridden nation. The photography really effectively takes us to the heart of this scenario, almost as if we were there too, witnessing the atrocity. I do not believe this is a realistic reflection of something that could actually happen in Britain, nor do I believe that there are police officers who would permit this kind of brutal kerbside execution, but sometimes cinema needs extremes to provoke debate and responses - this is certainly food for thought.

Roundhay Garden Scene1888-10-14The earliest surviving celluloid film, and believed to be the second moving picture ever created, was shot by Louis Aimé Augustin Le Prince using the LPCCP Type-1 MkII single-lens camera.

The film shows Adolphe Le Prince (Le Prince's son), Mrs. Sarah Whitley (Le Prince's mother-in-law), Joseph Whitley, and Miss Harriet Hartley walking around in circles, laughing to themselves, and staying within the area framed by the camera.
