The results are in (almost). The East End Film festival is gearing up for its closing nights awards ceremony on Friday 30 April, in what promises to be a an event of glitz, glamour, victory speeches and riotous applause. Having offered up the strongest programme that we have ever had this year, with a line up including a breathtaking array of new and established talent from every corner of the globe, and taking in short films, features and documentaries of every variety, the juries have some tough decisions to make. To reflect this diversity, we are presenting a host of awards that will honour the best feature debuts from both the UK and overseas, as well as the finest documentary from an incredibly challenging and thought provoking selection, and the best short film to emerge from the UK. We will also be honouring the importance of sound on film for the first time, and are giving you the audience the chance to decide what is your favourite short film of the Festival (remember to fill in those voting slips, now). Judged by juries featuring new patron Jaime Winstone, filmmaker Andrew Kotting and legendary Bad Seed Barry Adamson, as well as many other luminaries from the world of celluloid, it’s going to be emotional, and we want you to join us, the awards winners, filmmakers and celebrities at our closing night party that will immediately follow the ceremony. You can’t refuse that!
The East End Film Festival team have thought long and hard about how best to end what has been a momentous nine days of premieres, discussions and live events, taking in venues from Limehouse to Stratford and everywhere in-between. With it’s commitment to showcasing past masters and future world beaters from the East End to the Far East, we decided that there was no better venue to see out the festival than the spectacular Whitechapel Gallery. Representing the East End’s long relationship with the arts, the recently revamped gallery brings art both classic and contemporary to a whole new generation of the East End and its visitors. A bit like us really.
For the festival’s closing night The Whitechapel Gallery will host a night of live music, DJs, VJs, film and art across a staggering 4 floors, offering you a colossal, ever-changing night of partying. We are thrilled to be hosting performances by the brilliant, soon to be huge Some Velvet Morning, who film fans will recognise as one of the sonic highlights of recent mega-hit Kickass, and stomping rockers The Colour Movement. They will be joined by DJ sets from Nicola Robinson, Twiggy Garcia and 2 Hot 2 Sweat, playing every type of danceable tune you could ever hope for, as well as a special performance by EastEnd Cabaret, the ginsoaked duo that has already been wowing East End Film festival crowds with their musical tales of love, sex and communism, taking in everything from Brecht to Britney Spears and throwing in some wicked humour, accordions and puppetry to boot. But this isn’t just a musical shindig; we are a film festival after all. We will be creating a corneal cornucopia with the help of AV animation duo Sculpture, who create live works by filming stills rotating on turntables, which has to be seen to be believed, and Noriku Okaku, the VJ extraordinaire who has created visuals for Basement Jaxx, among others. And these are just the snippets that we have space for here, with the event taking in a whole host of other acts, events and jubilation, including free massage mattress piles (as brilliant as it sounds), complementary welcome drinks and retro candy to keep your energy levels up. Join us for the best possible send-off for a brilliant festival.
We know you’re sad to see it go. We are too. But not as sad as we’ll be if you don’t come celebrate with us. And remember, this isn’t where the east ends, but where it begins….

Nitin Sawhney
Saturday 24 April, 7.45pm

We welcome him to our Filmmakers Centre to expand on his prolific catalogue of work, and discuss his views on music, film, and creativity.
Tom Harper

Join director Tom Harper (Cubs [short], ‘Misfits’ [TV], and Scouting Book for Boys) in conversation with collaborator and producer Ivana MacKinnon (Scouting Book for Boys,The Descent, Slumdog Millionaire) for an insight into the working relationship, highs and lows of these two exciting new faces of UK cinema.

‘A Riot of Our Own’ is the feature exhibition of the East End Film Festival. ‘A Riot Of Our Own’ revisits the energy of the Rock Against Racism (RAR) Movement, 1976-1981. It showcases the personal archive of Graphicsi—Ruth Gregory and Syd Shelton who were RAR (London) committee members. The archive is a unique repository of graphic and photographic material on this pivotal period in British political activism.
RAR London, where the movement originated, based its operations in the East End. It was a collection of black and white political activists, reggae and punk musicians, artists, graphic designers, photographers, actors, writers, fashion designers, and fans who came together to pool their energies and talents in the fight against the growth of racism and the National Front. Through such a formidable collaboration RAR members took on the orthodoxy through five carnivals and some 500 gigs throughout Britain.
Free.
This exhibition is part of the Festival’s ‘Riot Race and Rock & Roll’ programme strand. For a full list of screenings and events, please see Riot Race and Rock & Roll

UK | 2010 | Director: Mark Donne
World Premiere + live music score performed by composer Anthony Rossomando and very special guests
The Rime of the Modern Mariner is a new artist documentary that explores the culture, community and folklore of the London Docks.
Directed by journalist Mark Donne and narrated by musician Carl Barat (The Libertines, Dirty Pretty Things), the film’s unfurling narrative reveals the decaying architecture, music, and native languages that remain etched in the masonry and bloodstream of this unique quarter.
For hundreds of years the London Docks were the watery capital of a maritime nation and the largest port on earth – when they were closed in the late 1960’s, and an entire way of life was sucked into a vacuum. Amazingly, a handful of Dockers, and a residue of those who sailed to the seven seas from London can still be found, huddled in dilapidated social clubs and the only remaining seaman’s mission, recounting a catalogue of extraordinary memories. The film is set to an atmospheric score which samples bell ringing from East London dockside churches and field recordings including a creaking hull, hammering cargos and engine room rhythms from a container ship voyage.
The screening will be held in the unique setting of St Anne’s Church in Limehouse, and will include a live performance of the dramatic score by composer Anthony Rossomando and ensemble including Rose Elinor Dougall and some very special guests

Wrap up and join us for the free outdoor screening event of the year. After last year’s amazing silent screening of Nosferatu, the East End Film Festival returns once again to Spitalfields Market with acclaimed soundtrackers Minima performing a live accompaniment to Alfred Hitchcock’s 1927 silent film The Lodger. One not to miss!
THE LODGER
UK | 1927 | Dir: Alfred Hitchcock | 115 mins
Based on the book by Marie Belloc Lowndes about a mysterious lodger who is suspected of being a local serial killer with a penchant for “golden curls”, with obvious references to the nearby Jack The Ripper legend around Whitechapel and Spitalfields itself. Made at Gainsborough Studios in Shoreditch, The Lodger is considered to be Hitchcock’s first thriller, bringing together those stylistic and thematic elements which would go on to epitomise his American suspense noirs. The Lodger ‘s critical acclaim quickly established Hitchcock as a name director, which is astonishing considering that the film was almost never released. The distributor told him: “Your picture is so dreadful, that we’re just going to put it on the shelf and forget about it.” Thankfully, this did not happen and trade journal Bioscope called it “the finest British production ever made”.
MINIMA
Minima’s music is an audacious 21st century interpretation of the images of silent films. Formed in 2006, Minima have since performed in a variety of cinemas and art centres, music festivals and unusual venues such as churches and railway arches, and including here at Spitalfields at the 2009 East End Film Festival where they accompanied silent horror classic Nosferatu. So, we welcome them back to the Festival for 2010.
Throughout the screening of The Lodger, East End’s finest award-winning boutique hair salon, Hair & Jerome will be on hand to work their artistry on your tresses in our free pop-up hair salon hosted by Leons Restaurant. Sample firsthand the exquisite talent of the Hair & Jerome stylists and have your treasured tresses transformed into 40s Hitchcockian works of art. No appointments necessary, just pop into Leons Restaurant from 5pm for your free session in our stylish beauty corner.

75 min | UK | 2009 | Director: Dom Shaw
Part music documentary, part concert film, Dom Shaw’s Rough Cut and Ready Dubbed film concerns ‘lost’ late seventies punk poet Patrick Fitzgerald, a big influence on the likes of John Cooper Clarke, Billy Bragg and more recently, King Blues. Born in 1956 in Stratford, East London to working-class Irish immigrant parents, he began performing and recording his acoustic bedroom anthems during the punk rock explosion of 1977. Kicking against the punk orthodoxy by performing waif-like and vulnerably alone with an acoustic guitar and a tattered book of poems at the height of the punk revolution, his anthem ‘Safety Pin Stuck in My Heart’ struck a chord that’s been felt into the next generation of singer songwriters. The film mixes archive footage, interviews with Fitzgerald’s contemporaries and culminates with his recent live performances in London and as part of a Patrick Fitzgerald festival in Norway.
Following the screening will be a panel discussion featuring director Dom Shaw and guests, plus live music from Milk Kan.
This film is part of the Festival’s ‘Riot Race and Rock & Roll’ programme strand. For a full list of screenings and events, please see Riot Race and Rock & Roll

Lara Saxby-Soria’s practice embraces a cross-disciplinary approach, which includes photography, sculpture and most predominantly film & video installation. Her installations attempt to engage the medium of film as a physical presence. The work moves away from the notion of the screen as a dormant surface, shifting the emphasis onto the relationship set up between image, projection and screen… subsequently transforming the gallery space into a formative part of the work.
Part of our programme of events and screenings under the Riot, Race and Rock n’ Roll banner, join founding members of the RAR movement, contemporary artists and Mark Steel (Chair) for roundtable discussion about the arts as an effective form of protest.
The RAR movement’s enduring symbol was the monster 1978 march to and gig in East London’s Victoria Park which featured The Clash, Tom Robinson, Steel Pulse, and many more. To celebrate this and to discuss how cultural politics can defeat the far right, the East End Film Festival are bringing together an audience with RAR veterans, musicians and filmmakers. Chaired by comedian Mark Steel, this cream of the punky-reggae generation alongside stars of representing the best of today’s “militant entertainment” will present their arguments and take questions from the floor in this ‘Question Time’ style debate. Panelists include Gurinder Chadha, Tom Robinson and Jerry Dammers. The evening will end with RAR Celebrity DJ sets and surprise guests.
Tickets cost £7.50 and include after-show DJ set.
