Listings: Nunnery Gallery, November 2010 - February 2011

Oct. 19, 2010 - PRLog -- CINEAST: East London's Film Salon
7-9pm, Thursday 4th November, The Nunnery

CINEAST is proud to present an exclusive preview screening of ‘Civic Life’, a new film by London filmmakers Christine Molloy and Joe Lawlor. The work will tour selected UK cinemas following its premiere at Bristol's Brief Encounters Film Festival. Since July 2003 Molloy and Lawlor have worked on a unique and richly cinematic series of films made in negotiation with local residents and community groups.  At the centre of the work is the relationship these communities have to the environments in which they live and work.

The filmmakers will present their work in person. After the screening there will be time for questions and discussion.

The Balfron Project
7th – 23rd January 2011, The Nunnery

The Balfron Project is a large-scale photographic event taking place this Autumn at the Grade ll listed building, Balfron Tower, in Poplar. Led by Australian photographer Simon Terrill, the event will result in a spectacular, mural-sized photograph captured by a large format still camera. This final image will be exhibited at The Nunnery in January 2011, along with the accompanying research and related work by photographer Ollie Harrop. The Project will trace the connections between individuals, communities and the architecture they inhabit, providing a glimpse into the individual stories taking place within and around Balfron Tower, a stark symbol of urban utilitarianism.

Opening event: Thursday 6th January 2011, 6.30 – 9.30pm (as part of Time Out First Thursdays).
Symposium: Thursday 20th January, 6.30 – 8.30pm.  Simon Terrill and a guest panel of invited speakers will discuss the conception and undertaking of this ambitious project.
Exhibition open: Friday – Sunday from 1pm to 5pm
