NOW FILMING explores the fascinating story of the Workers Film and Photo League (WFPL). The WFPL employed the camera as 'a weapon in the struggle' to represent working-class people’s lives and their campaigns against poverty, exploitation, and the rise of fascism. Bringing together newly discovered archival material, workers’ film newsreels, photographs and agitprop, this exhibition focuses on this unexplored moment of cultural resistance during the social conflicts of 1930s Britain.
The exhibition will also feature a series of short films, made by participants of the Workers Newsreel East End Stories project.
