London On Film Festival
. . . Cinema that provokes, inspires and unites the many lives of London
16 – 21 June 2009
The Lexi Cinema, Kensal Rise
This is London: The world’s most culturally diverse city. Within its 600 square miles, the Big Smoke plays host to individuals from every country in the world, who communicate with each other in over 300 different languages. Close to 8 million Londoners share the same streets, yet each inhabits their own, and often separate, world. So what is it that binds us all together between these city walls?
Based around the questions Who? What? When? Where? Why? London, London on Film festival will explore the city’s spaces, places and faces through a unique combination of film screenings, discussions and social events. We will examine London’s personality through its representation on film- looking deep into its dark underbelly and back into its gritty past- while at the same time celebrating its cultural diversity and unique atmosphere. We believe that in focusing on what we all have in common- our city- we can generate a greater appreciation and understanding of each other and our surroundings, and thereby unite the many lives of London.
We think that film is a great way to convey and receive information but we also want to engage our audience in debate, discussion and dancing. That's why we've coupled our screenings with a mix of directorial introductions, intelligent discussions, food, live music and performance.

A Line is There to be Broken: Constructing Sites
Saturday 27th June 2009 10am-4pm
Tristan Fennell, David Kendall, Gesche Würfel
What could link the Lower Lea Valley in East London, Dubai, and Tokyo? London and Tokyo
are long established so-called Global Cities whereas Dubai is an emerging one. Quite
commonly, Global Cities host mega events like the Olympics. All these cities attract tourism
and there is a strong desire to maintain and develop leisure spaces and sports facilities that
present and publicise each city as an attractive, well-maintained destination to visitors. Over
the course of the past 30 years the Olympics have been transformed from a sporting to an
economic event with a focus on urban regeneration.
Urban regeneration has also been a major focus of London’s Olympics 2012 application.
As we are situated in London this workshop will focus on East London where the 2012
Olympics will take place. The workshop will run in conjunction with the exhibition 'A Line
is There to be Broken' at Viewfinder Photography Gallery in Greenwich, London, SE10. The
photographs in the exhibition draw visual and spatial influences from the following questions:
How could people construct improvised or temporary leisure spaces or sites? Who has the
right to do certain types of activities in these spaces? Do sites exist or is it impossible for
them to develop where new barriers and material objects exclude access to the land? How
could physical barriers and objects become part of this process? How could temporary leisure
spaces become public platforms or political tools that could influence planning decisions and
regeneration processes?
The workshop will consider how to answer these questions photographically and will take
place around the periphery of the 2012 Olympic site in East London. In the morning we invite
participants to walk with us around the Olympic site in Stratford-Hackney Wick and hear more
about the ‘theoretical implications’ of constructing this site. In the afternoon we will return
to Viewfinder Photography Gallery to view and discuss photographs made during
the workshop and discover spatial and social links with the photographs in the exhibition.
A nominal cost of £10 is charged for the workshop. Booking is essential: a.tu@gold.ac.uk
and limited to 20 places. For further information about 'Urban Edge' contact Professor
Caroline Knowles, CUCR, Goldsmiths: c.knowles@gold.ac.uk

RePlace Exhibition [noplaceprojects*] at Ada St. London.
18-21 June 2009
2 Ada St
London E8 4QU
Continuing its ongoing investigation into cities, spaces and place, [noplaceprojects*], with the
support of Openvizor are pleased to present RePlace, a new exhibition of video and photography. As city dwellers, we are constantly aware of the ever-changing urban environments that are replaced, reinvented, and re-arranged. Many places are all experienced in similar ways regardless of culture and destination and the works brought together in this exhibition explore some of these themes.
Phil Constable’s video installation, Memory Space 001 uses a series of fluorescent lights and digitally converted cine film. The fluorescent lighting illuminates and interrupts the projected moving imagery intermittently, creating an environment that is in flux, shifting between the ‘architectural space’ and the ‘memory space’.
‘Synergy’ is a collaboration between inter-media artist Zbigniew Kotkiewicz and cinematographer Marta Stysiak. This video deals with the moving image’s role and function. It also experiments with a narrative and audiovisual tension. ‘Synergy’ explores issues of dislocation, belonging, migration and memory.
Minou Norouzi Limb from Limb. The skyline of Los Angeles is identified by its palm trees and like most of its inhabitants, its population of trees are from elsewhere, they’re immigrants. The city receives a continuous face-lift with its mature full size palms being un-dug, beautified and replanted. This video is a harrowing observation of the uprooting process of one such tree.
Sarah Smizz’s Shadow Cities is concerned with the fundamental question of how one can create social space in the city and presents a critique of the social values of architecture as spectacle. Smizz is a ‘Do-It-Yourself’ artist living and working in Sheffield who uses the barest of means to comment on regeneration, urbanization and urban poverty.
Gesche Wuerfel’s series Farewell from the Garden Paradise captures the moment of eviction for the Manor Garden Allotments plot holders. The allotments were closed in September 2007 and demolished to construct a footpath for the 2012 Olympic Games. The images present the small personal spaces of sheds that have no place in the ongoing Olympic development.
Milanese Encounters. When London based and Milan born Manuela Zanotti, went back to the city and places of her formative years, she engaged with the city locating a space between memory and reality. Here the city is reflected through everyday instances conveying both familiarity with the place and the transitory nature of the encounters between strangers.
[noplaceprojects*] are Liz Helman and Mischa Haller.

Exhibition: 12–6pm, Wed-Sun 27th June–27th July 2009
Talks & performances: 2–8pm, Sunday 28th June 2009
Venue: Shell Kantine, Shell Terrain, Buiksloterweg 5, Amsterdam Noord, 1031 CM
Website: www.weaksignals.nl
For further information: info@weaksignals.nl
de Appel Curatorial Programme ’08/’09 presents Weak Signals, Wild Cards: an exhibition of commissions from artists and multidisciplinary practitioners made for a future society in Amsterdam Noord. Contributors will imagine an alternative future for the area, which will be elaborated through talks, performances, and works that are made for and from the future societies envisioned. Reacting to the overdetermined municipal and corporate plans for the area, and the instrumentalising of art within urban regeneration, Weak Signals, Wild Cards seizes the potential of art to slip through time and form itself from multiple possibilities. The contributions are not finished works or statements, in that they are documents of a society that is still to emerge. And yet, there they are: their arrival will allow a rethinking of the present.
Contributors: Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries, Heman Chong, Yvonne Dröge Wendel, Famed, Flying City, Andreja Kuluncic, Alon Levin, Laura Oldfield Ford, Merijn Oudenampsen, Maria Pask, Oda Projesi, Lee Scrivner, Design Negation, and others

London Street Market Walks
www.geocities.com/sandra_shevey/classic_tan3.html
sandra_shevey@yahoo.com
Sandra Shevey`s walking tours around London`s ancient markets support a belief in `sympathetic adaptation` and street market sustainability. The tours have been running since 1990 when Sandra began campaigning in support of these ancient precincts. She now includes 7 markets within her portfolio which are dotted across Greater London. All walks run for 3 hours and profile 3 different street markets.
Sandra has recently devised a couple of unusual variations on the theme including an early morning ramble; a late night prowl; a prose and poetry walk; a `foodie` walk; and a social-historical walk (within interior views)

This Is Not A Gateway
This Is Not A Gateway
This unique course is a collaboration between four UCL faculties (the Bartlett; Arts and Humanities; Engineering; and Social and Historical Sciences). Students take two core modules in "Urban imaginations" and "City, space and power" and then choose further courses from over twenty optional modules ranging from research training (for the
dissertation) to specialist modules such as "Creative cities", "Spatial planning", "Urban design", "Cities in a globalizing South", "Italian cinema and the city", and "Post-colonial theory and the multicultural city."
This advanced interdisciplinary programme is aimed at two main groups of students: first, students from a professional background who wish to take an opportunity for critical reflection and skills enhancement for their career development; and second, students who wish to consider embarking on a research career in the urban field and see the MSc as a useful first step towards independent writing and research at PhD or postdoctoral level.
Entry requirements are the equivalent of a first or upper-second class degree.
Full time, part time and flexible study options are available.
For further details visit the course website:
