Mixing rare film footage from Hackney Archives with freshly shot cinematography,
Under the Cranes is a lyrical, painterly evocation of Hackney over several hundred years. Based on Michael Rosen's poetic play for voices, we hear from Shakespeare in Shoreditch, a Jamaican builder, a Turkish Barber and the 43 Group taking on Moseley in Dalston. Join Director of
Under the Cranes, Emma-Louise Williams, with Michael Rosen and Ken Worpole as they discuss how the film celebrates diversity whilst critiquing the rush for urban "regeneration".
"A marvellous evocation of Hackney - the place, the peoples and their dreams too." - Patrick Wright.
Emma-Louise Williams is a radio producer,
Under the Cranes is her first film.
Michael Rosen is a poet and former Children's Laureate, whose family came from East London.
Ken Worpole is the author of many books on architecture, landscape and social history, with a particular interest in East London.
