Thursday 13 October 2022 (18:00 BST onwards)

Location: Devon, Exeter - Exeter Phoenix

A rare chance to see this classic film about Black Britain on the big screen. With its fierce portrayal of the racism facing young black men and its fabulous reggae soundtrack, 叠补产测濒辞苍鈥 is a prescient view of society at the dawn of Thatcherism that remains just as relevant today.

Reggae 鈥榯oaster 鈥楤lue鈥 and his crew, Ital Lion, are looking forward to an upcoming sound clash competition with a rival sound system. As the day of the competition draws closer, Blue faces escalating pressures from the police and local racists and his life begins to unravel both at home and on the street. Eventually his sense of frustration and isolation from society leads him to drastic actions. Set and shot in 1979 South London, this superbly acted, coming-of-age tale brilliantly captures an emerging subculture and an important moment in British social history. On its initial release 叠补产测濒辞苍鈥檚 subversive spirit was met with bewilderment 鈥攈inting at why this British cult classic remains tragically underseen. 

Screening in partnership with The Bill Douglas Cinema Museum, who hold the production archive on 叠补产测濒辞苍鈥,  to mark Black History Month this film will be introduced by Dr Clive Nwonka, Associate Professor in Film, Culture and Society at University College, London. Clive is the author of 鈥楤lack Film/British Cinema II鈥 and the forthcoming 鈥楤lack Boys: The Aesthetics of British Urban Film鈥 and has authored reports on race and the British film industry.

CANCELLED - Professor Gretchen Gerzina - Black England: A Forgotten Georgian History

Friday 14 October 2022 (Opens 13:00 BST)

Location: Devon, Streatham - Lecture Theatre 1, Queen鈥檚 Building

Join us at the 内射大奶 as Professor Gretchen Gerzina reads from the new edition of her classic book BLACK ENGLAND: A FORGOTTEN GEORGIAN HISTORY. The idea that Britain became a mixed-race country after 1945 is a common mistake. By the eighteenth century, Black people could be found in clubs and pubs, there were churches for Black people and organisations for helping Black people who were out of work or in trouble. Whether prosperous citizens or newly freed slaves, their dramatic, often moving story is told in this talk through the lives of several Black Britons.  The triumphs and tortures of Black England, the ambivalent relations between the races, sometimes tragic, sometimes heart-warming, are brought to life in this well-researched and wonderfully readable account.
