Stuart Hall

CREATIVE MEDIA RESEARCH GROUP / CENTRE FOR MOVING IMAGE RESEARCH PRESENT: A SCREENING & DISCUSSION OF JOHN AKOMFRAH’S

THE STUART HALL PROJECT (2013)

TUESDAY 18TH FEBRUARY, 16.00, ROOM OD55, BOWER ASHTON CAMPUS
ALL WELCOME ( STUDENTS AND STAFF )

The critical thinker and political activist Stuart Hall died earlier this week.

John Akomfrah’s 90 minute documentary is a wonderful tribute to one of Britain’s most important political voices of the late twentieth century.

The film weaves together biography, archive and excerpts from Stuart Hall’s writing into a beautiful piece of poetic documentary, that also serves as a fitting essay on migration, identity and race in modern Britain, all set to a soundtrack built around the jazz music of Miles Davis. This is part of a screening series organised by the Creative Media Research Group and the Centre for Moving Image Research.
