Yesterday I went to the Press Preview of the London International Documentary Festival <\/strong>(LIDF) held at the London Review of Books<\/em> bookshop in Holborn – the festival is in association with the LRB, with Ecover <\/em>as its main sponsor and supported by the European Parliament – and as usual could not resist taking a few pictures.<\/p>\n

Fortunately most of the area had a fairly low white ceiling, so bounce flash from the SB800 and the Nikon 16-35mm on the D700 made the technical stuff simple. So I’ll include a few pictures here and a few more in My London Diary<\/em> shortly.<\/p>\n

The LIDF is the UK’s premier independent documentary film festival, screening over 130 films from 36 countries, “groundbreaking output from around the globe<\/em>” in London from 23 April \u0096 8 May. This year is the fourth for the festival, which has grown rapidly and now runs for 16 days and has branched out from film to include documentary in other media: radio and photography.<\/p>\n

\"\u00a9<\/p>\n

As a part of LIDF 2010 there are two 5-day Magnum Documentary Photography workshops<\/a>, one for women only run by Olivia Arthur<\/em> and the other by Donovan Wylie.<\/em> The workshop fee of \u00a3550 plus VAT does not include travel, accommodation or other expenses, and those taking part will be selected by an on-line application including a portfolio of 6 pictures before 6.00pm GMT on Sunday 4th April.<\/p>\n

\"\u00a9<\/p>\n

The LIDF is a London wide festival, with screenings, exhibitions and events across the capital including The Barbican, The British Museum and Cin\u00e9 Lumi\u00e8re as well as more local venues.<\/p>\n

\"\u00a9<\/p>\n

Of particular interest to me is The Invisible City<\/em>, a multimedia event at The Hub, a work and meetings space on York Road, Kings Cross on Saturday 24 April. Talks, discussion, films, audio and photographs about Hackney, Kings Cross and north-east London and the changing urban environment and how it affects those who live and work there.<\/p>\n

\"\u00a9<\/p>\n

The films include John Roger<\/em>‘s London Perambulator<\/em> in which Will Self , Iain Sinclair and Russell Brand explore the importance of the edge lands on the fringe of the city, films from the London Refugee Stories Project<\/em>, audio from Nick Hamilton<\/em>‘s series Foot and Mouth<\/em> and photography from Alex Bratall<\/em> and myself, Peter Marshall<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I’ll be projecting some of my pictures of the Lea Valley<\/a> over 30 years, and also showing the rather tongue in cheek psychogeographic work, 1989<\/strong><\/a>, which purports to be the first chapter of an uncompleted book about a series of rambling walks I made with a now-deceased author.<\/p>\n
