BABYLON + Special Community Q&A Panel
Hackney's Black History Season returns this October. Discover, learn and participate in events across the borough.
About This Event
Rio Cinema presents Franco Rosso's Babylon (1980). Banned on release in the US in fear of inciting riots and originally rated X in the UK, Babylon follows Jamaican-British youngster Blue's day to day in Brixton. Followed by a live Q&A panel hosted by musician Nubiya Brandon. The conversation will take the opportunity to hear the real-life experiences of those who grew up in the Caribbean-British community of 1980s London. Alongside these events in Screen 1, The Rio Lobby will be exhibiting Photographs by Chanté Saunders and Maisie Brown (previously exhibited at Dijons and featured in Nowness with their photography series titled "RUDEBOYS".
Programmed by Film school graduate Zain Gibson, a filmmaker, photographer and writer exploring identity and culture through her work.
