Van Gogh House and Fatoedo Film Productions present an evening of short films led by The Ballad of Olive Morris.
About the Project
Filmmaker Alex Kayode-Kay has curated a selection of narrative short films and documentaries about the migrant and black experience in Brixton, Britain and beyond.
The films explore the depth and breadth of storytelling and humanity, not always seen in the mainstream. From the story of an immigrant student striving to survive in England to the power of activism to the legendary Brixton activist Olive Morris, these stories will make you laugh and cry and reflect. The screening is followed by a conversation and Q&A between the artist Harold Offeh, and the filmmaker Alex Kayode-Kaye, and the other filmmakers in attendance.
This event forms part of the public programme alongside the exhibition We Came Here by Harold Offeh, which itself explores migrant experiences to Brixton, and centres around a fictional conversation between Olive Morris and Vincent Van Gogh.
