film – Somewhere In Hackney (Ron Orders, 1980)

http://player.bfi.org.uk/film/watch-somewhere-in-hackney-1980/

A great 50 minute documentary at the British Film Institute site that covers a wide array of the community and cultural groups active in the Borough in 1980, including:

• Freeform Arts Trust
• Caribbean House
• Lenthall Road Print Workshop
• Hoxton Hall Adult Drama Group
• Centerprise
• Hackney Writers Workshop
• Hackney and Islington Music Workshop

There’s also  lots of great footage of bits of Hackney which have since disappeared or aged gracefully…

Thanks to Good News Hackney on twitter for flagging up this up.
