Kino London

It’s strictly against Kino policy to show trailers for longer films. We believe in the beauty of the short film form as an art in its own right. BUT. This new project from experimental documentarian Joseph Ernst is just too lovely to resist. And despite the fact that what you see above is the trailer, the finished film will be a short. So it’s not cheating really, you see.

With his previous film, Ernst took us inside our own mouths, fitting a camera to record all the comings and goings of said saliva-filled orifice. Now, he ventures very much outside of the body, documenting modern-day London with a 100-year-old hand-cranked 35mm camera. The resulting footage is an eerily nostalgic look at the London of today; from an Arsenal game to the Edgware Road, this is the 21st century through the eyes of the olde worlde. I for one, can’t wait to see the finished film.
