Through a lyrical and contemplative lens, “Memories I Keep Unearthing” explores themes of change and resistance. The film repurposes 1930s East London footage taken by the Film and Photo League blending it with additional Super8, video, film, and digital photography to create a layered, visual dialogue between past and present. Part of a Four Corners initiative to preserve East London’s history and foster artistic expression (supported by the University of Westminster and Arts Council England), the film reimagines forgotten voices with renewed relevance. The Earth itself becomes the narrator, in both slumber and immense power, recalling the echoes of shouts and the reverberation of stomping feet, echoes of an older time into the modern world
