Screening on Thursday 6 March 2014 at 7pm Anatomy Lecture Theatre, Strand Campus A screening of Jarman’s award-winning film starring Tilda Swinton. This screening is part of the Iain Sinclair 70×70 season, celebrating Sinclair’s 70th birthday with 70 handpicked films that relate to his work. “Yet another ‘last of’ item for the catalogue. Last of certain London territories. Last of a school of film-makers as poets of accumulation. The Thatcher period incubated such arias, as the first Elizabethan age cooked its swaggering playwrights (and occultists). I relate this film – by way of production stills from Silvertown, boats and flares – with the writing of Downriver. And especially that chapter ‘Art of the State’. Found on the Internet, it’s an article  by Anna Powell published on the “THE IRISH JOURNAL OF GOTHIC AND HORROR STUDIES”. The Author writes: “My exploration in this article is twofold and interstitial. Linking, but distinguishing literal and figural bodies, it moves across distinct but intersecting planes: place and time, history and philosophy, fact and fantasy. I write at the junction of Deleuzian affect and the psychogeography that overtly shapes the plot and locale of From Hell, a film ostensibly based on popular crime culture and historical events in the slums of late Victorian London. Linking philosophical theories of duration and the virtual with the work of psychogeographic writers on recognisable historical events and actual locales, I set out to explore the affective geographies of Gothic horror film.”
