Hornsey Film



The Hornsey Film 
Dir Patricia Holland 
UK, 1970, 59 minutes

Scored by Malcom Clarke (Radiophonic) 

"A student revolt as re-lived by the students themselves, The Hornsey Film reconstructs the arguments and succession of events that led to the occupation of Hornsey College of Art between May and July 1968." 

I've been searching for media that reflects the sense of romance in revolt, especially amongst the period wading in the waters of Beatnik and high Cold War, inspired by stories of Marxist histories and ideology. This comes after a short moment in Murakami's 1Q84 which described a radical commune in Japan (fictional or not I havent researched) which sparked my curiousity about these little bits of red history that have been left untold or largely forgotten. 

I'm planning to read Murakami's Underground soon - it looks very interesting and filled with history from the perspective of those who lived (and survived) it.

Mix Day


Reeling from a lot of things, can't pick myself back up, this mix is the music that's helping me keep this sadness romantic and from consuming me.
