Why should people book it: LONDON SYMPHONY is a contemporary take on the ‘city symphony’, a genre of creative non-fiction that flourished in the 1920s and consisted of works that attempted to build poetic portraits of city life. As well as serving as a form of virtual tourism, city symphonies raise important and universal questions about the nature of community life – and these questions have become vital within the current political climate.

Complimentary programming ideas? Any of the original city symphonies from the 1920s, especially Walter Ruttmann’s BERLIN, SYMPHONY OF A GREAT CITY, which will celebrate its 90^thanniversary during September. Alternatively, the work of the GPO/Crown Film Unit or contemporary city films such as Terence Davies’ OF TIME AND THE CITY and Mark Cousins’ I AM BELFAST could also make for interesting complimentary programming.
