By virtue of discussing Julian Firth with
kindkit, I have just run into this artifact: Jeremy Wooding's Chartered Streets (1989), a short film in 16 mm black and white starring Firth, the voices of Billy Bragg and Pauline Melville, the streets and faces of London, and the poetry of William Blake. I would also say starring the spirit of Derek Jarman, but in the late '80's Jarman was alive and angry and making things like The Last of England (1987). Anyway, enjoy some anti-Thatcherite psychogeography. I'm not sure it's gone out of fashion.
