Plumstead Integration Project has decided that we would have a proper film festival! We have a proper committee now and we have announced the title: At the Edge of the City. We will have launch on the 20th November, and the Festival itself in the Spring next year. There will be lots of work, but I am very excited. Hopefully it will attract some interest and we can become regular. There is still no cinema or even a film club in the area. everything starts in Greenwich, of course where the tourists come to spend their money and richer people live. What can attract people to Plumstead, even for the film festival? Hopefully interesting events and people can do the job. Plumstead is not a place with some coherent identity (and which place is?), no one really feels responsible for the space or its cultural "branding", even in the most technocratic way. That is a blessing on one hand which we we want to dive into, we cannot waste it...but we need money too to start some preparation towards the festival.
How can we start with no money at all?
