Lewisham Film Initiative / Online Design
www.lewishamfilminitiative.co.ukCommunities are held together by local culture, a term most certainly not limited to the so-called ‘high arts’ such as opera but which embraces a whole lifestyle spectrum from art, music and dance to ethnic character influences, to individual retailers, restaurants, brasseries and to creative business of all descriptions.
In that broad context, the stirling efforts of the Lewisham Film Initiative, a joint venture established in 2003 between the Creative Lewisham Agency and Lewisham Council, deserves much applause.
The Initiative describes itself as a multi-faceted, grass-roots project working to produce, promote and programme a wide range of films throughout the borough.
Since its inception, LFI has supported over 400 screenings, provided vital financial support for more filmmaking collectives than any other London borough, programmed and financed new film clubs, enabled 3,000 school children to go to the cinema for free, marketed cinema in Lewisham across a variety of media platforms and participated in several high-profile partnerships with national bodies such as Channel 4’s Britdoc, Film Education and the Community Channel.
Continuing efforts that can only serve to help raise the area’s growing reputation as an artistic and cultural ‘hub’.

Michael Pinsky’s work explores relationships between architectural spaces and perceptions of time. Pinsky responds site-specifically to the physical and sociological space of a project. Context is crucial, providing both the content and the platform for the work. For example, Elevation is an animation of a parallel world hidden behind the walls of University Hospital Lewisham. Pinsky uses a series of portholes that reveal screens showing glimpses of activity.
