THE CIAMBRA + Q&A with Assunta Nicolini at Regent Street Cinema (14 JUN 19:30):

  • In the Ciambra, a small Romani community in Calabria, Pio Amato is desperate to grow up fast. He easily slides between the regions’ factions – Italians, African immigrants and his fellow Romani – and follows his older brother Cosimo everywhere, learning the skills for life on the streets. Directed by Jonas Carpignano with Martin Scorsese as executive producer, THE CIAMBRA represented Italy for Best Foreign Picture at the Academy Awards. Presented by CinemaItaliaUK in collaboration with the Migration Museum and Peccadillo Pictures.

GUARDIAN DOCUMENTARIES: THREE SHORT FILMS ABOUT BRITAIN + Q&A at Rio Cinema (14 JUN 18:45):

  • Three new short documentaries made by The Guardian about people coming to terms with modern Britain. Stories about Grenfell, racism and refugees made by some of the best short documentary makers in the UK.

THE LANTHANIDE SERIES at The Whitechapel Gallery (14 JUN 19:00):

  • From the portals of personal computing devices to ancient obsidian mirrors, optical instruments control how people see, foresee, frame, record, and remember their lives. Erin Espeile‘s THE LANTHANIDE SERIES meditates on how we understand the world through such material means.

THE SORROW AND THE PITY – PART 1: THE COLLAPSE at Phoenix Cinema (14 JUN 10:30):

  • Marcel Ophuls’ portrait of the French town of Clermont-Ferrand under German occupation from 1940-44 is one of the greatest documentaries ever made, as important as Claude Lanzmann’s Shoah in its value not just as a film but as an essential historical record in its own right.

ALL THE WILD HORSES at DocHouse (14 JUN 14:00 & 18:30):

  • A visually cinematic adventure documentary, ALL THE WILD HORSES submerges viewers in the Mongolian wilderness and throws them into the thrills of an adrenaline-fueled endurance test.

LEK AND THE DOGS at ICA (14 JUN 16:15):

  • Combining archival footage with experimental and narrative sequences, artist and director Andrew Kötting reconstructs the true story of Ivan Mushukov, the Russian child found living with a pack of wild dogs on the streets of Moscow in the mid-1990s.

MCQUEEN at ArtHouse Crouch End (14 JUN 15:00 & 20:25):

  • Alexander McQueen’s rags-to-riches story is a modern-day fairy tale, laced with the gothic. Mirroring the savage beauty, boldness and vivacity of his design, this documentary is an intimate revelation of his McQueen’s own world, both tortured and inspired, which celebrates a radical and mesmerizing genius of profound influence.
