John (2016) [screening]

To celebrate the launch of Arcade East, Picnic at Tornado Sands presented a programme of short films, performance and pop up shops featuring local artists, designers and makers. The film screening - made up of work by numerous filmmakers - featured Jane Topping's 2016 film 'John'. Exploring the precarious balance between memory and reality, nostalgia and longing, the films journey through shared human connections, chance encounters and loss; fleeting moments in time captured through image and sound. The event was curated by Caroline Stevenson, Lecturer in Cultural and Historical Studies at London College of Fashion. Arcade East Launch was part of London Design Festival 2017.
