LUX Salon: A Home in the East - Thursday 6 March 7pm

To celebrate the current East festival http://www.findeast.co.uk/ LUX presents 4 films of East End home life. Ian Bourn's The End of the World (1982) features Ian and Helen Chadwick enjoying a quiet afternoon of domestic bliss, Guy Sherwin's Views From Home (1987/2005) is a nostalgic invocation of sunlight and street sounds and secret life of his East End flat circa 1980s. John Smith's Hackney Marshes (TV Version) (1978) is a rarely seen film commission from Thames Television documenting the lives of the inhabitants in a tower block overlooking Hackney Marshes, unravelling the TV documentary format with John Smith's usual style and wit. Finally William English and Sandra Cross's What did you eat today?(2001) follows a culinary day in the life of Hugh de la Cruz, then back home to have spaghetti for tea.

Digital Artists' Handbook

The Digital Artists' Handbook is an up to date, reliable and accessible source of information that introduces you to different tools, resources and ways of working related to digital art.
The goal of the Handbook is to be a signpost, a source of practical information and content that bridges the gap between new users and the platforms and resources that are available, but not always very accessible. The Handbook will be slowly filled with articles written by invited artists and specialists, talking about their tools and ways of working. Some articles are introductions to tools, others are descriptions of methodologies, concepts and technologies. Find out more about how to get involved at: http://www.digitalartistshandbook.org/
