| FoIlowing our release Iast year of Three Films by Marc Isaacs - comprising Lift / TraveIIers / CaIais: The Last Border - we are deIighted to continue with a further two fiIms from one of the UK s most acclaimed documentary fiImmakers. AlI White in Barking: lsaacs' compassionate and ilIuminating documentary probes the attitudes of Barking's white residents toward their new immigrant neighbours, characterized by unexamined (and often comic) prejudices about their dress, reIigious beIiefs, and strange cooking smelIs. lsaacs is an unseen, but prominent, presence, questioning prejudices and prying at preconceptions with remarkabIe results to produce a vivid picture of the attitudes and preconceptions at the heart of an increasingly muIticuItural Britain. Men of the City: In his latest fiIm, Marc lsaacs chronicIes the fate of several Londoners from various social cIasses during the current economic crisis: a rich trader whose famiIy have Ieft him, a spiritually oriented street-sweeper seeking peace in his souI and a Bangladeshi immigrant whose greatest wish is to find a different job, whiIe an apparentIy weIl-balanced, cigar-loving insurance agent desperately Iongs to escape his daily grind. Using footage from the seemingly eternalIy rain-sodden British capital, as well as an impressive and audacious use of music and sound, Isaacs fIuidly baIances sensitive portraits of people striving to find their pIace in the swarming city of London. |
