Then and now is a 50-minute documentary about youth culture in the London boroughs of Lambeth, Camden, City of London and Brent during the 1950s, 60s and now.
It is directed by Lorna Holder & Yvonne Deutschman and produced by Tuareg Productions Ltd.
From flower power fashion to designer brand obsession, from telephone box to mobile phone, from café & club culture to social online networking, experience Hanging Out witnesses how music and the club scenes of the 1960s played a vital part in bringing young black and white people together.
The Mods and Rockers reveal how the press paid them a fiver to fight on the beaches of Brighton.
We also hear about Muhammad Ali’s first visit to Brixton and the story of Michael Jackson buying a safari hat that inspired his album Off the Wall.
One thing has not changed is the passionate energy young people bring to anti-war protests and social changes.
Highlights include former Labour MP Tony Benn and BBC news correspondent Kurt Barling in discussion with young people around the issues of protest.
The screening is followed by a Q&A with the directors and young film makers and there are free copies of the Hanging Out book, by Lorna Holder available on the day.
