Description

The Workers Film & Photo League (WFPL) was a group of radical amateur filmmakers and photographers, active in East London during the 1930s. Their films offer a unique picture of working class lives, resonating strongly with today's concerns of food poverty, work precarity and the cost of living crisis.

Participants are exploring the history of the WFPL, and creating their own films to be exhibited at Four Corners in 2025. The project is co-led by Sam Stevens of the Film & Photo League Archive, and generously supported by Cameracrate with the donation of two Super 8mm cameras.
