Political Pictures
These films chart events and people, real and imagined, heroes and monsters who yearned for change, for power, for more.
From Roberto Rossellini's portrayal of resistance under Nazi occupation to the revolutionary stirrings of Gillo Pontecorvo's The Battle of Algiers and on to the intellectual interrogation of The Stuart Hall Project, our collection offers an entryist route into cinema's body-politic: where radical thought meets imperative image-making.
