Films from the Lounge - Utopia London

A screening of Utopia London, a feature length documentary by Tom Cordell.

The film explores London’s recent architectural history featuring Dawson's Heights Housing Estate in Dulwich.

The film observes the method and practise of the Modernist architects who rebuilt London after World War Two. It shows how they revolutionised life in the city in the wake of destruction from war and the poor living conditions inherited from the Industrial Revolution. This film is their story.

Utopia London travels through the recent history of the city where the film maker grew up. He finds the architects who designed it and reunites them with the buildings they created.
