£8Celebrate the 200th anniversary of the first licensed Hackney Cab service in London at the premiere screening of On The Cotton. This short film documents a project that saw seven Black Cab drivers and seven London-based poets co-create poetry that celebrates the iconic Black Cab, London’s cabbies, passengers, and the Knowledge.
The film will be introduced by Dan Simpson, who pioneered the On The Cotton project, working in partnership with London Transport Museum. After the film, enjoy a poetry performance and a Q&A with some of the poets, cabbies, and filmmaker Bilal Bounit.
Performers will include Duane Colman and Abstract Benna, Adam Gaunt, and Mick O’Flynn with a voiceover by Arji Manuelpillai. Poet Shirine Shah and former cabbie Les Simpson will join the Q&A.
Black Cab drivers are eligible for a concession ticket price for this event: simply show your yellow or green badge on the door.
This event is suitable for ages 12+ due to strong language and themes of mental health, vulnerability, and grief.
