Music documentary festival - Doc n Roll - is on. These are our two faves in the line-up.

"Joe Strummer: The Future is Unwritten"

Saturday September 27, 17:30, Hackney Picturehouse, £10.60

Filmmaker Julien Temple takes a look beyond the guise of the late, anti-establishment icon Joe Strummer to offer a warm portrait of the self-described "mouthy little git" who was born John Mellor and was destined to become the frontman for one of the most influential punk bands ever. A complex figure who would learn to use his gift for music as a means of decompressing his conscience, Strummer is revealed here through unearthed interviews and the illuminating recollections of his closest companions.

"Oil City Confidential", film-screening and Q&A

Saturday September 27, 20:30, Hackney Picturehouse, £10.60

Oil City Confidential is a film noir feature length documentary and about pub-rock blues legends, Dr Feelgood; it's the story of four men in cheap suits who crashed out of Canvey Island in the early '70s, sandpapered the face of rock’n’roll and left all that came before a burnt-out ruin, four estuarine John-the-Baptists to Johnny Rotten’s anti-Christ

DAGE THE LIVING ROOM PROJECT#

September 27 – October 05, Weekdays 8-10pm, Weekends 10-5pm, Deptford Lounge, Deptford SE8 4SA

What is a Living Room: a family meeting space, hangout, art exhibition?

‘The Living Room’ is an installation of a collection of textile pieces and objects similar to those found inside a domestic front room.

‘The Living Room’ is a space for interactions, conversations, community and creativity: constructed, decorated and furnished with totemic objects symbolic of community values in the changing landscape of South East London. The project explores changing spaces, values and interactions for communities that are going through transition in relation to regeneration and recession whilst also exploring the opportunities and value of the arts.

‘The Living Room’ includes a programme of free workshops and events including a film night, tea mornings, and conversations with local community groups and the public to create an interesting homely living space within the festival. ‘The Living Room’ rug is the central participatory artwork and conversation piece. People are invited to contribute by bringing a length of a fabric
