SpinOffBeat Presents: Bred and Born


Get Tickets

We are very excited to announce the first in what we hope will be a long line of SpinOffBeat events. Events which fall a little outside of our traditional folkie remit. So please join us at Staffordshire St on the 4th of December to watch the very special 1982 documentary Bred & Born, directed by Mary Pat Leece and Joanna Davis. Part research project, part experimental film, Bred & Born pulls together interviews with 4 generations of women from one East London family with insights from a discussion held by a local women’s circle. Set between the Shadwell estate the family grew up on and a local community centre, they discuss motherhood, work, community, class, identity and place. It's a very cool film and an amazing look into the lives and inner thoughts of working women in late 70s and early 80s London.
