Film of the week: The Stuart Hall Project. (BFI)

Cultural critic and New Left fountainhead Stuart Hall meets the mood 
music of Miles Davis and the reflective screen poetry of John Akomfrah 
in this multifaceted portrait of a thinker and his times.

Accordingly, The Stuart Hall Project is a strongly personal work for the 
director. Culled from over 100 hours of archival footage featuring Hall, 
it unfolds simultaneously as a tribute to a heroic figure, a study of 
the emergence of the New Left and its attendant political ideas, and a 
summation, in thematic and technical terms, of the key characteristics 
of Akomfrah’s body of work thus far (intertextuality, archival 
manipulation, a focus on postcolonial and diasporic discourse in Britain).
