As part of the UCL Festival of Culture, Tom
Wolseley (Leverhulme Artist-in-Residence, UCL Urban Laboratory) will screen
preliminary footage from 'Vertical Horizons', a meditative film about
Western Europe's tallest building, The Shard.
The film juxtaposes views of The Shard from different vantage points around South London with contrasting narratives about the building and the filmmaker's own response to living in its shadow. The film asks questions about the relationship between the individual and larger global dynamics that are manifesting themselves in the changing landscapes of capital cities like London.
This session will be led by filmmaker Tom Wolseley and Andrew Harris (Co-Director, UCL Urban Laboratory), who will introduce the film and chair a discussion about the themes it presents.
