Following the success of their project ‘1,000 Londoners’ the film promises to provide intimate portraits of London women ranging between the ages of 0-100, featuring one from each decade.

It will offer a unique insight into the lives of ordinary women in London and celebrate their impact and influence in the community.

The event is being run in partnership with the UN’s HeForShe Arts Week. 1,000 Londoners Movie Nights are also supported by the BFI and Film London.

‘Century: 10 Women X 10 Decades’ will be shown at the Hackney Attic on March 8 at 7.30. Tickets to the event are £5 and are available here
