What began as a modest document of trades, traditions, cultures, home environments and contemporary life in England, evolved and expanded to become an all-consuming project. Mirror With A Memory is a witness to unprecedented events as they unfolded on this singular isle over seven extraordinary years.
From volatile public demonstrations to intimate domestic scenes the film reveals the experience and emotions of living in England, explored through the lives of total strangers as well as family and friends. Shot exclusively on 16mm film, Mirror With A Memory is both lucid diary and poetic map – a meditation on the resilience of the human spirit in the most challenging era of our lifetime.
Paul Daly is a photographer and filmmaker whose work has been shaped by his hometown of Coventry, and in particular the effects of austerity on working-class communities. As we dip our toe into 2022, this special screening of Mirror with a Memory is an opportunity to take stock of a turbulent period and hear Paul reflect on an eye-opening nationwide journey.
Part of CineCov – a 12-month programme that will transform the whole of Coventry into a cinema for its year as UK City of Culture. Brought to you by Flatpack on behalf of Film Hub Midlands with support from the BFI using funds from the National Lottery.
