Recommended Posts

Just a quick reminder: We would like to invite you to an evening of short films and discussion that reflect the continuing refugee crisis and highlight individual stories.


John Domokos, one of the Guardian's refugee and migration correspondents, will introduce the evening with a short overview of the current international and national situation, and then present one of his films.


Local directors/producers Nima Shahmalekpur and Anna Merryfield will present their short-film, Gudiparan, about kite maker and flyer Ahmadzia. Ahmadzia is an Afghan refugee now living in Southwark.


Journalists/video-producers from the Refugee Journalism Project based at London College of Communication will show some of their work and talk about it.


We'll also be showing some short films from Save the Children.


There will be a Q &A after each of the films and plenty of time for discussion.


Entrance is free, but we will have a collection for refugee support organisations.


The Ivy House pub provides food.


We hope to see you on November 17th. Please tell friends, family, workmates etc about the event.

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
