Crystal Gazing (Dir. Laura Mulvey and Peter Wollen 1982, 92 minutes)
Crystal Gazing is an experimental feature film. Set during Margaret Thatcher’s first administration, it is concerned with the lives of four ‘cultural workers’ in London. One of the many remarkable aspects of this film is its dialogue with other forms of independent cultural production, most notably comedy, theatre, and music. It features a special soundtrack, much of which of composed especially for the film, by British musician Lora Logic.
