Many thanks for this Martin,

I've only given it a brief look at the moment, but it looks like an update/follow-up to various strands he was connecting in the book Hackney - That Rose-Red Empire.

And yes, that Sinclair walk is well worth doing.

Iain Sinclair's 70x70 film season: 2013-2014

The writer is curating a season of 70 classic and unusual films throughout his 70th birthday year, presented in cinemas and quirky venues across the capital.

What’s interesting from a Foxx-perspective, is the inclusion of Hackney 8mm Diary Films. 1969 > 1975 - 7/8 June at The Barbican in 2014. I have no idea if these are the films that Foxx scored the music to back in 2010, but it’s possible they could be.
