To coincide with the Wolf Suschitzky Season at the Garden Cinema in May, the ACF London is pleased to continue with two more in-house screenings.

Based on John Mortimer's play of the same title, Lunch Hour tells the story of an illicit rendezvous between nervous London co-workers.

Dissecting class and sexual moral, it is a visually playful and sharp-eyed snapshot of a society awakening from post-war prudishness. With swinging London just around the corner, the film is a zesty exploration of Britain in the early 1960s and a true delight to watch.

Born in 1912 into a Viennese publisher’s family of social democratic conviction, Wolfgang Suschitzky was an eyewitness to the 20th and 21st century with a career spanning well over 70 years. Aside from his rich body of work as a stills photographer, he collaborated on some 200 documentary and fiction films as lighting cameraman and is probably best known for his work on GET CARTER.

This mini-season, a collaboration between the Austrian Cultural Forum London and The Garden Cinema, strives to introduce new audiences to the fascinating life and work of this humanist artist who kept his optimistic curiosity and generosity throughout his long life.

Please note that all CineClub films are suitable for an 18+ audience.
