Weekend Dose of Culture



So this weekend I suggest that all film enthusiasts stop what they are doing and head out East to the London Fields Free Film Festival.

Now in its second year, the film festival offers East Londoners a wide range of  documentaries, shorts and films covering community, life and with Halloween just around the corner a good dose of horror. 

Don't expect to sit inside a cinema to watch these films. Screenings are taking place in a variety of locations including the London Fields Fitness Studio and the chapel in Bethnal Green.

Weekend Dose of Culture


So this weekend I suggest you hot tail it down to the National Portrait Gallery to catch the Audrey Hepburn exhibition before it closes.

With over seventy photos on display you'll be transported back in time to the childhood of the iconic Hollywood actress, through to her early beginnings on the stage and on to her rise to fame as an international starlet. Aside from iconic images from some of her most memorable film roles and photo shoots, there will also be a selection of rare photos for you to see.

Advance tickets are no longer available, but you can still get tickets on the door if you turn up at 10am. Expect a long queue - I'll certainly be in the queue on Sunday!

Audrey Hepburn: Portraits of an Icon
Extras:Sadly the extra's ship has sailed away, but having the opportunity to admire image upon image of the stunning Audrey is good enough.
Cost:£9
Opening Dates: Till the 18th October 2015
