The Hornsey Film

"A student revolt as re-lived by the students themselves, The Hornsey Film reconstructs the arguments and succession of events that led to the occupation of Hornsey College of Art between May and July 1968." - archive.org
I've always wanted to watch this film. I think it's a M U S T for all art students, and all students in general. An inside look at history, at people like us. These aren't just students making a fuss for no reason, as I think some of the general public like to think most of the time (and that's my own general statement). Like the events at the University of Auckland and the responces from the public. These students of Hornsey are intelligent and forward thinking, they're not "illiterate, mysterious artists" kicking up dust for a little bit of fun.
