Londoners Under Lockdown: Ingenious Filmmaker Interviews From a Safe Distance

Director Will Hazell shot the latest Free of the Week when London went into lockdown just three weeks ago.

Hazell came up with an ingenious filming technique in order to capture people’s feelings, worries and musings on the Covid-19 outbreak while maintaining a safe distance in his car. He speaks to friends, members of a London Covid-19 Facebook page, and captures balcony and window performances by Desree and Mazaika.

The result is as eery as it is intimate, with a spectrum of different characters voicing what’s been on all of our minds as they ponder their new circumstances.

Edit: ‘Free of the Week’ is now ‘Short of the Week’.
