LAPTOP JAM - Director Richard Harris - 2003- 24 mins

The Brighton-based Laptop Jams colllective have been described by Bizarre magazine, as 'an aural and visual barrage so innovative and downright weird that your brain could get bruised'. Having established a cult following in Brighton and the South East, they are now receiving national attention and perform regularly at venues and festivals around the UK, including London's ICA and even the Victoria & Albert museum. Laptop Jam captures the experience with a fast-paced blend of live footage, surreal-ish interviews and eerily distorted images. It also features a soundtrack of original funk, techno and ambient music created and performed by the Jammers themselves.

COLLECTORS OF WOOD STREET - Director Mark Windows - 2004 - 10 mins

Since its bustling heyday in the 1970s, Walthamstow's unique Collectors Centre has gradually declined to the point where it barely survives. Nowadays, only a few traders and eccentrics remain in this almost forgotten part of East London. One of them (left) owns a record stall and his prodigious musical memory is able to come up with the song title and artist of any vinyl record - 45 or 33 rpm - merely by being given its catalogue number. He also does the world's worst impression of Mick Jagger.

THE MEETING PLACE – Director Richard Harris - 2002 - 13 mins
