Suite (212)

This week, Tom Overton interviews Dr Clive James Nwonka (http://www.lse.ac.uk/sociology/people/Clive-Nwonka) about White Screen/Black Images - Nwonka's new course about black cinema at the London School of Economics (http://www.lse.ac.uk/resources/calendar/courseGuides/SO/2018_SO4A9.htm). They also discuss issues of diversity (a peculiarly New Labour concept) against equality, the relationship between art, grime and cinema; highlights of the recent London Film Festival; and much more.
