Theatre Girls. by Pollack, Claire,film director.; Longinotto, Kim,film director.; Royal Anthropological Institute (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Originally produced by Royal Anthropological Institute in 1979.The “Theatre Girls Club” is a hostel for homeless, destitute and alcoholic women in Soho, London. It is run by six paid workers and it is the only hostel in London which takes any women at any time. The filmmakers lived in the hostel for more than two months, establishing an extraordinary level of trust with their “cast” —from the home’s feisty cook to an elderly resident who was a terminal alcoholic. In what will later be recognized as a signature style, Longinotto films without judgement and finds the humor and humanity in situations and characters that might otherwise be seen as tragic.Mode of access: World Wide Web.
