Description
London Diaries is a poignant and powerful diary that chronicles Lorenza Mazzetti's journey to survival in London after her family were killed by the Nazis at the end of World War II. Penniless, she worked hard to make ends meet, eventually securing funding from the BFI to make a film. The book offers a unique insight into the birth of Free Cinema in London, describing the making of Together (1957), a neglected masterpiece of British Free Cinema. It also introduces key figures of the movement and explores Mazzetti's struggle to find her place in the city. Beautifully written, this diary reflects on the powerful hold that history has on an individual and how a new destiny can be created. A hidden gem for many years, London Diaries is now available in English for the first time, offering a fascinating glimpse into one of cinema's most important moments.
