Hanging Out: Youth Culture Then and Now- video
This video focuses on the immense changes that occurred in popular and social customs during the 1950s and 1960s. This period is brought to life through an exploration of the fashions, music, sport, film, and entertainment of that time. Members from London’s diverse communities share their experiences in hanging out in their various boroughs. They talk about how music and the club scenes of the 1960s played a vital part in bringing young black and white people together. From sewing 1950s fashion to designer brand obsession, to Mods and Rockers and anti-war protest and social change, this video makes history accessible and relevant for fine art, music, politics, fashion, media, sports, history, and film studies.
The video is the trailer for the Hanging Out Project an hour documentary, produced by Tuareg Productions Ltd.
Co-directed by Lorna Holder and Yvonne Deutschman. Produced by Lorna Holder, and premiered at the V&A in 2012

Moving Out video
This short video takes a unique look at Industrial Nottingham through the eyes of the 1960s Windrush workers. Places of work include Gedling Colliery (coal mining), Raleigh (bicycle factory), Boots, and the NHS. Research content allows teachers and parents to create unique learning activities for students to aid home learning and beyond. It is entertaining with unique archive images, 1960s ska music, and contributions from Caribbean elders, sharing their heartwarming stories of working in 1960s Britain.
It will enable Key Stage 3- Year 9 students from diverse backgrounds to research their cultural identity and have a better sense of belonging. Moving Out was produced by Lorna Holder for Full Spectrum Productions in 2007 and supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
