Dream English Kid 1964-1999AD

Synopsis

Turner prize-winning artist Mark Leckey’s autobiographical film started with a piece of found bootleg documentation of a Joy Division gig that he attended in 1979, and the realisation that many of our personal memories and experiences can now be found online. From there, 'Dream English Kid' attempts to create a record of all the significant events in Leckey’s life during the late 20th Century through found traces of film, adverts and popular music- Benjamin Cook, LFF
