Cuts, More Than Just a Haircut
Director: Sarah Lewis
Year: 2026
Filmed over a 30-year period, CUTS - MORE THAN A HAIRCUT delivers a vital portrait of the low-key, world-famous London barbershop ‘Cuts’ - not just a place to get your hair styled but a space for street fashion and pop innovators. Guided by freewheeling founders James Lebon and Steve Brooks, who met when one was a Rockerbilly and the other a New Romantic, the salon moved from early '80s post punk roots to become a communal hub for DJs, photographers and style icons, an influencer in the analogue age. Bearing witness to the passing of time brings profound and often tragic personal change in the hairdressers' lives within the wider context of immense shifts in the UK's political and cultural landscape. The film is an anthem to the promise of youth and the friendships that endure over a lifetime.

Cuts, No Ifs Or Buts [original listing record for reference]
Director: Sarah Lewis
Year: 2025
Filmed over a 25-year period, CUTS, NO IFS OR BUTS delivers a vital portrait of the low-key, yet world-famous London barbershop ‘Cuts’ – not just a place to get your hair styled but a space for street fashion and pop innovators. Guided by freewheeling founders James Lebon and Steve Brooks who met when one was a Rockerbilly and the other a New Romantic, the salon moved from early 80s post punk roots to become a communal hub for DJs, photographers and style icons, an influencer in the analogue age. The film allows us to bear witness to the passing of time and the profound and often tragic personal change in the hairdressers' lives within the wider context of change in the UK's political and cultural landscape. It highlights the themes of family and creativity and is an anthem of the promise of youth and the friendships that endure (or not) over a lifetime.
