The spirit of carnival culture celebrated on film by Notting Hill's Coronet
Still from 'Notting Hill-21st Century Carnival', a film by Matthew Bartlett.



LONDON.- The Coronet Inside Out, a free weekly series of unique artists encounters for audiences online, specially created for London’s Coronet Theatre, will feature two films about carnival culture. They will be released online on Friday 28 and Saturday 29 August, marking a weekend which would have been a moment of celebration for the whole of London at the Notting Hill Carnival, but which this year has been cancelled for the first time in its history.

Friday 28 August
NOTTING HILL: 21ST CENTURY CARNIVAL

Commissioned by the Coronet, the film explores the heritage of the Notting Hill Carnival, following Cyprian de Coteau, a Trinidadian living in London, as he returns to the carnival after ten years absence. In his search for the heart of the carnival, from its roots in Trinidad and Tobago to the multicultural street festival of today, he solicits differing opinions from a broad cross-section of Trinidadians: author Earl Lovelace; musician and poet, Anthony Joseph; activist and writer; Attillah Springer; Notting Hill Councillors, theatre director Felix Cross; Tabernacle Director (at the time) Christopher Scholey, and costume designers Flamboyan among them.




Directed by Matthew Bartlett and James Kermack
Presented by Cyprian de Coteau
Running time: 46 mins

Saturday 29 August
AFTER MAS

Co-produced by the Coronet, AFTER MAS is a short film from Trinidadian/UK filmmaker Karen Martinez. It tells the story of a love that flourishes under the cover of darkness during the festival of J'ouvert on the streets of Port-of-Spain. Shot in Trinidad during Carnival itself, we experience the charge of this bacchanalian drama before following the characters return to their separate lives. In the cold light of day, can these young lovers from very different backgrounds stay true to their desires?

Written and directed by Karen Martinez
Starring Carly Coutts & Khafra Rudder
Featuring the music of Bunji Garlin
Running time: 20 mins
