DESCRIPTION:British diasporic film has often been seen as a co
 unter-culture to mainstream British cinema. The 19
 90s however saw the popularisation of particularly
  British Asian films\, leading with the seminal Ea
 st is East. This lecture is focused on the precedi
 ng decade\, when British Pakistani films fell unde
 r the rubric of ‘Black Britain’.  Its aim is to un
 earth them\, study their individual expression and
  discuss how cinema and representation are connect
 ed in regards to this diasporic community. This la
 tter point includes a discussion of homeland – wha
 t homes are created and reiterated in front of the
  lens. Before East was so definitely\, so tangibly
  and so incontrovertibly East\, it was a malleable
  mix of acceptance and rejection – this lecture at
  its heart asks about the place of ‘home’ and what
  role visual culture has in defining it.
