La escritora británica Agatha Christie (1890-1976) publicó su primera novela en 1920, en la que debutó el excéntrico detective privado belga Hércules Poirot. Más tarde, en 1927, apareció el primer relato corto protagonizado por la gentil solterona Miss Jane Marple. Un fascinante viaje por la cultura popular en busca de las huellas de dos de los personajes más carismáticos de la literatura de crimen y misterio.
Commissioned by the BBC & BFI, CLASH is a short experimental documentary critiquing Britain's obsession with period dramas, and how they erase the diverse reality of Britain today. This film - part parody, part candid interview - is a response to Humphrey Jennings' 1942 'LISTEN TO BRITAIN', a documentary used to propel a myth of national unity. CLASH, through the perspectives of underrepresented queer people of colour, critiques the myths we still tell ourselves on screen. Through candid interviews and staged period-drama sequences with our subjects - involving a hobby horse race in East London - our film explores the issues surrounding nostalgic heritage cinema, and how it erases the diverse landscape of Britain today.
