Project Description

Still from The Elephant Never Forgets
A documentary on the memories of older residents of the Elephant and Castle. Produced as part of a community project funded by Elephant Links in collaboration with Groundwork Southwark and Community TV Trust, the documentary involved several clubs and groups working with older people in Southwark and about 30 residents. As well as celebrating individual’s reminiscences, ‘The Elephant Never Forgets’ explores the participants’ experience of the present and their vision for a future where the Elephant will be completely transformed by the forthcoming redevelopment of the area.
The short film was shown as part of Elefest 2004 on 15th July at the Coronet on New Kent Road, together with a Q&A session with the production team and some of the people featured in the film.
