Formed in 2004, no.w.here is an artist run space in London where the place of the moving image within contemporary art can be explored and expanded. They produce projects, events, facilities, workshops and education programmes. On the Edgware Road, no.where work with actors Khalid Abdalla and Cressida Trew to recall histories of Britain’s Free Cinema movement, producing a collaborative film made by those with links to the neighbourhood.
Actor Khalid Abdalla, known for his lead role in the film The Kite Runner, spent his youth on the Edgware Road. He is currently producer of In the Last Days of the City, a feature length film shot in Cairo, Baghdad, Beirut, Alexandria and Berlin. Abdalla and collaborator Cressida Trew link the Free Cinema School to global independent cinema networks. His residency is undertaken in collaboration with Townhouse Gallery in Cairo.
