SEFVA is based at the University of Brighton and the West Sussex Record Office and since 1992 has built a moving image collection of life and work in the South East.

 

The history of Brighton on film is marked by the spectacle of Brighton as a town of crime.

Films including THE BRIGHTON STRANGLER (1945) BRIGHTON ROCK (1948) JIGSAW (1962) MONA LISA (1986) and CIRCUS (2000) all depict a town of corruption and violence in contrast with Brighton’s tourist identity.If you’ve never found yourselves in police cells on a Saturday morning then here is your chance. In the atmospheric location of the cells in the former Brighton Police Station, Professor Steve Chibnall of De Montfort University, Leicester will give a presentation with film extracts exploring Brighton & Hove’s life of crime on film.

Steve Chibnall is author of BRIGHTON ROCK (IB Tauris) and co-editor of BRITISH CRIME CINEMA (Routledge).
