Film Lecture: The Fall

Considered by Whitehead to be his most important film, The Fall is an extraordinary piece of filmmaking, an extremely personal statement on violence, revolution and the turbulence of New York between October 1967 and June 1968. The attempt to come to grips with the collapse of an era, via the images he has shot, brings Whitehead to his own emotional collapse.
