Fahrenheit 451 (1966 film) screening, 25 February
There is a major redevelopment planned for the Roehampton area. Putney Society and Ibstock Place School are screening this classic film to illustrate the importance of the Alton Estate in the development of 20th century housing, starting off the programme with a clip of the eminent architect Richard Rogers discussing the Estate. Co-incidentally, the film, which features the Estate, happens to be very topical with all sorts of contemporary issues predicted - censorship, fake news and so on – a fascinating combination!
