Norman Cohen and Arnold L. Miller co-direct this cult documentary exploring London nightlife. Depicting the somewhat unsavoury underside of London in the 1960s, the feature examines the after dark goings on in the city's seedy clubs and bars.
Venturing beyond conventional glamorous images of the capital, Londoninthe Raw offers a stark and revealing insight into life in the city during the swinging '60s.
BFI Flipside is dedicated to rediscovering the margins of British film, reclaiming a space for forgotten movies and filmmakers who would otherwise be in danger of disappearing from our screens forever. It is a home for UK cinematic oddities, offering everything from exploitation documentaries to B-movies, countercultural curios and obscure classics, If it's weird, British and forgotten, then it's Flipside.
