Seeking a creative outlet during lockdown, a group of 10 filmmakers and Zoom Film School alumni took part in a peer-led project to create a series of ‘lockumentaries.'

Due to social distancing, all of the films were all directed, produced, shot and edited independently.

They offer observations on locked-down life in Tower Hamlets and South London, focusing on themes such as shifting pace of life, resilience and the impact of shielding.
