Inside Jammer's Basement

In a quiet East London basement, the sound of grime was shaped. Inside Jammer’s Basement takes us into the heart of the ‘dungeon’ — the makeshift studio in the family home of Jahmek Power, better known as Jammer. It was here that some of the genre’s most influential artists gathered, clashed, and recorded. A landmark in the story of grime, the space holds a deeper, lesser-known history. Long before it became a hub for music, the house was home to the East London Rastafari Information and Community Services — a grassroots project offering advice and support to vulnerable members of the Caribbean community. Blending intimate interviews with three generations of the Power family and previously unseen home footage, the film uncovers how one room became a site of both community organising and musical innovation.

Game of Thrones: The Last Watch

For a year, acclaimed British filmmaker Jeanie Finlay was embedded on the set of the hit HBO series “Game of Thrones,” chronicling the creation of the show’s most ambitious and complicated season. Debuting one week after the series 8 finale, GAME OF THRONES: THE LAST WATCH delves deep into the mud and blood to reveal the tears and triumphs involved in the challenge of bringing the fantasy world of Westeros to life in the very real studios, fields and car-parks of Northern Ireland. Made with unprecedented access, GAME OF THRONES: THE LAST WATCH is an up-close and personal portrait from the trenches of production, following the crew and the cast as they contend with extreme weather, punishing deadlines and an ever-excited fandom hungry for spoilers. Much more than a “making of” documentary, this is a funny, heartbreaking story, told with wit and intimacy, about the bittersweet pleasures of what it means to create a world – and then have to say goodbye to it.
