Initially recording the changes affecting rural and industrial communities in the early 1960s, he has developed a politically and aesthetically uncompromising body of work in which history, the working class, labour and production, immigration, the environment and the struggle against fascism have been recurring themes.
These screenings presented at Tate Modern are part of the first UK retrospective dedicated to Peter Nestler organised by the Goethe-Institut London, 9–17 November 2012.
The filmmaker and his wife and collaborator Zsóka Nestler were to be present at all screenings but we are sorry to announce that they have had to cancel their visit to London due to unforeseen circumstances.
Organised in collaboration with the Goethe-Institut London. For information on all screenings see www.goethe.de/london
