Movie Synopsis:

Dickens in London is an innovative collaboration between BBC Radio 4, BBC Radio Drama and Film London Artists' Moving Image Network (FLAMIN), supported by the National Lottery through Arts Council England. Five of Dickens' journalistic essays were adapted by Michael Eaton for five radio plays depicting Dickens' impressions of London and forming a biographical portrait. Film artist Chris Newby responded to the plays and, working in counterpoint to the audio, created this arresting, powerful and highly distinctive work that incorporates animation, puppetry and contemporary footage, and a Neil Brand score.
