Iggy the Eskimo Girl (1968) + Tonite Let’s All Make Love in London (1967) + Introduction
Subtitled “A Pop Concerto,” Peter Whitehead’s incisive documentary on Swinging London features a host of actors, writers, musicians, and scenesters, among them Pink Floyd performing at UFO Club. Paired with this recently restored feature is Anthony Stern’s Iggy the Eskimo Girl, a dynamic short starring model Evelyn ‘Iggy’ Rose. Rose was Syd Barrett’s girlfriend and appeared on the cover of his debut solo LP, The Madcap Laughs.
The screening is introduced by scholars and co-curators of the Peter Whitehead Archive, Dr Steve Chibnall and Dr Alissa Clarke. The Peter Whitehead Archive at De Montfort University, Leicester, will hold a small exhibition of Pink Floyd-related items from the archive in the cinema foyer.DocumentaryPT1H17MTBC
