Here is a sequel to last year's most popular local film. Don't miss it if you are interested in the future of businesses in Peckham, or the vibrant local social economy we have here, or local film making or other things! Come and enjoy and also support our own local independent Cinema.
This film will satisfy a variety of interests, and is followed by a celebration in our very own Bussey building, which now has a promising lively future.
The Copeland site where the Bussey is, just minutes from the Cinema, has been rescued from a plan to kill it off for a soul-less tram depot (see here for a 2007 article on the meaning of that: http://www.peckhamvision.org/wiki/Croydon_tram_depot )

WEDNESDAY 17 NOVEMBER 6.30 - 8.30 pm
New Film - Consume Peckham: Take 16
Peckham Multiplex
Admission £1.99
AFTERPARTY @ BUSSEY BUILDING
9 - 2.30 am
*Consume Peckham: Take 16* comprises sixteen short films focusing on a variety of local businesses. Together they build up an authentic portrait of Peckham’s rich and diverse local economy, as well as questioning how these different cultures are able to live side by side.The filmmakers from Chelsea College of Art & Design have immersed themselves within the community. The aim has been to build relationships and to gain the trust of the businesses whom they are seeking to observe, understand and represent.
From bread production to international shipping logistics; from bespoke fashions to the ever-busy greengrocer; Consume Peckham: Take 16 provides a snapshot of the varied and occasionally bizarre cultural mix that is to be found in South London’s most infamous postcode. See below for film synopses.
_________________________________________
FILM SYNOPSES:
| Melange Chocolate
Steven Williams, Sarah Bates, Kate Black
Run by self taught chocolatier Isabella, Melange Chocolate is a passionate addition to Peckham's gastronomic offering. Passing on her trade and talent to the local community through chocolate workshops, her specialist cuisine is made available to those with a keen taste for interesting, sometimes exotic flavours. With previous experience of other cultures and professions behind her; we explore the fusion between Isabella's chocolatier and the growing trade in the cultural melting pot that is Peckham.
| The Greyhound Pub
Joe Mania, Sophie Heath, Louis Yiallouris
The Greyhound is a pub set deep in the heritage of the local community. For locals Peter Hill and Brendon McCann, the pub is a vital part of their day to day lives. Having met thirty years ago in pubs in the surrounding area, the two have seen the community grow and alter around them. Whilst Peter can sing like Elvis and do maths like a mathematician; Brendon's passion lies in deer print shirts and silver belt buckles.
| Born and Bread
Isabel Gibson, Joe Myers, Jack Haslehurst
Born and Bread, a wholesale bakery in London caters for a widespread clientele, from the local delis of the surrounding area, to luxury food hall of Harrods. Exploring the process behind bread production, the documentary sees the varying forms of bread created, catering for all cultural tastes. Following the process from the ground up, this film explores the initial selection of ingredients; through to the mixing process and baking in a traditional wood burning oven. Following the delivery in the early hours of the morning, the bread is seen from preparation to baking; to packaging and delivery.
| Theatre Peckham
Yasameen Noorian, Sam Pavans de Ceccatty, Jessie May Peters
Established in 1985, Theatre Peckham is proud to be celebrating its 25th anniversary his year. Founded under the name New Peckham Varieties, the company has become an inspirational aspect of the community. Currently preparing for their Christmas performances, we follow rehearsals, as well as the variety of classes taught. Budding actors, singers and dancers attend the theatre, making the company a hub for local creativity. The vibrant and imaginative atmosphere found within the theatre is an exciting representation of young, creative arts within Peckham.
| Ryecraft Motors
Simon French, Jon Endres, Elaan Bourn
Ryecraft Motors is a Peckham based automobile workshop established in 1982. This short film document's several days worth of work from mechanic and owner Pete's perspective. Born in Cyprus, Pete was first introduced to automobile mechanics at the age of eight; an honest man who works a manual trade and runs his own business. Coming from a background of long hours, dedication and ambition, Pete and his workshop offers a glimpse into a skill now sadly in decline.
| The London Chroming Company
Dan Cooper, Joshua Stocker, Frasier Howie, Margarita Young
The London Chroming Company is one of Britain’s last traditional chroming facilities. Based on the Old Kent Road, the company was formed in 1979 by Mike Chamberlain and Phillip Lefelle. Hidden behind a non-descript façade, is an Aladdin's cave filled with car bumpers, grills, panels, and bubbling vats of chemicals. The film gives an insight into a long forgotten craft, most of which hasn’t changed for over a century, along with the personal stories of the individuals working there.
| Peckham Spares
Christian Jeffrey, Veronica Law, Tineshia Johnson
For over thirty years, Peckham Spares has assisted the local community with its mechanical needs. Now owned by Harry, the family run company is crammed with spares and catalogues for every vehicle imaginable. We observe the importance of the company to people within the local community, and see the vibrant personalities who work there. The atmosphere found within Peckham Spares, is a true reflection of the sense of community found in the area.
| Chaz Hairdressers
Didi Blackhurst, Tom Brushwood
Chaz Hairdressers is one of Bellenden Road's longest running businesses. Alongside his family, the owner George has opened his doors to the locals for over forty years. In an environment where businesses change hands frequently, this small shop has, in an essence, created a sense of community within itself. Any day in George's shop sees a diverse range of clients through it's doors. Alongside the day to day workings of this salon, the film reveals the unusual hobbies he practices on his premises.
| Gisella
Danny Wheeler, Marielle Jay, Chloe Hwang
Gisella is a bespoke fashion boutique based in Peckham Rye, started in 1991 by a mother and daughter. Working by appointment only they have developed a diverse range of clients and projects. Designing and making all their pieces on site the film documents a creative energy at work through a aspirational and unique business.
| Il Giardino
Andrew Baker, Haobo Chen, Helen Chesner
Eduardo Tello, chef proprietor of Il Giardino tells of humble beginnings and Peckham's culture. Catering for a varied palette, the restaurant creates an eclectic mix of Italian and Peruvian food; with the atmosphere of a Sardinian bistro. Eduardo sees his restaurant as an escape from the reality of urban life, priding itself in its family origins.
| The Bun House
Sophia Ray, Emil Placheta. Gabrielle Gerard
A traditional family run pub, The Bun House is based on Peckham High Street. With a strong community base this pub brings in an unusual juxtaposition of clientele, regulars of over twenty years sit alongside the youngsters. The once empty back room of the pub is now home to The Bun House Bandits - a group of young graduated artists who put on a monthly exhibition, producing work on site. This documentary delves into this dying breed of old English pub; and how the long term regulars interact with the younger artists infiltrating and changing their familiar surroundings.
| Urban Collections
Joel Baker, Greta Benediktsdóttir, Arwa Al-Balushi
Urban Collections is a small shop tucked away inside Sky Shopping City which caters for the young people of Peckham. What started out as two men selling hats on the street is now a fully fledged shop; still selling hats with jeans, t-shirts, jumpers, music and DVDs too. The welcoming owners use bright colours and loud music in attempt to lure the customer in; acting as a wider metaphor for a business that grabs every opportunity it can. The film considers the vision of two charismatic men whose ambition extends much further than their 5 metre wide establishment.
| The London Car Service Express
Jean Lopes, Ali Coggan, Kelsey Lampman
The London Car Service Express, a well established minicab company based in the heart of Peckham gives us an insight into the local area. We get up close to the inner workings of the business and the relationship between employees and their clients. With over fifty years experience between them, the cab drivers provide the viewer with an insight into the area; relaying personal encounters and personal perspectives on the local people.
| Ali's Greengrocers
Iona Davis, Natalie Doto, Josh Carpenter
The Greengrocers in Peckham are quiet and unassuming. Take a closer look and you’ll see the vibrancy and passion behind these stalls. This documentary focuses on the richness of the business, from the colours of the fresh fruit, and the relationship between the family members who run it. We observe the day to day workings of the store, and the touching personal relationships formed between a local greengrocer and the customers.
| Nimba Shipping
Bhav Mistry, Emma Noble, Morgan Winter
Nimba Shipping documents the process of transportation involved in shipping customer's goods from a small yard in Copeland Industrial Park, Peckham, out to Africa. We gain an insight into a service that connects Africa and Peckham physically through trade and logistics. Sarjoh the owner of the organisation along with his staff, friends, customers and passers by expose their working system, and their vital role in serving the community.
| Neil
Olivia Tytherleigh, Matt Flynn, Jessica Waters
Neil is the proprietor of five small business in Peckham. Through first hand observation of his diverse collection of business and anecdotes from Neil and his staff, this documentary aims to give an insight into those who provide a service for the Peckham community. With a primary focus on the coin operated Laundrette, a communal hub of Peckham; this dated practice is seen as integral to local community life.

Peckham future - public events
The next stage of the Council's planning for the future of Peckham is beginning. There will be some formal consultation on their proposals next February. In preparation for this, and following Peckham Vision's successful Town Centre Forum meetings, the Council has organised two preview events to give us a chance to give some early feedback. One is on a Saturday day time and one a weekday evening to maximise the chances people can get there.
For anyone keen on a revitalisation of Peckham, and the town centre in particular, these are excellent chances to make a contribution and become better informed. It is really worth going to one of these events:
PUBLIC EVENTS:
- Saturday 27 November 2010, 12.30pm to 3.30pm,
Bussey Building, 133 Rye Lane, SE15
- Tuesday 30 November 2010, 6pm to 9pm,
Bussey Building, 133 Rye Lane, SE15
The Council says: "These will be informal sessions. People may come for part of the time if they wish. There will be displays and information on the key emerging preferred options for the Peckham and Nunhead area action plan (PNAAP). As well as an early opportunity to find out what direction the preferred options are heading in, this is a chance to give initial thoughts and reactions as an input into finalising the preferred options that will be consulted on next year."
Please come to one of these events, and also pass this information on to anyone else you know who lives or uses facilities in Peckham.
To help with the arrangements, if you think you can attend please
RSVP to futurepeckham@southwark.gov.uk

Fri 29th Oct 7pm CLF Art Cafe
NEWS FROM PECKHAM VISION
see the latest at: http://www.peckhamvision.org
You are officially Invited to a weekend of
FREE Celebratory CLF Launch Events
@ THE BUSSEY BUILDING
133 Rye Lane, London SE15 4ST
further info: http://www.clfartcafe.org
Launch event 1
FRIDAY 29th OCTOBER
7.00PM - 2.00AM
Free Admission before 11pm / £5 After
Do come and drop in to this celebration of the launch of the CLF Art Cafe, over 3 years of Bussey Building CLF Events and the Official Launch of one of London's leading cutting edge venues.
Come early between 7pm and 9pm when music will be low and background, suitable for hearing each other! So come also and mark the success of Peckham Vision's work to lift our spirits and our sights to what Peckham could become. Just last Saturday the CLF Art Cafe hosted the Peckham Town Centre Forum again and an enthusiastic meeting of people working together across a variety of interests for the future of Peckham. See http://www.peckhamvision.org/wiki/Peckham_Town_Centre_Forum
As many of you know we first started publicising events in the Bussey building in 2005 when we stumbled on the plan to demolish it and the adjacent 7 acre site for the tram depot. Fortunately TfL finally saw sense and concluded that it was the wrong thing to do for this key part of the town centre, and discovered it wasn't the right place for the tram depot anyway (see the report here http://www.peckhamvision.org/wiki/Visions_for_Peckham#Latest_News ).
Over these last few years the Bussey building has revealed its significant potential as part of the burgeoning cultural world in Peckham. You can get a taste of some of this at the celebration this coming Friday and Saturday events in the Bussey building itself at the official launch of the CLF Art Cafe.
The CLF Art Cafe, developed by Mickey Smith, has been the host of many Peckham Vision events over the last few years, and other community events, and now has the permissions it needs to open full time:

Peckham town centre revitalisation
News from Peckham Vision
The Peckham Town Centre Forum has evolved from the work of Peckham Vision and the Rye Lane & Station Action Group. It is bringing together anyone who is enthusiastic and wants to contribute to new thinking and actions to revitalise the town centre.
If you would you like to get actively involved in this work, please email info@peckhamvision.org, so we can link you in.
The Forum's next meeting is on Saturday 23rd October. We will be having a walkabout in the town centre in the morning to work on ideas for improving the street scene, think about the large development sites, and in the afternoon at the meeting discussing those and several other topical issues.
You can see some of the activity, that has led up to this, on the website at

small or communal work spaces in Peckham
I come across a number of people who live in Peckham or nearby who are looking for some small office and working space outside their homes to share with others in similar situations. Here is a recent example:
___________________________________________
Please may I ask for a quick bit of advice? As you probably know, I spend a fair amount of my working life editing video, sat at home in front of my computer. For a while now, I've been thinking that I should find some office space. My absolute ideal would be office space already populated with like-minded people who are also working on their own projects - a kind of communal filmmaker/artist studio. I was wondering if you might know if such a "communal office space" already exists anywhere in the neighbourhood?
___________________________________________
I am interested in seeing if we can think of some way to find out more about the kinds of work spaces that could be developed in Peckham to meet these kinds of needs.
If you have any information or ideas about the needs or the supply of spaces, let me know.

CONSUME PECKHAM: 18 FILMS
Consume Peckham: 18 films, is a collaborative film project between 18 businesses and 57 students from Chelsea College of Art and Design. It was produced as part of I Love Peckham 2009 Development Project. I Love Peckham 2009-2010 is managed by Southwark Arts Forum.
The films take a fresh look at the complex relationships between culture and commercialism in Peckham, as seen from the point of view of young people unfamiliar to the area. With guidance and support from mentors the students have been encouraged to integrate themselves into the community and take a deep approach to research in order to gain trust from the businesses they are seeking to understand.
We observe the mundane and the poetic in the day to day routine of Ozzie’s Café; we witness the preparation of a traditional Pakistani goat stew, we seek to understand why Peckham needs a Persian corner shop, and see how the small adds in a newsagent’s window are a vital hub of information exchange. Seen together, the 18 films build up a multifaceted documentary portrait of Peckham revealing tangled cultural, social and economic relationships. The films ask if the abundance of diversity in such a confined space can create a utopia; or if divisions and differences create tensions that cannot be bridged.
Mentors: Neil Drabble & Kieron Dennis

high street.

However, we learn that the increasing threat from internet bookings and current economic conditions are proving tough times for the travel agency business.
Bar Story - Holly Featherstone, Willy Harris, Melanie Baerlocher. 2009
Under the train station, and squashed into a railway arch, Bar Story is often the first port of call for young people coming to Peckham; the young trendy crowd that frequent this bar are not interested in meeting the established communities of Peckham, but only how the rent is cheap, and the scene is catching on.... The film presents a separated relationship between the settled Peckham community and art students.

Petitou - Craig Sharp, Julian Shaw, Vanessa McKeown. 2009
Barely moments away from the frantic heart of Peckham, with its endless supply of butchers, grocers and mobile phone shops you will find Petitou, an independent café situated in a quiet street more reminiscent of a leafy New York suburb than the mayhem of South East London. This short film focuses on the how the café has responded to the social and economic changes in the area, such as the nflux of young families and professionals.
Tommy’s Wear and Tear - Amy Jordan, Leon Kesko, Stephanie Jones.2009
Peckham is a popular location for young families, and for three generations Tommy’s Wear and Tear has been providing affordable children’s clothes and product in the community. Through interviews with Tommy, Abu and Ali they reveal the importance of regeneration to encourage young families to continue choose to live in the area.
E&M Travel Agents - Malia Baker, Marine Malak, Robbie Schweidler. 2009
E & M Travel offers its customers a personal service, responding to Peckham’s unique identity as a destination and a hub for travel. Though interviews with employees; Melisa, Bridget and Patrick we can appreciate the value of a local business committed to helping customers face-to-face, and ultimately connecting people and places all over the world. However, we learn that the increasing threat from internet bookings and current economic conditions are proving tough times for the travel agency business.
Bar Story - Holly Featherstone, Willy Harris, Melanie Baerlocher. 2009
Under the train station, and squashed into a railway arch, Bar Story is often the first port of call for young people coming to Peckham; the young trendy crowd that frequent this bar are not interested in meeting the established communities of Peckham, but only how the rent is cheap, and the scene is catching on.... The film presents a separated relationship between the settled Peckham community and art students.
Number 46 - Alex Herrmann, Scarlet Shillingford-Blay, Kitty Spicer, Caroline Dyet 2009
Julie runs a decrepit shop that carries no name, it could be described as a conglomeration of untold peculiar objects and artifacts from the past. The shop is located on Choumert Road, and located right at the invisible demarcation line that separates the social and economic contrasts of Rye Lane and Bellenden. The shop with no name serves as metaphor for the old and the new as it is on the verge of being converted into a gallery space.
Peckham Business Park - Vachira Tongrow, Daniel Lincoln, Christian Pinchback, Adam Laucht. 2009
Profiling Peckham Business Park where artists, studios, designers, printers, carpenters and churches all co-exist in close proximity. Using interviews the film asks if social, economic and cultural diversity in such a confined space can create a utopia; or are there cultural divisions and tensions that cannot be bridged.
The Rastafarian Shop Peckham Covered Market (Rye Lane) - Dan Cottrell, Sian Beeton, Michael Clarke.2009
Birdy runs a small Rastafarian shop, selling his artwork, amongst other things, in the Covered Market in Rye. His important connection with the community has led the film makers to inquire how a place can be defined without its residents. The film goes on to ask members of the community 'What is the most important thing in your life?’ inviting some unusual replies.
Ozzie’s Café - Christina Donellan, Glynis Hutamarez, Christina Colombo. 2009Documenting the routine of Ozzie’s Café we experience the poetic and mundane details of the everyday. We observe how customers come to sit and enjoy the company of others without even speaking a word; and asks the audience to find an appreciation for the muted conversation and sluggish energy that buzzes within the small confines of the cafe walls.
Sahki Quality Meat and Fish - Vicky Vialichka, Emma Terry, Jack Gladstone. 2009
A short film based around Sahki Quality Meat and Fish, one of the many butchers along Peckham Rye high street. We learn that the business is thriving despite being one of twenty-one meat shops along the small stretch of Peckham Rye. An interview with Moah the owner reveals the day to day challenges of running a business in Peckham, and offers an explanation of why meat and phone shops co-exist in the same premises.
Christmas and Wards Demolition Yard - Joe Joiner, Vanessa Humphreys, Frazer Howie.2009
Recording the making of a phoenix sculpture that was constructed from scrap wood from ‘Christmas Wards Demolition Yard’ this short film, is focused on the manual workers of Peckham. The Phoenix according to legend is reduced to ashes at the end of its life, from which a new, young phoenix is reborn to live again. The film using the metaphor of destruction and creation aims to communicate a message of rejuvenation among the community.
The Bun House - Dave Russell, Walter Wong Wing Hong. 2009
The Bun House is one of the last of a dying breed of Pubs. With the growth of bar chains and gentrification, it is becoming increasingly rare to find independent pubs with as strong a sense of community. In this film, local legend Michael Mulcahy describes his unique approach to running a pub, combining everything from art exhibitions, to the humble darts night to demonstrate that the heart and soul of a town is and always will be the local pub.
Al Sibtian’s - Jowey Roden, Louise Robinson, Sae Young Yang. 2009
Al Sibtian’s is a continental butchers and grocers located on rye lane, he has managed the store for 9 years and takes pride in being located where he is. Through interviews and conversations with Al Sibtain he convinces the filmakers to challenge their pre-conceived ideas about the people of Peckham – taking up the challenge, and taking to the street they set out to test the community spirit in Peckham.

Support the Peckham Saturation Zone extension.
Council proposals for control of licensing in Peckham Town centre
Council arranged meeting
TUESDAY 19 MAY 2009, 7pm - 8.30pm
at the Unity Centre, 37-39 Peckham High Street, SE15 5EB.
The email below from local residents gives information about the Council proposals, and seeks other residents' support for the proposals. A map of the proposed extension is available here . If you live in the current zone, the proposed extension, or in nearby streets, or care about the future of Peckham town centre, you will be interested in this.
______________________________________________
------- Forwarded message follows -------
Dear Peckham resident,
Have you ever heard stories of shootings and stabbings at bars and clubs in Peckham? Perhaps you have suffered personally from problems of violent disorder or noise nuisance at or around licensed premises in Peckham. Have you ever wondered why the council doesn't do something about these problems? Well now is your chance to make sure they do, by making your voice heard.
If you live in or around Peckham Town Centre and you believe that the council should have greater powers to combat crime, disorder and nuisance caused by licensed premises in the area, then please act now to support the proposed extension to the Peckham Saturation Zone.
What is the saturation zone?
The Saturation Zone gives the council greater powers to limit the number of licensed premises within the zone.
The effect of the saturation zone is to factor in the issue of cumulative impact (lots of licensed premises within a concentrated area) when considering license applications within the zone.
Under the 2003 licensing act, any application for an alcohol or entertainment license should be granted unless it can be demonstrated that it will breach one of the four licensing objectives (prevention of crime & disorder, public safety, prevention of nuisance and prevention of harm to children).
Within the saturation zone, however, whenever an interested party makes a representation against a new license application, it is down to the applicant to prove that the proposed license will not add to existing problems caused by licensed premises in the area.
In other words, the default position within the saturation zone is to refuse a license application whenever an objection is raised to it.
The existing saturation zone has already been used to prevent at least one night club on Rye Lane being given a late-night license. The extension will ensure that residents south and west of the zone are given the same protection.
Does this mean my local pub could be shut down?
No. The saturation zone has no effect on exisiting licenses, only new applications.
But if a license is revoked due to breach of licensing conditions, then any application for a new license at the same premises will be affected by the saturation zone. In effect, this will make it more difficult for problem premises to re-apply for revoked licenses.
What areas are affected?
The current saturation zone stretches from just north of Peckham High Street to Choumert Road/ Bournemouth Rd north-to-south, and from Consort Rd to Sumner Rd/ Bellenden Rd east-to-west.
The extension will stretch to Talfourd Road/ Lyndhurst Way on the west side and McDermott Rd/ Bernhall Lane/ Heaton Rd on the south side.
A map of the proposed extension is available at
www.southwark.gov.uk/Uploads/FILE_42065.pdf
How do I make my voice heard?
Download the questionaire on the Saturation Zone extension at
www.southwark.gov.uk/Uploads/FILE_41779.pdf and return it to the council licensing department.
Only those living within the saturation zone area or in surrounding streets are entitled to respond to the consultation.
More details
Full details of the proposed extension are available at www.southwark.gov.uk/businesscentre/licensing/licensingnewsupdate
Saturation zone extension meeting
There is a meeting to discuss the proposed saturation zone extension on Tuesday 19 May 2009, between 7pm and 8.30pm at the Unity Centre, 37-39 Peckham High Street, London SE15 5EB. Call the licensing team on 020 7525 5748 to reserve a place at the meeting.
Who is behind this e-mail?
Tim and Alison Irwin. We live on Peckham High Street and, unfortunately, we have considerable experience of the negative impact badly-run licensed premises and over-generous licensing hours can have on residents' quality of life, having lived near to the M'Balax nightclub on Peckham High Street for 18 months, until it was closed down following a triple shooting.
We believe the saturation zone extension will help prevent similar problems within the extension area in the future. We can be contacted at timirwin789@hotmail.co.uk
Once again, if this is an issue that concerns you, please visit the Southwark website and make your voice heard.
Yours faithfully,
Tim and Alison Irwin.

Southwark traders get boost from free weekend parking
Published on: 09/12/2008
With small businesses feeling the bite of the credit crunch, one London borough has decided to drop car parking charges in all council-run car parks over Christmas to boost support for local traders.
The Southwark Council car parks in Stead Street (Walworth), Choumert Grove, Copeland Road and Cerise Road (all in Peckham) will be free on the following weekends - 13-14, 20-21 and 27-28 December.
Car parks will also be free every night from Friday 12 December, right up to 3 January 2009.
Councillor Jeff Hook, Executive member for Environment, said:
“This is a tough festive season for many, with residents tightening their belts and local businesses doing everything they can to get shoppers to come in and buy.
“By making council car parks free on these dates, we hope that this will be all the incentive residents need to use their local shops for Christmas presents and New Year supplies.”
“Local shops are often locally owned and run by people living in Southwark, so we have to do what we can to help them at this time.”
Nunhead & Peckham Community Council had already asked that the Council suspend the new charges until a thorough review and consultation is carried out because of the bad effects they are having. The Community Council in January will be asked to pursue this vigorously.
