Brief Description:
A retrospective of London Migration Film Festival 2016-2019 with some of our favorite films presented in our programme over the past four years will be accessible online for free, so that all of those going through financial crises as a result of Covid-19 - or capitalism more broadly - can access the films. The online programme will be available for six weeks, and we will rotate films and the suggested charity every two weeks.

This document was initially directed at ways for how to turn fieldwork that was initially planned as using face-to-face methods into a more ‘hands-off’ mode. However, people have added useful material about ‘born digital’ research (content already generated on the internet by online interactions), which provides an alternative source of social research materials if researchers decide to go down that path."
