Three Swings on a Pendulum

Director

Michael Gill

Year

1967

This documentary asks whether London really was 'swinging' during the 1960s. The film follows arts reporter Robert Hughes, writer Lewis Nkosi and journalist Olivier Todd to gather an Australian, African and French perspective on whether London really deserved its reputation as being a 'swinging, switched on' city. They begin their journey in Carnaby Street, the Mecca of swinging London.
