Focus on Ken Loach
Ken Loach's treatment of key social issues – often unspoken at the time – cut through to film audiences to such a degree that he’s credited with propelling public discourse on homelessness, public housing, mental illness and abortion rights in the UK. So influential were his television plays that they were discussed on the floor of parliament.
Today, many of the social issues Ken Loach's films have shone a spotlight on are as relevant as ever. Public housing, housing affordability, the gig economy, reproductive rights and mental health care are all issues that define our time.
ACMI celebrates the career of Ken Loach with a retrospective of films including Kes, The Wind That Shakes the Barley and I, Daniel Blake.
