Trojan Horse/Rainbow Flag (2019)

An art film about the campaign to save the Joiners Arms, the iconic queer pub in East London. Working directly with members of ‘Friends of the Joiner’s Arms’ and queer actors based in East London, Giles employed participatory workshops and verbatim theatre as structures to produce a discursive social network and the resulting film. The film mixes transcribed scripted dialogue with interjections and commentary from the group.
