After Time
2023, 34 mins












Throughout June 2022 The Lock-In, Stanley Schtinter’s 96 hour edit of all the scenes shot inside BBC soap opera EastEnders’ Queen Vic pub (1985-1995), played on the television  screens of ten ‘real’ pubs across London’s East End. Filmed only on the occasion of these screenings, After Time documents the people and pubs that survive - and thrive - in East London today.
