The Plague
Set against a backdrop of London estate blocks, police wagons and spray
paint graffiti, The Plague follows one weekend in the lives of four friends as they go about their routine, visiting mates,
smoking, drinking, freestyling, chasing girls and getting into trouble. Made on a tiny budget, 23-year-old writer and director
Greg Hall injects each scene of the film with wit, imagination and resourcefulness. Winner of the inaugural Katrin Cartlidge
Foundation prize at the 10th Sarajevo Film Festival this year, the film was described by presenter Mike Leigh as "serious,
funny, real, surreal and totally anarchic".
