SHOWstudio: Put Out the Lights and Call the Law: Omer Asim / Jez Tozer

Jez Tozer's film celebrates Omer Asim's A/W 14 collection and features a performance by The Johnny McCullough Orchestra. The piece nods to the swing era's buoyant, defiant reaction to the economic disaster of the Great Depression. It features Kinee Diouf as Cynthia, a usually austere woman going through a private moment of release while remembering childhood trips to New York and Harlem parties where she saw Frankie Manning and first heard the phrase 'Put out the lights and call the law' as she peered through the bedroom door as the grown-ups danced in the living room.
