The Lorenza Mazzetti Collection

She would go on to co-found the Free Cinema documentary film movement in the mid-1950s. The following short films directed by Mazetti are featured: 'The Country Doctor' (1953), which is based on the writings of Franz Kafka and was thought lost until 2019; 'K' (1954), an adaptation of Kafka's novella 'The Metamorphosis' which explores the theme of alienation; 'Together' (1956), which follows two deaf and mute dock workers in London's East End.
