UNCOVER THE LIVES OF 1000 LONDONERS
ALL NEW LONDONERS FOR 2025
1000 Londoners is excited to be producing all new content about life in London, and more London screenings for 2025. Digging ever deeper into the real London.
WHERE TO START WITH 1000 LONDONERS?
1000 short films about London and Londoners! How do you begin? Use the search to find what your looking for. Or if you’re not sure, our team have picked a few of our favourite short London documentaries from the project.:
The world’s greatest hoola-hooper builds a business in Hackney
Antonia is a high-end couture fashion designer who loves her pet pigs.
Ever wondered why a wing at Tate Modern is named after Natalie Bell?
John devoted a decade to keeping London’s brewing history alive.
WHY 1000 LONDONERS?
1000 Londoners is a collection of 1000 short documentaries about the people who live and work in London. Together, they paint a portrait of our diverse, exciting and ever-changing city.
Why did we choose 1000? Simple - that’s the sample that statisticians use when taking the pulse of a city like London.
SUGGEST A LONDONER
While we constantly research, and explore the whole of London to find Londoners, we love it when we encounter stories that we could never have imagined, or are connected with people whose stories have never been heard.
Many of the fascinating Londoners who have featured in our documentaries have come to us through recommendations. If you'd like to recommend someone you know, or even yourself, for the project - just make sure they see themselves as Londoners.
The documentary production team from Chocolate Films will consider all suggestions, and if we think they’d be great for the project (and not too similar to another Londoner who’s already been filmed), they’ll get in touch!
