Sky Arte HD presents Swinging London documentary double bill

On Friday 16 December, Sky Arte HD airs a special Swinging London programming block. The evening opens with 'Blow up of Blow up', a documentary exploring Michelangelo Antonioni's 1966 film 'Blow-Up', which captured London's vibrant atmosphere and experimental cinema. The second documentary, 'Twiggy – The Face of the 60s', profiles Lesley Hornby (Twiggy), the teenage model from London suburbs who popularised the miniskirt and embodied 1960s emancipation. The documentary features interviews with Twiggy and other cultural revolutionaries including Mary Quant, Vivienne Westwood, Vidal Sassoon, and Melvin Sokolsky.
