The screen actor, director and playwright unveiled his evocative black-and-white pictures at Middlesex University last Thursday when he spoke to students about his life and career.
Lecturer Kathleen Mullaniff said: “The photographs give us a fascinating insight into the 1960s and 70s, showing how people worked and lived in the East End.”
The black and white ‘social documentary’ snaps taken more than 40 years ago capture everyday life of ordinary people, shops and streets in what was largely a Jewish area.
Berkoff, who was born in Stepney in 1937, the son of a Russian-Jewish tailor, is best known for his performances in villainous roles in ‘Rambo’, James Bond’s ‘Octopussy’, ‘Beverly Hills Cop’ and ‘A Clockwork Orange’.
He starred more recently in ‘Girl with a Dragon Tattoo’ and played opposite Johnny Depp in ‘The Tourist’.
His exhibition runs until April 26 at Middlesex Uni’s Hendon campus before going on tour, arriving in the East End itself in June where it is being staged at Brick Lane’s Old Truman Brewery in partnership with the Cass East End Archive, London Met University and the Lucy Bell Gallery.
