NEW SEASON: DRIFTING SHADOWS at Close-Up (18 to 30 JAN 2019)

Part of the great joy of putting our listings together at RADIANT CIRCUS is discovering cinema we know very little about, and that pretty much includes everything in this amazing new selection at Close-Up… DRIFTING SHADOWS: MASTERPIECES OF FINNISH CINEMA (18 to 30 JAN) is a collaboration with the Finnish Institute in London and features an opening talk and 17 shorts and features across 15 screenings.

Everything starts tonight with Finland’s Enchanted Cinema an illustrated talk from film historian and programmer of Finnish Film Archive, Antti Alanen, who will “shed light on one of the most overlooked Nordic national cinemas” (18 JAN 18:00, Birkbeck Cinema – Free!).
