ERASE AND FORGET + Q&A with director Andrea Zimmerman & author David Neiwert at Genesis Cinema (18:45):

ERASE AND FORGET is an investigative documentary which charts the extraordinary life and times of Bo Gritz, one of America’s highest decorated veterans and the ‘inspiration’ for Rambo and Brando’s Colonel Kurtz. Director Andrea Zimmerman will be in discussion with David Neiwert, expert in American right-wing extremism and author of Alt-America: The Rise of the Radical Right (Verso).

SCREAM FOR ME SARAJEVO + RECORDED Q&A at Stratford Picturehouse (17 APR 20:15 – other Picturehouses available):

Sarajevo in 1994 was a city under siege. Mortars and grenades rained down on the city, killing indiscriminately every day. Amongst the madness, would it be possible to persuade a global rock star to come and play a show for local fans? The film will be followed by a recorded Q&A with Bruce Dickinson.

SOSHANA: EVERYWHERE ALONE + INTRO at Austrian Cultural Forum (17 APR 19:00):

In 1938 at the age of 11, the painter Soshana fled her native Vienna together with her family to escape National Socialism. They travelled first to Switzerland and then onto London and the US. The trauma of the war and her restless childhood had an immense impact on her life and artistic output. Dr Martina Pippal from the University of Vienna will introduce the film.
