THU 19 // TODAY’S GRIND SHOWS

RADIANT CIRCUS SCREEN GUIDE DAILY UPDATE - Films in London today: A GENTLE CREATURE at ICA (19 APR). — A GENTLE CREATURE at ICA (19 APR).

A GENTLE CREATURE at ICA (19 APR 13:40):

Inspired by Fyodor Dostoevsky’s short story, director Sergei Loznitsa takes us into a lawless Russia where crime is often unpunished. After receiving a parcel sent to her incarcerated husband marked ‘return to sender,’ an unnamed woman decides to travel to Siberia in search of answers.

WESTERN at ArtHouse Crouch End (19 APR 12:20):

A thriller on the frontier of Eastern Europe follows a group of German construction workers who have travelled to a remote site in the Bulgarian countryside for work. The foreign land awakens the men’s sense of adventure, but they are also confronted with their own prejudice and mistrust due to the language barrier and cultural differences.

WINNIE at Bertha DocHouse (19 APR 18:30):

Winnie Mandela is one of the most misunderstood and intriguingly powerful contemporary female political figures. As her husband Nelson Mandela served out his sentence in prison, Winnie took centre stage before the world as the face of the African National Congress. She became an icon for an adoring but fickle public that first cast her as the Mother of the Nation, and then cast her down as a sinner.
