FILMS IN LONDON TODAY
SINGLE-O EXHIBITS
ARCADIA at Rich Mix (21 JUN 21:00):
- Scouring 100 years of archive footage, much of it drawn from the BFI National Archive, BAFTA®-winner Paul Wright constructed an exhilarating study of the British people’s shifting – and contradictory – relationship to the land. ARCADIA is a compelling folk horror/archive film with a new score by members of Portishead and Goldfrapp.
- Screening + Q&A at BFI is Sold Out!
THE SORROW AND THE PITY – PART 2: THE CHOICE at Phoenix Cinema (21 JUN 10:30):
- Marcel Ophuls’ four-and-a-half hour portrait of the French town of Clermont-Ferrand under German occupation from 1940-44 is one of the greatest documentaries ever made, as important as Claude Lanzmann’s SHOAH in its value not just as a film but as an essential historical record in its own right.
WINNIE + NETWORKING/PANEL at Regent Street Cinema (21 JUN 19:30):
- Kush Films in association with Blaksox presents WINNIE as part of its Educate & Empower series. Hosted by GEEDA they join forces to bring the multi-award winning and controversial documentary film to UK audiences with a special young women’s leadership focus.
