SPOTLIGHT SPECIAL
We have yet another talented local artist putting his work out there for you to enjoy Luca Corda is both a talented artist and musician (GROVES and LOCEAN) will be screening his first film A SLOW JOY an experimental film of his travels through Spain and France at the alternative venue of FONT as part of the Cultivate spotlight specials. Kick off first with John Cassavetes OPENING NIGHT an intelligent examination of fame, immortality and the fading star. Cultivate will be doing two to three detour events in alternate venues during the year, with cocktails and cake to celebrate home grown talent. There will be vegan alternatives too.
This Sundays double bill is a JOHN CASSAVETES special. First up SHADOWS a film I was originally going to show during black history month but couldn't fit into the program, his directorial debut became one of the most important and influential films of its time and went on to influence a generation of filmmakers working within the realms of neorealism. This story of an African-American family in fifties America where the colour of your skin within your immediate family was changed how you where viewed inside and outside the of the family unit. Not just looking at racial problem but the human condition as a whole. Followed by FACES an exploration into the disintegration of a relationship and a glimpse into the world of the swingers culture, a very middle class pass time. Two must see films with the usual free popcorn and rum.
A WOMAN UNDER THE INFLUENCE Directed by JOHN CASSAVETES
