WEDNESDAY 14 MARCH 2012
Our film programme continued to provide an introduction to slowness and cinema from across the world.
Tonight Pedro Costa’s seminal film Colossal Youth played at Star and Shadow Cinema. Hailed as the Beckett of cinema, Costa has produced a staggering trilogy observing the demolition of the Fountainhas housing complex in Lisbon. This intimate epic is rarely seen and undistributed. With our film loyalty card you could watch 4 films and the 5th was FREE.
All of our Exhibitions were open today.
In Sunderland, NGCA opened late this evening until 7.30pm.
Radio Boredcast was online 24-hours today, see the daily schedule below for 14 March 2012.
