Finisterre (TBC)
30 September 2010
Cinema
Chosen by Sara MacKillop, Paul Kelly and Kieran Evans' Finisterre tries to identify the dreams that London holds for so many, and the reality of the city – the spaces between the landmarks and, the spaces Londoners inhabit. London has always been a source of influence, inspiration and curiosity. Presented and scored by Saint Etienne, the film takes us on a journey from the suburbs into the heart of the city over an imaginary 24 hours. Along the way we hear from characters that have influenced or been a part of the Saint Etienne story. Finisterre features the observations and reminiscences of Lawrence from Felt/Denim; Mark Perry, the editor of original punk fanzine Sniffin' Glue; as well as Vic Godard from Subway Sect; and artist Julian Opie: folk singer Vashti Bunyan; Londoncentric author Shena Mackay; and Nick Sanderson from Earl Brutus. Through the interviews and imagery we see London from an insider's perspective. The result is a hymn to London, and an extraordinary record of the city today.
This screening is offered for FREE. Tickets available at the box office.
