Red Dawn (15)
4 August 2009
Cinema
As part of the artistic programme at DCA, we enjoy asking the artists exhibiting in the gallery what films they would like to have screened in our cinema to coincide with their exhibition. The selections are sometimes surprising but also consistently illuminating of their practice. During the summer this is reflected with a particularly diverse array of films . . . reflecting three distinct exhibitions and fifteen artists on show.
Also chosen by artist collective GANGHUT, Red Dawn is perhaps the ultimate gang movie – teenagers form an unlikely resistance to a Soviet Union invasion of America. The film is a classic of the Ronald Reagan era from the director of Big Wednesday and Conan The Barbarian. Cast includes Patrick Swayze, Charlie Sheen, Jennifer Grey and Harry Dean Stanton.
