Blus Summer + Vertical Features Remake |
Cube members! | 'Blue Summer' / 1998 / UK / An exclusive Bristol Premiere of John Sargeant's Blue Summer, a starting found-footage feature exploring urban alienation and millennial tremors as they encraoch on the fractured psyche of the film's mysterious narrator. Countinuing the tradition of experimentating with documentary technique to fuse fact and fiction started by Chris Marker and Bruce Connor, Blue Summer is one of the most innovative and independent debuts to have emerged from Britain in recent years. WE are pleased to announce that the director John Sargeant will be present to introduce and take questions after the screenings. 'Vertical Features Remake' / 1978 / UK / 16 mm / A brilliant early short by film-maker extraordinaire Peter Greenaway, one of the several fictional documentaries he collaborated on with musician Michael Nyman. A study of the English landscape by a sinister governmental departement. |
