stop the war! – Illustrated Talk
Thursday 26 July
5.20 – 6.20pm
How do you make an anti-war film? What kind of message works best in steering us away from conflict? How can we make people think without having to shock them with violence? This illustrated talk will explore how different filmmakers have approached these questions. It will lead into an introduction to the work of Nadine Labaki, whose popular new film Where Do We Go Now? cleverly uses music, fantasy and laughter to offer a unique solution.
£8.50; £7 concessions. Includes screening of Where Do We Go Now? Tutor: Roy Stafford
