3 - 29 July 2017: Close-Up on John Cassavetes
To mark the second anniversary of our cinema we revisit our opening programme, presenting six films by John Cassavetes on 35mm. Often hailed as the father of American independent film, John Cassavetes's maverick approach to filmmaking captured some of the most honest and genuinely moving portrayals of human emotion ever committed to film.
3 - 24 September 2017: Close-Up on Ruth Beckermann
Close-Up presents the first UK retrospective on the films of Ruth Beckermann. Born in Vienna in 1952, Beckermann has been creating essay films and documentaries for 40 years and is well known internationally as one of Austria’s most courageous and spirited filmmakers. This programme explores the work of a director equally suspicious of closed narrative forms and linear views of history and memory.
