UK PREMIERE
Pin de Fartie + Q&A

A playful spin on theatrical adaptation, Alejo Moguillansky's latest film is a delightfully imaginative take on Samuel Beckett's Fin de Partie, punctuated by music, tennis, and another exceptional turn by Laura Paredes.

Live

GHOSTWOMAN + Desert Liminal

There is no reason for GHOSTWOMAN’s fourth album to exist. Welcome to the Civilized World is born to a broken world; a corrupt inheritance – Evan Uschenko and Ille van Dessel are under no illusions about its futility – and yet, this thing is alive. It’s an allergic reaction to the times we are living in. Support from Desert Liminal.

Films

Willem Defoe plays Ed Saxberger, a forgotten New York poet, who is sought out by a coterie of twentysomething admirers who anoint him as a rediscovered genius. Kent Jones's thoughtful, witty film is a wistful yet unromantic look at a lost idea of downtown New York.
