FEATURE FILM - OLD JOY (Soda Pictures) Stars Will Oldham.) Or Half Moon by Bahman Ghobadi. - Emailed Bahman Ghobadi. Film isnt scheduled for release in UK yet.
Also checked out The Lives of Others, which doesnt look like it is coming to the Tyneside yet - emailed Lionsgate to ask them if we could show it. It was nominated for best foreign film at the oscars and has had really good reviews.
Pink Flamingos is showing at ICA at the moment... Eraserhead at Hyde Park CInema in Leeds. We could add a Jarmusch to that and Paris Texas and have us an 80's Indie season.

Wed 27th - Wholphin short films: Year 1 selections. (sarah cook). Free (by requirement of the film distributors). text for brochure follows: What, you may ask, is a Wholphin?! Photographic evidence can be found languishing in the nooks and crannies of the internet, but those too busy to visit Google for the 28th time today can trust us that it's the lovechild of a bottlenose dolphin and a false killer whale. A beautiful hybrid born of invention and exploration. Wholphin is also a quarterly DVD magazine from the publishers McSweeney's, lovingly encoded with unique and ponderable films designed to make you feel the way we felt when we learned that dolphins and whales sometimes, you know, do it. For tonight's screening, Sarah Cook has picked her favourites from the first year's worth of issues, including artists such as Miranda July, Scott Prendergast, Jeroen Offerman, Steven Soderberg, and Dennis Hopper, and Iranian animation, instructional films, documentaries and the like. Free!
