AMOLAD + Ian Christie in York
Ian Christie is giving a lecture on "Imagining Heaven" and
there will be a screening of AMOLAD at the
York City Screen.
It's a plenary session, starting at 5pm, as part of the conference
The Social Context of Death Dying and Disposal.
at York University. I'm in email contact with the organiser,
Dr Julie Rugg, and we'll try to sort out the details (places
available, if it's necessary to book, any costs etc)
I didn't manage to sort this out because of my burst appendix.
Ian Christie reports:
York went quite well, thanks. The cinema hadn't publicised
it, treating it like a private hire, so I had about 120
conferees from 'Death, Dying and Disposal' - a cheery lot,
it it transpired, who were mugh interested in imagining the
afterlife. The oddest thing was that about 100 had never
seen the film, and it was a fine screening, so they had a
real treat.

Visit to ACT location sites in Canterbury
That's the August Bank Holiday weekend. We always do them on the last Sunday in August
because that's the weekend when it was set. There's no need to book
or do anything special. Just turn up & make yourself known
to us.

Powell and Pressburger festival, Vancouver, Canada
Katie Yu reports:
Yay! The Pacific Cinematheque, an arthouse theatre, is having a
Powell and Pressburger festival from May 31st-June 23rd. They're
showing new 35mm prints of The Edge of the World, TRS, ToB, ACT,
Colonel Blimp, BN, IKWIG, AMOLAD, The Spy in Black, 49P, The Battle of
the River Plate, Ill Met by Moonlight, and Peeping Tom. (sorry, not
very good with the acronyms yet). That's 13 films they're showing
twice.
I was so annoyed when I missed it a few years ago that you can bet
I'll be there for all of them this time. I guess I won't be seeing
any daylight for the month of June :)
If anyone's interested and in the general vicinity of Vancouver,
Canada please join me!
Regards,
Katie
