Series 2 // The Subversive and Censored Cinema of Eastern Europe

Dear All,

Thank you to everyone who made it to our first series 'Gender and Differentiation.'

Our second themed four weeks is running under the title 'The Subversive and Censored Cinema of Eastern Europe.' Under this theme we hope to explore the very serious issue of how the moving image can be considered such an extreme form of artistic anarchy; and as a result, the films we are showing have been considered either too political to be shown or have created a grave question-mark over the integrity of their films. These issues have often concluding in the film-maker not being able to work in his or her own country. Due to the nature of these films and the fairly-recent lifting of their ban it is with great shame that they still have not been widely distributed. We believe that the quality of these films, due to both the highly political atmosphere in which they were made, combined with being spawned during the experimental 60's - 70's new-wave-film era, have produced some of the most engaging, exciting and captivating works.

This series is truly not one to be missed, and we hope to see you there!
