Event: Finisterre 10th Anniversary Screening, 4th April, Hackney Picture House

Image

‘We are delighted to launch a brand-new monthly night of much-loved and rarely screened gems, presented by Heavenly Films.

The opening programme celebrates the tenth anniversary of Paul Kelly and Kieran Evans’ FINISTERRE, which premiered at the onedotzero festival in April 2003. Conceived with and scored by Saint Etienne, this hour-long documentary about a day in the life of London has gone on to become a cult classic, but is rarely screened in the city it chronicles.

The screening will be preceded by a Q&A with all three members of Saint Etienne (Bob Stanley, Pete Wiggs and Sarah Cracknell). A second Q&A with both directors, hosted by Travis Elborough, will follow the film. The evening kicks off with four shorts by Paul Kelly, including the premiere of BANKSY IN LONDON, a three-minute snapshot of the artist’s early work. The night concludes with a Saint Etienne DJ set in the upstairs bar until midnight.’
