More Screenings at Lucem House

Over the past few weeks we hosted 3 screenings of our film ‘Another Country’ created as part of this project, looking at the creative period 1982-1995 and what enabled it to happen.

All the screenings were virtually sold out and there were lively discussions after each screenings often leading towards what needs to be in place for this creative period to happen again.

It was also a really good way for people to make connections, either old friends and colleagues or ones for new possibilities. It reminds me of the power of cinema – these connections would be unlikely to happen if we had just put the film on the internet. We’re planning more public outings of the film for next year.
