Underwater Love (2011) 1hr30min

Christopher Doyle (In the Mood for Love, etc), shot everything in this movie - in which a Japanese factory worker reconnects with the ghost of her high school sweetheart, who has been reincarnated into a turtle-human hybrid - in one take! Tender, funny, mystical swamps and beautiful guitars, it's a classic of the erotic-musical-fantasy genre! 

 

Manchester, so much to answer for (2008) 18min

David Hoyle, everybody!!! We are dragged (literally) on the most hilarious, drunk, fabulous tour of Manchester's gay village, where drag performance artist David defends the importance of seediness and unseriousness in queer utopia through interviews, arguments and dancing on a pool table to Morrissey. Poignant pre-austerity Northern English culture on grainy tapes. 

 

There will be a VERY short introduction before both films! Come early to get yourself some LOCAL BEERS and NATURAL WINE.
