COMPETITION: Fade To Grey (at Rich Mix)
18:30 Tue 15 Jan 2019
Bright lights sadly fade, whether it be selfhood eroded in the face of daily racist abuse or Blackpool looking to a future of collective anxieties and Brexit parochialism. This programme looks to memory, nostalgia and that fading of something special in a world that makes forgetting all too easy. Featuring cult hit doc Black Sheep. 95’
LSFF UK Competition: Fade to Grey also screens at Curzon Soho, 6.30pm, 17th Jan
