COMPETITION: Fade to Grey (at Curzon Soho)
18:30 Thu 17 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 Rich Mix, 6.30pm, 16th Jan
