£6 Full price / £4 Students, under 18s, unwaged and 65+
Emidio Greco Italy 1974 110’ (cert. PG)Italian with English subtitles | 35mm transferred to digital video
A fever dream about images, memory and desire, Emidio Greco’s forgotten but masterful adaptation of Adolfo Bioy Casares’ novel 
The Invention of Morel
 screens in response to Rachel Lancaster and Laura Lancaster’s exhibition ‘Remember, Somewhere’.
A fugitive is washed up on a seemingly deserted rocky island. Out of nowhere, a group of tourists arrive, clad in 1920s high-society clothing, and though he fears being discovered, the fugitive begins to fall in love with one of them, a woman called Faustine (Anna Karina). She doesn’t seem to notice him — and it gradually becomes clear that something mysterious and powerful is keeping them apart.
What could be read as an abstract sci-fi or a story of unrequited love reveals itself as a profound treatise on the image, and a (prescient) appraisal of our wish to record and preserve memories.n
Doors open 18:30; Film starts 18:45. Baltic Kitchen is open until 18:30 for drinks, which you are welcome to take up to the cinema.
Please note we cannot offer refunds on this event.
