One whole night
Dir: Chantal Akerman 1982
90 mins 35mm Colour Rated M15+
French with English subtitles
Longing, meeting, parting and escaping – a
sultry night in the city is witness to many dramatic moments. Akerman’s
experimental feature presents us with a series of apparently unconnected
fragments from the lives of fifty couples which take place during
one, long Brussels night.

Taxi driver
Dir: Martin Scorsese 1976
113 mins 35mm Colour Rated R
Robert De Niro, Harvey Keitel, Jodie Foster
An alienated Vietnam-era veteran is thrust into the
night time urban sprawl of New York City when he takes a job as
a taxi driver who will go anywhere, anytime. Scorsese’s masterpiece
is an examination of the gritty, casual violence of the everyday.

I vitelloni
Dir: Federico Fellini 1953
104 mins 35mm B&W Rated PG
Franco Interlenghi, Alberto Sordi
Italian with English subtitles
Follows the lives of five discontented and restless
young men in a small, town on the Adriatic. Regarded as layabouts,
they exist in a world of dreams, fantasies, childish jokes and,
for the most part, bored inactivity. Gradually each experiences
a confrontation with reality, but only one of them chooses to do
anything about his situation.
