Kino special:
Finding Camille + Q&A, 92 mins Sunday and Monday April 22 and 23 at 8pm. In English and Italian with subtitles
Director Bindu de Stoppani will host the showing of this film with Q&As. The witty comedy-drama is Bindu’s second feature, first screened at the 12th Rome Film Fest and continuing to show at festivals all round the world. Bindu is an accomplished actress, writer and director and has set up her own theatre and film companies.
When dutiful and loyal Camille decides to go on a road trip down memory lane with her Alzheimer’s suffering father, she must learn to let her father go or risk losing her own chance at a life and happiness. Finding Camille is the moving and at times heart-breakingly humorous story of a father and daughter on a journey to get to know each other and of the opportunities that occur in life to live for the moment.
Royal Ballet Live:
Manon (2018), Thursday May 3 at 7:15pm. Approximately 155 mins including an interval.
Kenneth MacMillan’s source for Manon was the 18th-century French novel, where he found new sympathy with the capricious Manon and her struggle to escape poverty. But it is Manon and Des Grieux’s impassioned pas de deux – recalling the intensity of MacMillan’s earlier Romeo and Juliet – that drive this tragic story, and make Manon one of MacMillan’s most powerful dramas. Starring Sarah Lamb, Vadim Muntagirov, Ryoichi Hirano, Itziar Mendizabal and Gary Avis.
National Theatre Live:
Macbeth, Thursday May 10 at 7pm
The ruined aftermath of a bloody civil war. Ruthlessly fighting to survive, the Macbeths are propelled towards the crown by forces of elemental darkness.
