Join your host Maura McAndrew for a screening of the 1998 Todd Haynes cult classic Velvet Goldmine.
Velvet Goldmine is an ode to the Glam Rock era. It follows a journalist (Christian Bale) as he investigates the mysterious and reclusive former superstar Brian Slade (Jonathan Rhys Myers).
From Stephen Dalton for the British Film Institute: “A glam rock concept album in film form… Velvet Goldmine will never be a definitive final statement about Bowie or glam rock generally. But it still stands up as gloriously ambitious response to both, a dazzling tapestry of lies that reveals a deeper truth. It remains a kaleidoscopic cult classic, a gateway drug to a liberating polysexual wonderland of the imagination, a crash course for the ravers.”
Screening starts at 7:00 | 100% free | BYO food an beverage if you like
