DAVID MORGAN CINEMA
Our weekend begins right in the centre of Cardiff’s bustling shopping district – kicking off with our music video shortlist. Get ready for some serious networking as we crack out the rainbow coloured wristbands. Simply choose the colour that matches your current/desired role in the industry and you’re ready to mingle. Complimentary drinks and snacks will be available throughout the evening. This event takes place across two floors in a rather awesome empty shop unit on the Hayes – so expect to see something a little different.
In support of the BFI Uprising The Spirit Of ‘68 Season, we will be screening Lindsay Anderson’s ‘If….’ depicting an anarchic vision of British society set in a boarding school, starring Malcom McDowell in his first screen role. This film won the Palme d’Or at the 1969 Cannes Film Festival. The British Film Institute, Total Film and Time Out Magazine have polled ‘If….’ in their top 20 films of all time. When released this film received an X certificate – so be warned, it’s not going to be pretty.

FEATURE FILM 'BRITISH WINTERS'
WITH Q&A
SUNDAY 24TH 12.30PM – 3PM

Procrastinator Noel Winters may be surrounded by friends and family but he’s lonely, disenchanted and, frankly, lazy. Disillusioned with himself as much as the outside world, he draws inspiration from his younger adopted sister, Hannah, who becomes a beacon of hope in a world Noel finds increasingly challenging. Forced to confront his life and everyone in it, Noel finally makes a life-changing decision. But will it be the right one?
A debut film from writer/director Andrew Turner, ‘British Winters’ is the gripping story of one man’s struggle with life and his place in the world.
This screening is supported by Film Hub Wales.
