SUMMARY:UK Premiere of the Documentary film "Theocracy - The Emigrants Artist"
DESCRIPTION:Kiln Cinema is proud to host the UK premiere of the documentary\, Theocracy - The Emigrant's Artist\, followed by a Q&A with its subject Bernard Canavan and Director Sé Merry Doyle. \n\nTheocracy - The Emigrant's Artist explores the life and work of the London-based Irish artist Bernard Canavan\, known as 'The Emigrant's Artist' for his powerful and evocative depictions of the Irish diaspora\, based on his own experience as an Irish Navvy in the 1950's.\n\nHowever\, this film tells another tale\, Bernard's own personal story: how he was abandoned in 1944 and placed in Saint Patrick's Guild\, later to become known as 'The House of Shame'\, a place which was part of Ireland's hidden history of institutional abuse. \nNow in his 80's\, Bernard addresses his own personal story - in his new suite of paintings entitled 'Theocracy'. In this film these new paintings  will be unveiled.\n\nTheocracy - The Emigrant's Artist speaks volumes for the power of art to offer testimony to subjects many would rather turn away from. \n \nSé Merry Doyle is an award-winning Irish documentary filmmaker. Some of his previous award-wining films include Patrick Kavanagh: No Man's Fool\, John Ford: Dreaming the Quiet Man.\n\nhttps://www.townspot.co/event/uk-premiere-of-the-documentary-film-theocracy-the-emigrants-artist-bddcbe43-3717-465b-93db-f4919608b5e1

SUMMARY:The Long Play Sessions : Simon Reynolds - Still in a Dream with Rudy Tambala
DESCRIPTION:Join us at The Long Play Sessions for an immersive and intellectually charged evening with acclaimed music critic and cultural historian Simon Reynolds\, as he discusses 'Still in a Dream: Shoegaze\, Slackers and the Reinvention of Rock\, 1984-1994'.\n\nIn Still in a Dream\, Reynolds picks up where Rip It Up and Start Again left off\, tracing the underground explosion that followed post‑punk: the rise of shoegaze\, noisepop\, slacker rock and grunge. Drawing on his first hand experience as a journalist embedded in the scene\, Reynolds captures a moment when guitar music turned inward and expansive at the same time - when distortion\, volume and texture became vehicles for emotion\, alienation and altered states.\n\nhttps://www.townspot.co/event/the-long-play-sessions-simon-reynolds-still-in-a-dream-with-rudy-tambala-3c08ac59-7bed-422e-9049-52ff892b57d1
