If the avant garde is your cup of fish you won‘t want to miss these late night and
matinee screenings of Matthew Cremaster Cycle Barney’s new film. This time out Barney casts his peculiar experimental gaze on the land of the rising sun and the Shinto religion in particular with the help of (among others) Bjork. On Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 November the film will be shown in a double bill with No Restraint, a documentary about the
making of the film.
