Well, it's 2008 at last! Now that Christmas is over, we hope everyone is up for a bumper year of art, culture and reflection.
This year Liverpool hosts Holocaust Memorial Day, the international day of remembrance of the victims of Holocaust and other genocides, on January 27th
As part of the remembrance programme, FACT are showing the 1997 film Bent by Martin Sherman.
Martin Sherman adapted his award winning play of the same name for the big screen version which stars Sir Ian McKellen, Clive Owen, Jude Law and Mick Jagger.
Bent tells the story of two homosexual lovers who were betrayed and find themselves in a Nazi concentration camp where we discover that being gay or lesbian was a virtual death sentence.
"With a strong cast and a passionate theatricality, Bent is simply not to be missed if you've never seen it before."
Martin Sherman, who also wrote Mrs Henderson Presents, will be at FACT to introduce the screening of the film as part of the Outsiders Film Festival to mark Holocaust Memorial Day followed by a Q&A.
The film has been rated [18]. Film starts at 8:00pm sharp and seats are unreserved. Turn up early if you want to sit with friends.
Luan and Vinny from culturepool will be in the FACT bar on the 1st floor from 7:30pm.
Access Information FACT includes lift access to all areas and infra-red assisted hearing systems in the cinemas and The Box. There is also a Loop system at Tickets & Information. Please advise staff when booking if you have requirements for which you might need assistance |
