Sound It Out + Q&A
Dir. Jeanie Finlay / 2011 / UK
Sound it Out had its European premiere at Doc/Fest 2011 and has gone on to achieve critical acclaim around the world. A distinctive, funny and intimate film about men, the North and the irreplaceable role music plays in our lives. Over the last five years an independent record shop has closed in the UK every three days. Sound It Out is a documentary portrait of the very last surviving vinyl record shop in Teesside, North East England, and we are very pleased to announce that director Jeanie Finlay will join for a Q&A after the screening.

Aung San Suu Kyi - Lady of No Fear
Dir. Anne Gyrithe Bonne / 2011 / Denmark
Lady of No Fear offers a close-up of the freedom fighting woman Aung San Suu Kyi and her husband, ‘her knight in shining armour’ Dr Michael Aris, who died on his 53rd birthday in 1999, still unable to see his wife. She comes across as charming, determined and stoical in her decision to fight for her country at the expense of her family. The focus is on the personal consequences of such powerful idealism and conviction that the current regime can be toppled by peaceful means. The film is a tribute to the woman at the heart of the rebellion, her steadfast husband and supporter, and not least to Gandhi's vision of non-violent civic resistance.
