“A last chapter, ‘Les Signes Parmi Nous‘ says that if one films a traffic jam in the streets of Paris and one knows how to see it, (not I alone, but Francois Jacob and I), one can discover a vaccine for AIDS. ‘The Signs Among Us‘ is a novel by Ramuz that I have always wanted to make: a peddler arrives in a small villagge above Vevey and announces the end of the world. There is a terrible storm which lasts five days, then the sun comes back and the peddler is thrown out of the village. the cinema is the peddler!” Jean-Luc Godard MORE DETAILS AND REST OF PROGRAMME:CLICK HERE /////////////////////////////////////////////// WEDNESDAY 30TH JUNE Bryony Kimmings: SEX IDIOT
This year, following her first STI test, Bryony discovered she had a very common sexual disease. Not one for looking back, she was faced with the arduous task of retracing her sexual footsteps. Based on Bryony's real life journey, this cabaret of confession is a glittering bloodbath of truths nestled somewhere between homemade-pop-song, ornithological-nature-trail and an ode to love lost. Featuring vignettes of song, spoken word, and dance, gaffer taped to some acts of danger, rough chat and a pubic hair moustache, this show will tickle, charm and downright-shock!
