Pina Bausch Film Series
And the Ship Sails On
Saturday 6 March, 11am and 2pm | Free, no bookings required.
In And the Ship Sails On, famous choreographer and dancer Pina Bausch plays one of a number of passengers on a luxury liner shortly before the beginning of World War I.

From its bravura opening sequence, in which sepia-tinted silent movie footage slowly acquires colour and sound, the film is a fantastical, unpredictable tour de force — “a bold testament to the artifice of studio-made movies ... a succession of mostly comic commentaries on art and artists, whose self-absorption Mr Fellini finds both wickedly funny and very moving” -The New York Times.

DIR. Federico Fellini| Italy | 1983
