The Work of Terence Davies
Sunday 24th July, 4-5pm, The Wintergarden, Free
Arguably the most important British filmmaker of his generation, Terence Davies is a poet of the cinema, at once austere and passionate… Their combination of art-film style and reverence for working-class popular culture is unique in British cinema. – Film Critic and writer Tom Charity
Script to Screen and the New Zealand International Film Festival present a discussion with one of cinema’s most beloved auteurs, British writer/director Terence Davies.
Davies is here to present two films at this year’s festival. A Quiet Passion, Davies’ portrait of 19th century poet Emily Dickinson, stars Cynthia Nixon and was described as ‘an absolute drop-dead masterwork’ by the New Yorker; and Sunset Song, his ‘ beautiful and brutal’ adaptation of Lewis Grassic Gibbon’s novel of the same name, stars Peter Mullan and Agyness Deyn.
Join us to hear director Terence Davies in conversation with writer Fiona Samuel, as they discuss his approach to cinema and his life’s work. The discussion takes place in the Wintergarden, following the Sunday screening of A Quiet Passion.
Sunday 24th July, 4-5pm, The Wintergarden, Free entry – no ticket required
