Featuring music by Philip Glass, and drawing its title from a Hopi word meaning "life out of balance," this renowned montage of slo-mo, and time-lapse visuals of natural and urban environments was one of the highest-grossing docs of the '80s.
Brutalist art show at the cinema
As part of the season we are pleased to be exhibiting artworks by Giles Robertson aka Bleach Skull Picnic, a photographer and print maker living and working in Hastings who transforms buildings, engineering structures, and landscapes into striking, technicolour artworks.
Giles specialises in architectural and geometric subjects and has created art based on iconic Brutalist buildings, including the Barbican, Centrepoint, and even St Leonards' Marine Court.
Catch the show before all our public screenings from Thursday 5 June to Sunday 29 June.
