Key highlights this November include two documentaries from Paul Joyce – Hockney On Photography and Other Matters, in which the celebrated and innovative artist David Hockney, considered one of the most influential British artists of the 20th century, talks about his 40-year love affair with photography; and Growing Up With John Waters, where the self-proclaimed ‘Pope of Trash’ and king of US Independent Cinema (director of the likes of Female Trouble, Pink Flamingos, Polyester and Hairspray) discusses his traumatic childhood in Baltimore and the films which came out of these experiences.
Also showing in November, Kamikaze Girl, starring Kyoko Fukada (The Ring 2, Dolls) and Anna Tsuchiya (Dororo and Sakuran) as two misfits who form a unique and riotous friendship. Born from the pages of favourite cult author Novala Takemoto, Kamikaze Girls is a frenetic roller-coaster ride brimming with day-glo visuals and wild hilarity that you will never forget!
