My Left Foot is the story of Irish writer and painter Christy Brown. Born with severe cerebral palsy, Brown learned to write and paint using only the toes on his left foot. Based on Brown’s autobiography of the same name, this brutally honest film, which does not shy away from the ableist views of the time, has left a lasting legacy as one of the most accurate representations of people with cerebral palsy on screen. This is a truly unique…
This is not a documentary in the traditional sense. This is a dream, a cinematic colourful free form spectacle showing Bowie in all their beautiful technicolour. This atypical depiction goes beyond the talking head interviews, archival footage and concert performance documentaries. Instead they are interwoven with CGI to incredible effect to create Bowie’s voice directed at you the audience, his fans. Like his music his tone is searching, our in the universe and in himself. Soaking your senses, exploding in your vision, poured into your ears, this film was made to be seen on the big screen.
An inspiring but sorrowful story, Emily follows the journey of a young Emily Bronte, played by Emma Mackay, through life’s fragility, family ties and the burning losses of unrequited love.
We have chosen this female-led film written & directed by Frances O’Connor, as part of our weekend takeover: Rebel Rebel Artists, because Emily is the catalyst for truth in her own life, and for those around her. A beautiful representation of the power of “freedom in thought” and voice through writing. Aimed at young women and women of all ages, parents and daughters, sisters, and budding writers.

If Amy wasn’t a real person I think this movie would be getting a lot more accolades for being a well crafted complex character study but because she is real people bring outside factors into the film (this wasn’t included, they changed this)
