Ghost Stories For Christmas
15 December
Introduced by Frank Gray, early film historian and now retired director of Screen Archive South East
Broadcast in the dying hours of Christmas Eve, the BBC’s A Ghost Story for Christmas series was a fixture of the seasonal schedules throughout the 1970s and spawned a long tradition of chilling tales, which terrified yuletide viewers for decades to come.
Cinelogue will be screening two of the best instalments of this classic series: A Warning To The Curious (1972) and The Signalman (1976).
Is There Anybody Out There? – with filmmaker Q&A
16 December
Groundbreaking documentary, Is There Anybody Out There?, follows filmmaker Ella Glendining’s global search for someone with a body that looks like hers, and explores what it takes to love yourself fiercely as a disabled person in an ableist world.
We’re very excited to announce that Ella and cinematographer Annemarie Lean-Vercoe will join us for a question and answer session following this screening.
