Hi All,
Up The Junction returns to Whirled Cinema on Monday 9th July.
UP THE JUNCTION STEPS BACK IN TIME
Up The Junction, South London's premier film & literary salon, steps back in time. Suzanne Joinson will launch her eagerly awaited debut novel, "A Lady Cyclist’s Guide to Kashgar", which twists the modern experience of asylum and dislocation into an early twentieth century story of missionaries, faith – or the lack of it, and hidden desire. Sarah Quigley, briefly in London from Berlin, will be reading from "The Conductor", her very human story of the Leningrad Siege, Shostakovich’s seventh symphony, and Karl Eliasberg, the conductor who brought the piece to the world in the famous broadcast of 1942. And Up the Junction’s regular host Stella Duffy launches her novel "The Purple Shroud" - a sequel to Theodora, in which the the sixth century Empress of Rome now faces economic collapse, power-struggles, impossible wars in the mountains of Persia, and riots in the streets of Constantinople.
Alongside these three novelists, Up The Junction will screen the Clapham Film Unit's extraordinary "If Walls Can Speak" - a documentary about Brixton's rare and at risk murals which were largely created by artists in collaboration with local residents in the 1980s and "Pourquoi" - a hilarious parody by film makers Magic If.
Doors open at 7.30pm £5/ £3 concessions.
