Ciné-Real

Ciné-Real is the only film club in the UK to exclusively play films in 16mm format. The film night is run by Director Liam Saint-Pierre and Projectionist, Ümit Mesut, of Ümit & son.

Why 16mm? There's something about the feel of analog that you just don’t get with digital. It’s like the difference between sitting in front of an open fire compared to a radiator. They chose 16mm over 35mm as it was easier to get the prints. There are also lots on super 8mm, but they’re often abridged and come on 8 reels!

One morning, however, he awakes from a nightmare in which he sees himself as a living corpse. The dream remains with him as he journeys from Stockholm to Lund, and the events of the day force him to examine his life and contend with his memories.

Cine-Real x Contemporary Films presents: Festival!

This film may seem simply the record of several dozen singers and groups in performance at Newport - there is generous footage of many favourites of the era - but what emerges through the songs and off-stage interviews is far more searching and significant than the format would imply. We hear the voices of young Americans affirming their hopes for peace and brotherhood and their hatred of war and injustice. Captured by Lerner with remarkable immediacy, it offers a compelling charge through a phenomenal musical roster, including Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Peter, Paul and Mary, Odetta, Pete Seeger, Mississippi John Hurt, Judy Collins, Johnny Cash and many others.
