But - and it's a big but - this isn't your usual Gregg Araki film. There's nothing dark or disturbing about it. In fact, it's just a wonderful, likeable comedy about an actress (Anna Faris) in LA trying to get her shit together on a very important day - and realising that the cakes she's just eaten were choc full of dope... 8.30PM - FACT, 88 Wood Street, Liverpool - location map Wed 1 October to Fri 31 October - The Annual Outsiders FACT Membership Special Offer... Most of the Outsiders screenings take place at FACT in Liverpool, where the usual ticket prices apply (£6.70/£4.70 Members). But – and it’s a big but - if you wear your Outsiders badge with Pride in October you can get a year’s membership of FACT for the concession rate of just £22 (£5 off). FACT membership entitles you to 3 free tickets immediately (worth £20.10), £2 off full price tickets for a whole year (so you pay £4.70 rather than £6.70 to see the movies), invites to free members-only screenings, no online booking fee and the new cinema brochure mailed to your home as soon as it becomes available.

Archive footage of the city is hauntingly combined with a rich music soundtrack and with voice-over narration by Davies himself. The result is a powerful evocation of the director’s youth in post-war Liverpool and a reflection on how the city has changed over the years. Davies is regarded by many as Britain’s greatest living director, and this intensely moving meditation on time, memory and mortality bears that out. This screening will be attended by Terence Davies. 8.00pm - LIVERPOOL PHILHARMONIC HALL - location map |
