Free Film Screening – and director’s Q&A ‘Utopia London’

Our September gathering is an exciting event brought to you jointly by the msa and mms. It’s going to be brilliant!

Do join us for a very special screening of ‘Utopia London’, director Tom Cordell’s journey in film through the city he grew up in, meeting the architects who designed it, and reuniting them with the buildings they created. Premiering last winter, Utopia London has been screening around the world …to much critical acclaim. We are thrilled to be bringing it to Manchester.

This is a free screening. All welcome!

We are particularly delighted to be welcoming director Tom Cordell to the screening, who will introduce his film and lead a post screening q&a session. Tom grew up in London in the 80’s & 90’s, and says,
‘I’ve always been drawn to the excitement of its post-war landscape; concrete and brick textures, unadorned clean lines, neon glow and dark shadows. And most Londoners my age that I know feel the same – the modernist city is our landscape.’

Utopia London takes place next Thursday 22 September,
at the University Place Theatre A, the University of Manchester, Oxford Road (directly opposite Manchester Museum) from 18.00-20.00pm.
