About this event
St Ives Arts Club brings you film delights taking you back to the swinging 60s!
60s themed night with fancy dress and themed drinks and music, plus showing of “Catch the Wind: St Ives in the 1960’s” on Tuesday 17th September.
Then 3 showings of the film with a Q&A with the director on Sunday 15th, Monday 23rd and Thursday 26th September in the afternoon.
“Catch the Wind: St Ives in the 1960s” is directed by award winning film maker Diana Taylor. The film gets it’s name from the famous musician Donovan who wrote his song Catch The Wind while staying in the town.
In the 1960s a number of artists, writers, musicians and poets gravitated towards St Ives because of its reputation as an artists colony.
Diana Taylor’s fascinating documentary covers the diverse cultures which existed then, often with tension between those who relied on local industries for their work and the those who came to mix with the beatniks who the locals thought did not contribute to the town financially.
There were also big political differences between the far left, the far right, liberals, communists and socialists.
With music and amusing anecdotes this is a real romp through the decade.
