ARTIST'S CHOICE SCREENING | INTRODUCED BY PETROC TRELAWNY.

Friday 25 February
Admission £11.50, including CAST Café supper from 6pm
Booking essential

Director, scriptwriter and feminist Jill Craigie was one of Britain’s earliest women documentary filmmakers. Her 1946 film The Way We Live documents post-war Plymouth and the responses of local people to the pioneering designs drawn up by town planner Sir Patrick Abercombie for the rebuilding the bombed-out city.

Craigie cleverly deploys a local cast in a film that combines classic documentary forms with the narratives of everyday family life, drawing out the complexities and importance of urban design.

The film has been selected by BBC Radio 3 presenter Petroc Trelawny, who will provide a brief introduction. Petroc grew up on the Lizard peninsula and attended Helston School. He is currently writing a personal memoir of Cornwall.
