Scene from Breakfast At Tiffany’s
LOVE is in the air everywhere you look around the North of Ireland as BFI LOVE in partnership with Plusnet presents a series of big screen experiences to woo cinema audiences this autumn.
Featuring films to fall in love with and films to break your heart, the BFI LOVE blockbuster season will truly be an affair to remember, running from October to December, through Film Hub NI’s network of venues and organisations.
And BFI LOVE is coming to the Nerve Centre in Derry with a few classic movies.
Heather Stewart, BFI Creative Director said: “Film ca bring love to life more powerfully than any other art form – it is cinema’s most seductive illusion and has transformed the way we see ourselves, and our love lives. Our season is not about sex.
“We’re getting back to LOVE: embracing the intimacy of the close-up and the anticipation of the much longed-for screen kiss: the very language of cinema itself.”
Hugh Odling-Smee, Film Hub NI Project Manager adds: “We’re really excited about this upcoming programme of films and events around the theme of LOVE. While appealing to the current audiences of each venues, I am sure that these particular films will drive new audiences to try out new venues, all in the name of LOVE. Bring a date, bring your friends or go alone – from old classics to modern day romances, this season will hit straight to the heart of everyone.”
Encompassing three key themes – The Power of Love, Fools for Love and Fatal Attractions – the BFI LOVE Blockbuster Season enables audiences to experience and share the multiple ways love has been presented in film on the big screen, whether they are newcomers to cinema or film-goers looking to expand their horizons.
The Last Picture Show
The Nerve Centre will present a programme of films in late November exploring LOVE through the idea of the good, the bad and the ugly, including Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Annie Hall, The Last Picture Show and My Beautiful Launderette.
