SpaceKraft Kino: Double-Bill

HOLD 1 ::: 17th 19:00-23:00

[Film Screenings] - Ticketed

Two feature documentaries portraying the recent histories of independent art projects emerging from the underground, with links and historic parallels to Spacecraft. The films explore the role of charismatic figures within complex collective ventures, and the challenges and paradoxes facing alternative projects claiming space and negotiating an ongoing existence within a wider world and economy.

Invisible Circus: No Dress Rehearsal [99] Dir Naomi Smyth

Charismatic ringmaster, Doug Francis leads his anarchist circus from margins to mainstream with the motto 'If it's not impossible, we're not interested'. The 3-year span of the film takes them from chaotic squat crew to licensed building managers with huge show budgets - via rotting garages, crumbling cathedrals and finally a takeover of Bristol's ex-police HQ. Relationships in the close team reveal the gain and the pain of success, but 3 years on they're still working for free. Profit or loss?

Second film [TBC]
