Screening of STRAWBERRY FIELDS (Dir Francis Lea, 2012, 84mins) followed by Q&A with actors Anna Madeleyand Christine Bottomley
“The second feature from British director Francis Lea (and part of the Microwave film funding scheme), Strawberry Fields is a powerful, at times twisted drama surrounding two emotionally dysfunctional sisters who are in love with the same man - for very different reasons... Both Bottomley and Madeley are excellent”. Cine-vue

Wednesday 7th November 2pm – Documentary with Vitaly Mansky
It is said that an average human spends about 10 years in front of a TV screen. It does not make sense to inquire if they are the lost years, for it is impossible to imagine our civilization without television, even though it was invented less than 100 years ago. Nevertheless, television is not the only protagonist of this film, for there are two more principal characters, both of them TV stars, Dan Rather and Igor Kirillov. For the audiences in the U.S. and the Soviet Union their names were synonymous with the television.Iconoscope is your chance to grasp the entire history of television in 100 minutes of enthralling and paradoxical spectacle.
Vitaly Mansky is known as Russia’s master of documentary films. With a career spanning over 30 films, Mansky has made numerous award-winning documentaries, including a trilogy about the three Russian presidents, Gorbachev, Yeltsin and Putin and Sunrise/Sunset, a portrait of the Dalai Lama. Vitaly Mansky has been was awarded with more than 50 awards and prizes in Russia and abroad including the “Silver Dove” of the Leipzig festival, the award for best direction (Locarno), the “Prize of Europe” diploma, and The National award of cinema critics and press “Beliy Slon” (“White Elephant”). Vitaly Mansky is the publisher of the oldest web-magazine on documental films VERTOV.RU and the Author of the Reality Cinema Manifesto. Presented in collaboration with the 6th London Russian Film Festival. www.russianfilms.org
