Three people on a train in the film Maine Ocean (1986)
Our Jacques Rozier series concludes with a real hidden gem: MAINE OCEAN.
A comic odyssey that follows a motley crew as they gather near the west coast of France. A film about language, travel, class, freedom, camaraderie, music, life.

ICA | In Focus: Michael Snow
The Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) is Londonโs leading space for contemporary culture. We commission, produce and present new work in film, music, performance and the visual arts by todayโs most...
10 days to go until our rare 16mm screening of Michael Snow's masterpiece* WAVELENGTH. Screening with the hilarious, hugely underseen SO IS THIS, part of a weekend of Snow films.
*A YT video with 880k views proclaims Wavelength the 'worst film ever'. Agree to disagree.
