IT’S A FREE WORLD

Friday 11th April 2008 20:30 at Riverside Studios

(dir. Ken Loach, cast: Kierston Wareing, Lesław Żurek, Juliet Ellis, United Kingdom, 2007, 96 min)

The latest film by critically acclaimed director Ken Loach, whose When the Wind Shakes the Barley won the Palme d’Or at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival. Angie sets up a recruitment agency with her flat-mate, working in a twilight zone between gangmasters, employment agencies and the Eastern European migrant workers they place. This is a tale set against the reality of the Anglo Saxon miracle of flexible labour, globalisation, double shifts and lots of happy, happy consumers: Us. Director Ken Loach partly shot this film in Poland and won the Best Screenplay award at the Venice and Seville Film Festivals in 2007. Followed by a Q&A with Ken Loach and Kierston Wareing (tbc)
