1956: FREE CINEMA
70 years ago, the Free Cinema manifesto was written by Lindsay Anderson, Lorenza Mazzetti and Karel Reisz to introduce a series of short films at the London’s National Film Theatre in February 1956. Not even the filmmakers themselves expected Free Cinema to turn out as more than one screening; however, their films received such huge support and acclaim of both the audiences and art critiques that the a movement was launched. It was clear that the Free Cinema movement, although established to promote films “nobody would screen”, had touched on something essential.
We will screen two of these films: "Momma Won't Allow" and "Together".
