An Evening With Mike Figgis

One of the modern masters of film presents a masterclass in filmmaking and introduces his rare and seminal documentaries on Vivienne Westwood, William Forsyth and the Frankfurt Ballet, and Flamenco Women.

Figgis is probably best known for Internal Affairs with Richard Gere and Leaving Las Vegas with Nick Cage, but his 20 year career embraces many levels of filmmaking from opening out to the screen Rattigan’s stage play The Browning Version to directing pop star Sting in Stormy Monday.

Recently Figgis’ oeuvre has become more experimental, working particularly with digital formats in the four screen Timecode and with controversial historical documentary  The Battle Of Orgreave where the original protagonists were invited to relive their life or death battle with Thatcher’s stormtroopers over the future of coal mining.

His latest film Cold Creek Manor with Sharon Stone is released in the Autumn
