It continues!

Thanks to everyone who turned up at our inaugral film screening last week. Following a few teething problems, we feel it turned out quite a success.

Because there is a lecture on Tuesday the 27th, our next screening, of Brazil (1985), will be on Thursday March 1st. It will also move to the cinema, because the sound quality is much better there.

Brazil is Terry Gilliam film (Monty Python, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas) starring Robert De Niro, Bob Hoskins, Michael Palin, Ian Holm and Jonathon Pryce.

In an Orwellian vision of the future, the populace are completely controlled by the state, but technology remains almost as it was in the 1970's. Sam Lowry is a civil servant who one day spots a mistake in one of the pieces of paperwork passing through his office. The mistake leads to the arrest of an entirely innocent man, and although Lowry attempts to correct the error, it just gets bigger and bigger, sucking him in with it.



Hope you can make it - don't forget, there's a glass of wine in it!

It Begins!

So, this is the first post to the blog of the newly founded student society at ASD, MA&DE. We're really looking forward to our first event this Tuesday the 13th of January, which is going to be a film evening - we've booked the room, and chosen the film, and posters are going up tomorrow in the school, and on our beautiful yellow noticeboard by the cafe. All will be revealed there.

We're very excited to have finally got this started, and have lots of ideas for things to do over the semester, and possibilities for the years to come also - all suggestions welcome and wanted though, and anyone who wants to get involved, please do get in touch.

Looking forward to seeing you all on Tuesday!
