Park Circus and Cinema Rediscovered are proud to present a brand new touring screening season curated by festival founder Mark Cosgrove:

Against the Grain: 1980s British Cinema

Amid turbulent times and the social and political upheaval of Thatcherism, seeds of renewal were planted across the independent film sector, from the arrival of Channel 4 and the rise of maverick distributor/producer Palace Pictures to the emergence of new voices. Against the Grain comprises a lineup of titles that helped reshape British film culture throughout the 1980s and beyond.

DCP combo drive!

A selection of season titles are available to book on a single cost effective DCP combo drive via Park Circus, including:

Book two or more season titles to receive all five titles as part of the DCP combo drive. David Drury's BAFTA®-winning thriller Defence of the Realm is also available to book individually as part of the season.

Against the Grain is supported by new artwork (above)/social assets, UK-wide PR campaign, limited edition t-shirts, and opportunities to access to guest speakers and promotional support for marketing/events via Cinema Rediscovered.
