Friday at the Flicks is a series that screens classic, significant and challenging films. A five-minute pre-screening talk sets the context and then post-show drinks and nibbles allow for a post-show discussion with a community of film enthusiasts.

After Life 

Japan, 1998.

What memory would you choose to take from life into death?

Part documentary, part moving reflection on memory and death, After Life provides humour and feel-goodery in an atypical, non-Hollywood fashion to great effect. In a way station between life and death, twenty-two recently departed souls have a week to recreate and film one scene from their lives to savour for all eternity. Poignant without feeling forced, Hirokazu Kore-eda’s After Life is at once existential and life-affirming and will stay with you long after you’ve finished watching.

Rated PG for adult/supernatural themes

Includes post show drink and nibbles.
