Wall, i — film screening

As part of this year's MA Fine Art Degree Show — Becoming After — you are invited to attend a screening of a film project developed by graduating artist John Ledger.

This multi-disciplinary and collaborative film project is an autoethnographical exorcism, for a generation whose formative years happened 30 years ago as the Berlin wall fell.

Wall, i plays around with some of the themes in Pink Floyd’s The Wall (on its 40th anniversary), for a ‘millennial’ generation reared on promises of a future where they could be whatever they wanted to be.

Scripted by songs, Wall, i is a character who becomes trapped in himself as promises start to crumble; unable to connect, he falls into mental ill-health, spells of addiction, bitter resent and hatred.

This screening is free to attend but booking is advisable as places are limited. Please book your place here via Eventbrite.

Note: this film contains some adult themes and references. Older children are advised to be accompanied. May be unsuitable for minors.
