Everlasting MomentsAn intimate portrait of working-class life in early 20th Century Malmo; Maria is the working class mother of seven, married to a violent, drunken, abusive husband. By chance she discovers that she has a talent for photography, an ability to see things in a way that others cannot, and it is the confidence that this gives her which enables her not so much to liberate herself, but to learn to live within the rules of the social milieu into which she was born.
27th May
7.30pm- 9.30pm
Born Into BrothelsA community worker teaches prostitutes' children the art of photography in a red light area of Calcutta. As she befriends them she takes it on herself to 'rescue' them from their fate, their friends and their families by getting them enrolled in private education schools to help them change their destiny. This is a superb film animated by the children themselves as they learn to express themselves, including through the art of photography, their outlooks on life are changed and as a fly on the wall insight into the lives of them and those that surround them.
