The film screenings will take place in the Gallery courtyard at 8pm, following the exhibition opening of ‘Call and Response’ – a retrospective of the work of photographer Cedric Nunn. No charge, all welcome (bring a picnic).
15 September 2011, 6.30pm - 15 September 2011, 10.00pm
The evening will begin with the screening of the 1962 short film, La Jetee (28mins). This will be followed by the main feature, 12 Monkeys. It will be very interesting to see these two films side by side.

Join us on Thursday for the next installment of Cinema Thursday, this time with a charming tale of some seriously off-beat characters finding their way in the world. The film won the Caméra d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
The next Cinema Thursday offering, on Thursday 18 August, is Strictly Ballroom. It comes from the same director of Moulin Rouge and the 1996 version of Romeo + Juliet, so expect colour, music and great styling.
Now that we're all in full movie-watching mode after another great Durban International Film Festival, lets keep the movie mojo going as Cinema Thursday resumes. The scheduled movie for Thursday 4 August is Israli film, The Bubble.
The new season of Cinema Thursday opens with a teateaser reel of what you can expect to see at the upcoming Durban International Film Festival. Approx 30 min.
Then on to the main feature... Priscilla Queen of the Desert.
Osama (2003), Siddiq Barmak, 83 mins, Afghanistan
Inspired by a true story, Osama is the first entirely Afghan film shot since the fall of the Taliban. Harrowing and moving, this is an unmissable piece of cinema.
