To celebrate the launch of our new season of Argentine cinema, members are invited to experience the country's musical heritage on Friday 8 May.
Join us in the Atrium Bar from 19:00, where singer, songwriter, and guitarist Corina Piatti, who is originally from Argentina, will perform a selection of Argentinian tango and original compositions.
At 20:00 we'll head into the screen for an introduction to the season by its curator, Abla Kandalaft, which will be followed by Relatos salvajes (Wild Tales). Co-produced by Pedro Almodóvar, this delightfully deranged anthology film is an exhilarating thrill-ride which you’re never going to forget.
Tickets for the event are £15 each, and restricted to 2 per member, meaning you can bring an amigo or amiga along for the occasion.
About the film:
Inequality, injustice, and the demands of the world we live in cause stress and depression for many people. Most face them on bended knee - but some of them explode. This is a film about those people. Comprising six stories of apocalyptic revenge, Wild Tales is a blackly comic series of vignettes on what it means to lose control. A critical and commercial hit, the film is also a clever social satire that skewers the frustration caused by corruption and class disparity.
About Corina Piatti:
Corina Piatti is a singer, songwriter and guitarist, originally from Argentina, whose songs have a strong folk blues sound with a South American flavour. Corina sings in Spanish, Portuguese and English, reflecting the different cultures from which she has taken her musical inspirations. Brazilian bossa-novas and sambas, and particularly music by Jobim, are some of her specialties, and when she sings tangos in her native Spanish, you cannot help but admire the authenticity. Corina’s own songs and guitar accompaniment are refreshingly unique in character. Her lyrics, often surrealistic, are delivered with a soulful vocal style that communicates feelings of both calm and excitement at the same time.
