Friday 9th February

Club Film have a great one for you in February! Celine Song's "Past Lives" is a simply beautiful film about love, loss and identity.

It has rightly received huge praise from the critics and featured in almost all of the 2023 top 10 polls, being named Film of the Year in publications like the Guardian and Empire magazine.

"Past Lives" has been nominated for Best Film and Best Original Screenplay at the Academy Awards, in addition to three BAFTA nominations.

We hope you'll love it as much as we do and we look forward to seeing as many of you as possible on the 9th.

WHAT IS IT THAT WILL LAST? LAND AND TIDAL ART OF JULIE BROOK
By Julie Brook, Simon Groom, Alexandra Harris, Raku Jikinyū and Robert Macfarlane

Young Films are delighted to announce the launch of a new book that explores the work of Julie Brook.

This is the first substantial publication to explore the work of Julie Brook and is published to coincide with a major solo show at Abbot Hall to mark its re-opening after redevelopment.

The book offers a rich and expansive visual record of Julie Brook’s artistic practice, and proposes a unique collaboration with distinct voices from the nature writing and craftsmanship traditions. Including film stills, photography and drawing, which are all integral languages for conceptualising and communicating the work, plus insightful extracts from Brook’s notebooks, this beautiful publication succeeds in providing the reader with a unique understanding of the artist’s ‘monuments to the moment’.
