Comment by Kevin Mullen on May 30, 2012 at 12:54 For information, the Department of Psychosocial Studies are running a short season of screenings in the Birkbeck cinema on the theme of familiy, and more specifically "Home Movies, Surveillance and the Family". Starts tonight with Atom Egoyan's Family Viewing. Sadly I can't make it but hoping to go the rest.

Comment by Hannah Proctor on January 14, 2012 at 11:24 Hey-
Sorry I missed The Driver last night - it looked great. I just wanted you to let you know about some more free film screenings at Birkbeck that might be of interest:

Comment by Kevin Mullen on November 11, 2011 at 12:50 I got to see Walter Hill's The Driver at MOMA while I was on holiday, and it certainly isn't Bresson, but there is a lot of Bresson in it, particularly references to Pickpocket. Might be an interesting change of pace to end the term if nothing else in penciled in for 9 December.
I thought you should all know about this:

See you on the 28th,
