Terence Davies’ deeply personal portrait of Liverpool returns to the city, and to the big screen, in a special 35mm presentation.

On the first Monday of every month, FACT presents a specially selected 35mm film. Look closely, and you’ll see the grain, flicker and occasional imperfections of a print that has been preserved, handled and enjoyed by audiences over time. This is the first in an ongoing series of screenings, with many more films to be announced.

One lucky audience member will be invited into the projection room to start the film. Step behind the scenes, see the reels and specialist equipment up close, and discover the increasingly rare skills that bring film to life on the big screen.

Doors: 19:00. Screening: 19:30.

The screening will begin at the advertised time without adverts or trailers.

Bookings

Booking Required — £8-10*

Combining archive footage with music, poetry and his own unmistakable narration, Davies looks back at the Liverpool of his childhood and the forces that shaped it. Images of crowded streets, demolished neighbourhoods, religious ceremony and everyday working-class life form a moving collage of a city, and a life, remembered.

Both a love letter and a lament, Of Time and the City moves between affection, anger, humour and grief. Davies reflects on family, faith, sexuality, popular culture and urban change, tracing the distance between the Liverpool he knew and the city it would become.

Presented on 35mm in the city at its heart, this screening offers a special opportunity to experience Davies’ evocative combination of archive imagery, music and memory through the texture of film.

Presented by FACT and supported by Film Hub North with National Lottery funding on behalf of the BFI Film Audience Network.
