Event description
Sunderland Film Club presents The Weird and the Eerie II: Wyrd Albion – a one-day film festival celebrating left-field and offbeat British folk horror.
Join us at Arts Centre Washington this June for a screening of Ben Wheatley’s psychedelic English Civil War odyssey – A Field in England.
A trio of deserting soldiers and an alchemist’s assistant are commandeered by sinister Irishman O’Neil and forced to join a bizarre hunt for buried treasure. Along the way, the group transgresses the thin line between civilization and nature, throwing the entire film into delightful chaos.
Before the screening, we will be joined for a performance by County Durham-based experimental guitarist Lucy Valentine.
