Event description

CineClub presents Typist Artist Pirate King 

Typist Artist Pirate King puts forgotten artist Audrey Amiss on the map. Inspired by her extensive archive of diaries, letters and art, the film weaves real events into an imagined journey as Audrey goes on a road trip with her psychiatric nurse.

From acclaimed British filmmaker, Carol Morley, this dark and funny exploration of the growing friendship between two women as they hit the road in an electric car looking for reconciliation, is filled with adventure, humour and compassion.

  • Writer & Director: Carol Morley
  • Starring Monica Dolan, Kelly MacDonald, Gina McKee
  • Language: English
  • Running time: 108 min

CineClub is a long-running film society and community run by the University of Sunderland, operating out of the David Puttnam Media Centre.
