Screening of the romantic road-trip documentary 'The Cycle of Love' directed by Orlando von Einsiedel, introduced by Mansel Stimpson of the Eastbourne Film Society.
The Cycle of Love is coming to the Towner Cinema on Saturday 14 November and Thursday 19 November, both screenings starting at 4.30pm. It's a documentary by Orlando von Einsiedel, and the Saturday showing is introduced by Mansel Stimpson, Chair of the Eastbourne Film Society.
The film follows PK, a 23-year-old street artist from Delhi, who sets off with a handful of paintbrushes and a second-hand bicycle on a 6,000-mile journey across Europe and Asia. He's looking for Lotta, the woman who captured his heart during her visit to India, and he's guided by an astrologer's prophecy. It's the same Oscar-winning filmmaking team behind Virunga and The White Helmets that put this together, and the critics have been warm to it: Next Best Picture called it "one of the most romantic documentaries in years" and RogerEbert.com described it as "a beautifully conceived documentary about the wonders of love."
The Towner Cinema itself is a state-of-the-art independent venue with a 4k HD projector and a Dolby surround-sound system, and it's known for "cinema plus" activities like introductions, Q&As and programme notes. The Saturday screening fits that mould, with Stimpson introducing the film before it starts. The movie is rated 12a, runs for 1 hour and 38 minutes, and the 4.30pm start is the film itself, with no trailers.
