Screening of the documentary about George Michael's 1988 Faith Tour, using restored 35mm footage from the tour, subtitled.
George Michael is coming to The Arc Cinema in Preston on Friday 6 November, in a screening that puts his 1988 Faith Tour back on the big screen. It's not a new concert, but a restored look at one of his biggest moments: a performance at the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy during the record-breaking tour that defined his early solo years.
The film is put together from rediscovered 35mm footage that's never been seen or heard before, and it catches him at the height of his creative power. It's been restored and remastered, and the whole thing runs 134 minutes. Before the main show, there's an original short film by Mary McCartney, made from newly discovered audio and imagery from 1986 to 1988 — the Faith era — which works as a bit of a time capsule, giving a rare look at George's mindset at that particular turning point in his career.

If you're planning to go, there are a couple of practical things to keep in mind. The screening is subtitled, and the venue reports no wheelchair access. It runs from 20:20 to 22:34, so it's a late one that takes you well past ten.
