Not just a defining work of the French New Wave but one of the great, lasting mysteries of modern art, Alain Resnais' epochal Last Year at Marienbad has been puzzling appreciative viewers for decades.

Derek Jarman (1942-1994) the British artist, AIDS activist, writer, gardener and director, is arguably the most important gay filmmaker in the Anglo-American tradition. The film recreates the life of Caravaggio, creating a biography for him by restaging his most famous paintings. The film will be accompanied by the launch of a new book about Jarman, Derek Jarman's Angelic Conversations. The author, Jim Ellis, will introduce the film and lead a discussion afterwards.
