DESCRIPTION: Before John Boorman went to Hollywood to make the neo noir cla
 ssic Point Blank\, he worked in BBC Bristol making documentaries and docud
 ramas. This little known period of his life and work is ripe for rediscove
 ry. \n\n In 1964\, Boorman helped launch BBC 2 with a six-part series abou
 t Bristol. The Newcomers is a unique view of the city in the mid-1960s at 
 a time of national and international social\, cultural\, political and eco
 nomic change. It is centred around the lives of Alison Kennedy\, who came 
 to Bristol as a student\, and Anthony Smith (ACH Smith)\, who came to work
  for the Bristol Post and then Western Daily Press. \n\n They met by chanc
 e\, married\, and Bristol became their home and where they started their f
 amily. Many familiar faces from Bristol at the time feature\, including pl
 aywright Tom Stoppard. But the real star is the city of Bristol itself\, i
 ncluding a run-down Clifton. \n\n The series covers\, among others\, capit
 al punishment\, work and housing\, docks labour\, a dodgy pub\, night life
  (where Stoppard dances the Hippy Hippy Shake at The Glen)\, NHS and the w
 elfare state\, homelessness\, an evangelical church in St Paul's\, trying 
 to make a living as an artist\, crime and policing\, what it means to live
  the good life in Bristol and cities generally. There's fewer cars and a l
 ot more smoking. There's even a brief glimpse of Raghbir Singh\, the first
  Sikh (and non-white) bus conductor to be employed by the Bristol Omnibus 
 Company following the bus boycott in 1963. \n\n Following the screening of
  the complete The Newcomers\, we will show Money Into Light\, where Boorma
 n returns to Bristol 25 years on and revisits the places he worked in and 
 filmed. \n\n This is a rare chance to see both films on the cinema screen.
