For the Dark: Tony Grisoni (Strangelove)

About

Strangelove: moving image festival is proud to present a special live event featuring a unique staging of an excerpt from Dream Home, a new screenplay by one of the UK’s most exciting screenwriters, Tony Grisoni, read by Saskia Reeves. 

An extraordinary unmissable experience for anyone beguiled by the process of filmmaking, a film without film. 

Grisoni’s credits include Southcliffe, The Red Riding Trilogy, In this World, Brothers of the Head and Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas. Amongst others, he has collaborated with Samantha Morton, Michael Winterbottom and Terry Gilliam as well as with artists such as Brian Catling, Dryden Goodwin and Oona Grimes. Tony has also directed his own award winning short films which have screened in mainstream film festivals and gallery spaces. You’ll be able to watch excerpts from the full range of his work and Tony will be talking to the audience and answering questions about his work and influences. 

Saskia Reeves is a stage, screen and TV actor, who has worked with directors including Mike Leigh, Stephen Poliakoff, Michael Winterbottom and Nicholas Hytner, Steven Berkoff and Max Stafford-Clark. Reeves is one of the country's most fearless talents. She has recently featured in WOLF HALL, NYMPHOMANIAC vol 1, LUTHER and WOMEN in LOVE
