With Q&A with Oscar Winning Producer, Simon Chinn
(UK/USA 2008, dir. James Marsh, 90 mins, English and French)
On the morning of 7th August 1974, after months of preparation and years of dreaming, a French daredevil named Philippe Petit stepped into the sky above Lower Manhattan. For almost 45 minutes he ambled back and forth on a metal cable strung between the towers of the World Trade Center. This film follows the ‘artistic crime of the century’.
We are delighted to be screening this dazzling documentary, followed by an exclusive Question and Answer session with Producer Simon Chinn. In 2009 the film won the Best Documentary Feature Academy Award, the BAFTA for Outstanding British Film and a Grand Jury Prize at Sundance.
