SUMMARY:A Small Cinema: A Small Cinema: The Double Negative Presents Fahren
 heit 451
DESCRIPTION:THE DOUBLE NEGATIVE Presents FAHRENHEIT 451 (12A)\nThursday Jan
 uary 21 2016\, 19.00 - 22.00\n£4 - £5\n\nAll profits from ticket sales g
 o to The Whitechapel Centre: the leading homeless and housing charity for 
 the Liverpool region.\n\nTickets: £5/4 here\n\nFrançois Truffaut (1966) 
 UK 1h 52min – Cert 12A\n\nDoors 19.00\nFilm 19.30\n“Why are books forb
 idden?”\n\n“Because they make people unhappy”\n\nWhat would happen i
 f all culture\, all books were eliminated? Illegal? Burned if discovered?\
 n\nAuteur director (Jules and Jim (1962)) and writer (Breathless (1960)) F
 rançois Truffaut’s screen version of Ray Bradbury’s bestselling 1953 
 dystopian novel (widely regarded as one of his finest works)\, Fahrenheit 
 451 conjures a nightmare vision of a future society in which ideas and cre
 ativity are violently suppressed.\n\n‘Firefighter’ Guy Montag (played 
 by Oskar Werner) burns books\; forbidden by the government\, and seen as d
 angerous\, subversive objects to be wiped out entirely\, Montag hunts down
  and destroys every book he can find from a frightened populace. Those fou
 nd guilty of harboring books are drugged into confession and eventual comp
 liancy. Those that believe in books — and therefore culture\, freedom of
  expression and education – work hard to covertly memorize single tomes 
 and whole collections in order that they may live on in the mind.\n\nIt is
  only when Montag meets – and falls in love with – young book collecto
 r Clarisse (Julie Christie) that he really begins to question his bosses
 ’ true motives. Will he denounce free thinking\, or face the consequence
 s of becoming one of the criminals he formerly condemned?\n\nScreened in c
 onjunction with Tate Liverpool’s provocative exhibition Works to Know by
  Heart: An Imagined Museum\, introduced by The Double Negative founders La
 ura Robertson and Mike Pinnington\, and including a reading from the orig
 inal Bradbury novel\, we present a film asking questions around a not-so-d
 ifficult-to-imagine near future where art and culture is under threat.\n\n
 A film\, in the context of unrelenting budget cuts\, religious censorship\
 , and political indifference\, which asks questions of how to preserve a s
 hared heritage for future generations and\, if it came to it\, how to choo
 se which creative works to salvage from the fire…\n\n‘Frightening in i
 ts implications… Mr. Bradbury’s account of this insane world\, which b
 ears many alarming resemblances to our own\, is fascinating’ – The New
  York Times\n\n‘A serious and even terrifying theme… thoughtfully dire
 cted by Francois Truffaut’ — Variety
