Join us at Green Man for a week­end fes­ti­val of film and music

We’re thrilled to be bring­ing the LWLies Cine­drome back to Green Man Fes­ti­val August 18 – 21 in the spec­tac­u­lar set­ting of the Bre­con Bea­cons, Wales, offer­ing anoth­er delec­table mix of mod­ern cin­e­ma spec­ta­cles and revived cult classics.

A Big­ger Splash is Luca Guadagnino’s sun-splashed Ital­ian thriller, star­ring Til­da Swin­ton as a mute rock­star and Ralph Fiennes as her unscrupu­lous ex-lover. The sav­age tow­er block dystopia of High-Rise pro­vides a bril­liant­ly bleak coun­ter­bal­ance – based on the clas­sic nov­el by JG Bal­lard, Ben Wheatley’s adap­ta­tion fea­tures vio­lent class war­fare and deli­cious­ly dark comedy.

Con­tin­u­ing Green Man’s tra­di­tion of show­cas­ing unmiss­able live film scores, we’re excit­ed to be pre­sent­ing a rare screen­ing of the 1973 cult ani­ma­tion Fan­tas­tic Plan­et, accom­pa­nied by a brand new live sound­scape per­formed by Aster­oid Deluxe. We’re also bring­ing Fritz Lang’s expres­sion­ist sci-fi mas­ter­piece Metrop­o­lis with an acclaimed live piano score from Dmytro Moryk­it, and Aiden Moffat’s new doc­u­men­tary Where You’re Meant To Be comes com­plete with a solo set from the Arab Strap leg­end himself.

All that plus Janis: Lit­tle Blue Girl, the rev­e­la­to­ry doc­u­men­tary on the life of Janis Joplin; Jere­my Saulnier’s bril­liant back­woods hor­ror Green Room, which harks back to the scari­est Amer­i­can B‑movie slash­ers; a new restora­tion of Expres­so Bon­go, the scathing 1959 music indus­try satire star­ring Cliff Richard; Disney•Pixar’s joy­ous­ly emo­tion­al ani­mat­ed mar­vel Inside Out; Welsh men­tal­ists Casey & Ewan return to Green Man with their eclec­tic Crys­tal Mas­sage; and Nic Roeg’s star­man odyssey The Man Who Fell to Earth, which stars the sore­ly missed David Bowie. And we’re invit­ing you to put on your red shoes and dance the blues at Let’s Dance – our Late Night David Bowie Disco.

We’ll be announc­ing the full LWLies Cine­drome line-up soon, so stay tuned and in the mean­time check out the full Green Man pro­gramme at green​man​.net
