The opening film of the coming season will be Wim Wenders’ latest Oscar nominated offering PINA. There will be a wine reception at 7pm on Thursday, March 1, with the film commencing at 7.30pm

Words are the enemy in Wim Wenders’ mysterious, subversive tribute to German dance pioneer Pina Bausch, who died in 2009 just as Wenders, the director of ‘Buena Vista Social Club’ and ‘Wings of Desire’, was beginning to make this film.

Some will come to this film full of knowledge of Bausch. For others, it will be as fresh and novel as Wenders’s approach to turning dance into cinema. A stunning film and a glorious homage to modern dance.
