The Titanic Centenary

On this very day a hundred years ago the passenger liner RMS Titanic sank. To commemorate the disaster, film historian Luke McKernan presents films and extracts, fiction and non-fiction, concentrating particularly on versions of events up to and including the British film "A Night to Remember" (Roy Ward Baker, 1954). A highlight of the event will be a screening of “The Ill-fated Titanic”, a recently restored non-fiction film that survived from 1912. Plus, Valentine Palmer will be onboard with a presentation about his recently-published book "Titanic … And the Strange Case of Great Uncle Bertie". Copies of the book will be available for signing.

Refreshments will be available.
Doors open at 15.00.
