In commemoration of Bill Hammond's life, writer and director Alan D'Arcy Erson has offered us his film for a one-off screening.

An intriguing blend of drama and documentary are used to tell the story of Kevin McManus (Ian Hughes) whose life is falling apart at the seams when he is overwhelmed by a Hammond painting in an art gallery. He embarks on a search for Hammond's pictures and explanations of them, questioning and observing others whose lives have also been affected by the work of one of our best and most distinctive artists. (2007, 40 mins.)

Our auditorium seats 176, so ensure you get here early to secure a seat. First in, first served!
