THE WAR GAME    

Dir. Peter Watkins | UK | 45 min

Director Peter Watkins, who made the excellent “Punishment Park” featured in last years MUFF, shot a dark in B&W satire of a limited nuclear strike on Kent in England. Banned from English television for 2O years this short feature (45 mins) blends fact and fiction to create a moving and startling vision of the personal and public consequences of such an attack. The film once given release in the 60’s played an important part in the anti-nuclear movement.

Wednesday July 14th 8:30pm George Cinemas.
