CLAIRE ANGELIQUE SCREENING

Exclusive screening of Standard Bank Young Artist of the Year’s second feature film on July 29

Claire Angelique, Durban's young multi–award-winning film-maker, writer and this year’s Standard Bank Young Artist Award winner for Film is staging an exclusive first edit screening of her compellingly mysterious sophomore feature film - Palace Of Bone at artSPACEdurban.

This premier director's cut, has literally just been ejected out of the edit room having only two weeks ago returned from critical and effusive reviews at the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown where the first 35 minutes of Palace of Bone was screened to a buzzing audience on the main programme.

Durban audiences get an exclusive chance to view the complete first edit of Palace of Bone at its second screening artSPACE durban on July 29 at 18h00. My Black Little Heart, Angelique's first feature film will be shown after that.

The Festival’s newspaper Cue reported: ''After the intensity and catharsis of My Black Little Heart, her new film Palace of Bone is a step away from savagely personal. In fact it’s anything but autobiographical. Still, Angelique’s trademark dark, beautiful imagery pervades, as do the thematic obsessions with the underbelly and the underdog.''

artSPACE durban is situated at 3 Millar Road (off Umgeni Road) close to the Waste Centre. More information on 031 312 0793 or visit www.artspacedurban.co.za or www.artspacedurban.blogspot.com
