The Spirit of ‘45<br />
Fri 5 – Sun 7 April<br />
Ken Loach’s touching documentary about a unique moment<br />
in Britain’s history returns to DCA by popular demand. Using<br />
film from Britain’s regional and national archives, alongside<br />
sound recordings and contemporary interviews, Loach<br />
creates a rich political and social narrative about the<br />
unprecedented period of social change after the Second<br />
World War. The Spirit of ‘45 illuminates and celebrates a<br />
period of unprecedented community spirit in the UK, the<br />
impact of which endured for many years and which may<br />
yet be rediscovered today.<br />

The Road: A Story of Life<br />
and Death<br />
Tue 16 April<br />
The latest film from acclaimed documentarian Marc Isaacs<br />
offers a fascinating and intimate insight into the lives of<br />
people who have come to London from afar and struggled to<br />
make the city their home. Isaacs introduces a diverse group<br />
of characters who have made their way to London from all<br />
over the world in order to seek a better life. A highly affecting<br />
study of immigration, The Road: A Story of Life and Death is<br />
infused with wonderful flashes of humour and equally<br />
heartbreaking moments where broken dreams are revealed.<br />

Side by Side<br />
Tue 9 April, 18:00<br />
Movies used to be shot, edited and projected using<br />
photochemical film. But over the last two decades a digital<br />
process has emerged to challenge photochemical<br />
filmmaking. Side by Side, a new documentary produced by<br />
Keanu Reeves, takes an in-depth look at this revolution.<br />
Through interviews with leading directors (including Martin<br />
Scorsese and George Lucas), cinematographers, film<br />
students, producers, technologists and editors, the film<br />
examines all aspects of filmmaking to explore what has<br />
been gained, what is lost, and what the future might bring.<br />

First Position<br />
Fri 26 – Sun 28 April<br />
Every year, thousands of aspiring dancers enter one of the<br />
world’s most prestigious ballet competitions: the Youth<br />
America Grand Prix, where lifelong dreams are at stake. In<br />
the final round, with hundreds competing for only a handful<br />
of elite scholarships and contracts, nothing short of<br />
perfection is acceptable. Bess Kargman’s award-winning,<br />
box office hit documentary First Position follows six<br />
extraordinary dancers as they prepare for the chance to<br />
enter the world of professional ballet, struggling through<br />
bloodied feet, near exhaustion and debilitating injuries, all<br />
while navigating the drama of adolescence.<br />
