Join us this Tue 15 September to experience groundbreaking 1929 silent drama Finis Terrae with a new score performed live by Dan Abrahams and Philippe Boudot: www.dca.org.uk/events/B10-cinetopia-salon-presents-finis-terrae-live-score

Jean Epstein's 1929 silent masterwork tells the story of four seaweed harvesters on a remote island off the coast of Brittany, cut off from the world as they toil amidst burning pyres of kelp. A petty quarrel arising between two of the group, Ambroise and Jean Marie, quickly turns to tragedy...

"The title of the show comes from a quip my mum made towards someone shouting in a fit of road rage...maybe for me 'the charm offensive' is also in part about charisma, beauty and being offensive - all of which relates to the job of making paintings."

France-Lise McGurn on why the exhibition is called The Charm Offensive. Head over to our website to watch her Artist Interview to hear more - and come in to see the show! DCA Galleries are open 11am - 6pm Tue-Sun (7pm on Thu). Free and drop-in.
