6 - 19 June: The Edge of Heaven. Film screening.
An accidental killing is the trigger for events in Fatih Akin's ambitious feature that leads Nejat, a German University professor, back to his father's homeland Turkey in search of Ayten, a radical activist, who flees the Turkish authorities for Germany. As their stories impact across both countries the film explores how cultural identity, political ideology and chance are interwoven in our globalised world, with considerable skill, intelligence and humanity. Various times.
