As part of True North we have teamed up with the Belmont Fimhouse to show films related to our headliners Mogwai and Stardust: Camille O’Sullivan and friends present the music of David Bowie.
Wednesday 19th September
Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait (with soundtrack by Mogwai)
Belmont Filmhouse
£5
Impressionistic and captivating film about the art of a great footballer and the intensity of a live experience. 17 cameras follow Zinedine Zidane ceaselessly during Real Madrid’s home match against Villareal in 2005, and the resulting film depicts the entire 90-minute match entirely from his perspective.
Saturday 22nd September
The Man Who Fell top Earth (starring David Bowie)
Belmont Filmhouse
£10/8
Visually stunning fantasy in which an alien visits Earth in search of water for his dying planet but falls victim to his hosts, becoming seduced by the industrial empire he creates to fund the building of a spaceship to return home. Adaptated from the novel by Walter Tevis.

My First Gig is an opportunity for 9-12 year olds to experience their first ever live gig in a safe and supported, yet independent environment within the Lemon Tree. Our fully qualified Creative Learning team will be on hand to supervise whilst children enjoy the music from Harmonica Movement with face-painting, glitter tattoos, refreshments and much more also on offer. Parents can take the weight off and relax in our “adult crèche” at the same venue with newspapers, games, teas, coffees and snacks all available. Home Alone (Scott Anderson) will be the DJ for My First Gig
