In 1959, the last cinema organ in Newcastle disappeared.

Film: Hiroshima (Uruguay) (2009)
7:30 p.m.
Incredible film, at once experimental in its form, challenging in its content, and visually beautiful: this is a non-identified floating object. Best described as a silent musical: no dialogue is heard at all throughout the film, but music from unsigned Uruguay rock/metal/psychedelic bands make the film fly. 24 hours in the life of a singer with autistic tendencies.
