Combining amateur footage of Brighton, landscape drawings from the Gruto Park repository of Soviet era statues and an intimate interview with Peter Watkins (director of The War Game), Narkevičius’ film emphasises the value of doubt and the impossibility of objectivity, while providing us with an intimate portrait of one of Britain’s most distinguished and original filmmakers.

Based on first accounts of gay men living under the threat of the Soviet Penal Code, Narkevičius recounts the story of a young theatre director who loses his job following accusations of homosexuality.

Narkevičius’ film The Dud Effect will accompany a screening of The War Game on Saturday 26 September at 5pm in The Maltings Theatre & Cinema.
