The Third Generation (15) + Q&A with Ian Penman & Gareth Evans

In partnership with Fitzcarraldo Editions, to coincide with the release of Ian Penman's latest book Fassbinder Thousands of Mirrors, we are screening Rainer Werner Fassbinder's chaotic interrogation of terrorism, capitalist greed, and human desires in post-war Germany.

Fassbinder weaves together an intricate narrative that follows a group of young, radical terrorists planning their next revolutionary act. As they become entangled in a web of absurdity and incompetence, the lines between ideology and personal gain blur, leading to unexpected consequences. The film stands as a poignant reflection on the collective disillusionment and ideological confusion of an entire generation.

We are delighted to be joined by Ian Penman, writer and music journalist (The Guardian, Sight & Sound) and Gareth Evans, writer, producer and curator, for a Q&A.
