Due to circumstances beyond our control (and, yes, they really were), we are unable to screen the film Ghosts of the Civil Dead on Thursday, 15 October.
The good news is … we are screening Wim Wenders’ much-loved film, Wings of Desire, instead. The film features two of Nick Cave’s songs and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds make a cameo appearance.
The film screening begins at 6pm but come in early, visit Nick Cave: The Exhibition (open until 5pm) and then have coffee and cake in bookplate.

are there plans to show GotCD at a later date? I’ve been waiting to see this since I was 14!
Thanks for your enquiry, Dish. I’m sorry to say that we have no plans at present to screen GotCD – but don’t give up hope. If we don’t screen it, the Film and Sound Archive might and I believe it is also screened occasionally at film festivals.
