Presented by The Incubator Creative Hub, join us at the Village Community Cinema for our cinematic concept series......
PICTURE THIS - The Inspiration Behind The Creation.
In this series, artists will share with us, the film that has influenced or inspired their artistic practice, analytically reflecting on their work in correlation with their chosen film.
On Saturday February 11th, we will be joined by artist Sam Allen as he shares insights into his artistic practice, followed by a screening of his chosen film, 'SPIRITED AWAY'.

"Hayao Miyazaki’s 'Spirited Away' is a timeless masterpiece. Its surreal world building, painterly style and brilliant symbolic storytelling have enriched my own life and artwork. 

Spirited away tackles an enormous amount of themes. This accomplishment makes the movie’s world feel alive. My first time seeing the film as a kid the film’s world, much like the real world, seemed alien. However, upon revisiting it every few years I have found more of myself in it. 

My reflections on this movie have continuously increased my appreciation of the power of visual art and storytelling. The power of spirited away comes from its universal coming of age story that has mirrored a lot of my own experiences trying to grow up.   

Join me at the village cinema as I share how this movie has been an inspiration, a cautionary tale and a reflection of my own journey becoming an artist. Then sit back, relax and enjoy a movie for the ages." - Sam Allen
