We are sorry to announce that Anna Bogutskaya, who was due to introduce our screening of Black Swan on Thursday evening, has had to cancel. She has kindly recorded an introduction for us which will screen before the film.
Black Swan is a psychological thriller set in the New York ballet, that follows Nina, a competitive, dedicated dancer, whose dreams of taking the lead in Swan Lake threaten to overpower her already fragile state of mind. It is impossible to imagine the world of Black Swan without the fever-fuelled influence of The Red Shoes.
