Ian's Magic Box
Saturday 12 Nov 2022
The Lido, Hyde Church Lane, Winchester, SO23 7DZ
7.00pm – 10pm
The Lido – one of Winchester’s best kept secrets – is where the Rolling Stones and the Stranglers performed in December 1963.This year it’s 5 wonderfully weird shorts to disrupt routine and reason, selected by Winchester Film Festival’s very own experimentalist Ian Roberts.
Includes 2 UK premieres
This unique evening holds a few surprises, including live music by SPOD, an ‘inflated’ piece of artwork by Andrew Carnie, surreal paintings by Mark Michael and poetry by Hugh Greasley.
Please not that in the event that there are more people than chairs, younger or fitter members of the audience may choose to stand as this is an immersive experience.
