A special double bill of an evening sees two acclaimed artists visiting Star and Shadow. Filmmaker Luke Fowler and musician Richard Youngs travel down from Glasgow to showcase Luke's latest film and spend the evening with us.

ALL DIVIDED SELVES

Luke Fowler's latest film comes to Star and Shadow. Continuing his investigation into charismatic iconoclast R. D. Laing, the film concentrates on archival representations of Laing and his colleagues as they struggled to acknowledge the importance of considering social environment and disturbed interaction in institutions as significant factors in the aetiology of human distress and suffering. All Divided Selves reprises the vacillating responses to these radical views and the less forgiving responses to Laing's latter career shift; from eminent psychiatrist to enterprising celebrity. A dense, engaging and lyrical collage from Derek Jarman Award winner Luke Fowler.

LUKE FOWLER + RICHARD YOUNGS SET

The screening is followed by an improvised set from Fowler and the great Richard Youngs. Youngs, who started his No Fans Records in 1990 but is also put out by jagjaguwar, collaborates widely counting Jandek, Brian Lavelle and Neil Campbell amongst his co-creators. Youngs, who hasn't played in Newcastle for quite some time, makes his first appearance at Star and Shadow. Needless to say, we are very much looking forward to this event.
