Dead Good Film Club: Screening &amp; DiscussionTonight's film takes us from Newcastle to Zanzibar, with a pre-screening discussion with filmmaker Andy Jones.I Shot Bi Kidude - or the curious kidnap of the world's oldest singer"The documentary speaks about Kidude’s personal liberation – she was after all an African woman who had no children, and whose art has always been exploited. The story turns into a report of an aging and lonely woman, whose only happiness is music." Maysa Monção, Dirty MoviesWhat to expect:Film has a unique power to open up the conversations we find hardest to have. Add food, a fire, fresh air and great company, and the Dead Good Film Club creates a truly unforgettable space to explore those conversations together — with curiosity, humour and honesty.Wayfaring Cinema is a mobile outdoor cinema that will be parked up near Newcastle City Library for the evening, complete with bookable deckchairs and a fire to keep you warm.Can't book a deckchair? Bring your own seat and watch for free! Everyone is welcome.Dead Good Film Club brings people together around carefully chosen films to spark honest, fascinating conversations about death and dying – topics that are all too often considered off-limits.Who it's for:AdultsSession length:8pm – 9pm pre-screening event &amp; conversation, 9pm –10:30pm film screeningFind out more: film trailer for <a href="https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DGAEkDfY-KOo&amp;data=05%7C02%7Ckim.dryden%40newcastle.gov.uk%7C22e18c5df7d24e4755b408de94b2b83c%7Cb29fb4c00d044a9fb462c1294b1e1b47%7C0%7C0%7C639111692548532004%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=ubYPFCisFTEwcJLb4mjidCezfTsTKPc2b1O6Eh4aYKE%3D&amp;reserved=0" title="https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DGAEkDfY-KOo&amp;data=05%7C02%7Ckim.dryden%40newcastle.gov.uk%7C22e18c5df7d24e4755b408de94b2b83c%7Cb29fb4c00d044a9fb462c1294b1e1b47%7C0%7C0%7C639111692548532004%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=ubYPFCisFTEwcJLb4mjidCezfTsTKPc2b1O6Eh4aYKE%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">I Shot Bi Kidude</a>Tickets:£3 to book a deckchair — or bring your own seat and watch for freeFor further information about the festival, please visit <a href="https://afterlives.uk/" title="https://afterlives.uk/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://afterlives.uk</a>
