Film screening – Eye Candy presents: Wild In The Streets – Drop the Dumbulls Gallery – 7pm As part of the annual Scalarama festival, and in celebration of the anniversary of the 1968 uprisings across the world, we present a classic counter-culture movie: When rock star Max Frost is asked by a Senator to appear at a ‘youth rally’ to mobilize younger voters, he demands the voting age be reduced to 14 - the youth respond by rising up, bringing many American cities to a standstill. Rather than choosing candidates to support, Max decides it's time he and his inner circle took control and unveils a bold plan to once and for all do something about people over 30 - including his parents. 15 certificate Free entry - arrive early to get a seat Door 7pm (Film 7:30) https://scalarama.com/liverpool/ Thursday 20th Immix Ensemble presents: Kelly Lee Owens & Thomas Gill – Invisible Wind Factory – 7:30pm Liverpool based new music group Immix Ensemble and Liverpool Biennial present the world premiere of a new collaborative performance by Kelly Lee Owens and visual artist Thomas Gill.
