Cinema Satellite screening.

In a remote village in Easter Europe,
around 1900, the young Motl Mendl is
entranced by the flickering silent
images on his father's cinematograph,
Forty years on, Matl - now a famed
American film director - looks back
on his early life and confronts the
cost of fulfilling his dreams.

Following Vincent in Brixton and The
Reporter, Nicholas Wrights new play
is a funny and fasinating tribute to the
Eastern European immigrants who become
major players in Hollywood's golden age.
