Win tickets to MAN ON WIRE at Open City London

There are hundreds (literally) of documentaries to watch this weekend at Open City London Documentary Festival.  The programme of films is stunning, covering a massive range of non-fiction titles and featuring appearances and screenings from giants of documentary filmmaking like Christi Puiu, Penny Woolcock and Pawel Pawlikowski.

WIN TICKETS TO MAN ON WIRE
1pm, Thursday 16th June, at UCL's Darwin Theatre

The very first screening of the very first Branchage Film Festival was Man On Wire.  The film went on to win an Oscar, and it holds a special place in our hearts.  A dramatic and arresting mixture of reconstruction and original footage, the film recounts Philippe Petit's 1974 wire walk between the Twin Towers, 1350 feet above New York.  Man On Wire feels like more of a heist movie than a documentary - it's doc filmmaking at its most cinematic and magnificent.

To celebrate the wisdom of Open City for putting it back up on the big screen, we're giving away a pair of tickets to the screening this Thursday 16th June at 1pm. 

TO ENTER, email info@branchagefestival.com with 'MAN ON WIRE' in the subject line, and we'll select a name at random first thing on Wednesday morning (15th June) and email the winner.
