Good Luck, 2017
(UK/FR, 143mins, English subtitles)

Beginning with a 600m descent into the depths of the earth, Good Luck shines a light on the human face of labour in an underground state-owned copper mine in Serbia. The hiss of oxygen cuts through the diesel rumble; the walls of the office vibrate with explosions two levels below; the miners’ physical struggle finds its mirror a continent away in the tropical heat of an illegal Surinamese gold mine. The water pumps roar under the blinding sun; silver liquid rolls across the hand of a Saramaccan Maroon as he adds mercury to dirt in a never-ending search for gold.

Screening begins at 6.30pm. There will be a brief intermission at the film’s halfway point.
£5 / £2.50
