Moving Conversations

Edinburgh based ‘itinerant’ cinema operator, The Futurist, is to offer its acclaimed Moving Conversations events at the Warner Village cinema in Edinburgh. Moving Conversations offer a lively panel discussion about a range of subjects, before showing a main feature movie. The Futurist has already partnered with the Royal Museum and the Filmhouse to cover topics such as the Scottish video games industry, personal recollections of the Nazi holocaust, acting and journalism. Now the Futurist has teamed up with
Warner Village to offer a series of these events, initially turning its
sights on comedy and technology...

MOVING CONVERSATIONS
WARNER VILLAGE CINEMA, EDINBURGH, 6.30pm, 24th JULY 2003
SPAMMERS & SPOOLS
Moving Conversations, the popular panel discussion with a twist, dips its toes into the world of computers and technology on 24th July at the Warner Village Cinema in Greenside Place, Edinburgh. Scottish technology gurus such as David Farquhar from Interactive University, Dr Aydin Kurt Elli from edNET, Tracey Ward from MX Alliance and Ian Preece from The National Trust for Scotland will each choose a film that represents the best or the worst
of technology. These movies will be impossible to predict, however the choice will be backed up by an impassioned and eloquent argument. The debate will be followed by a showing of the digital cinema masterpiece, Russian Ark - a unique journey through time and Russian history and the first entirely unedited, single take, full-length feature film. All for a mere £6.50 (£5.50 conc).
This is guaranteed to be one technology bubble bursting with goodness and value.
Tickets can be purchased on the door, in advance at the Warner Village box office (Tel 0131 557 3964) or via the automated booking number 0870 2406020.
