BBC Storyville Preview: The Great European Disaster Movie + Q&A

This screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Annalisa Piras and executive producer Bill Emmott.

Following the success of Girlfriend in a Coma, director Annalisa Piras brings us an artfully constructed depiction of how Europe is sleepwalking toward disaster, starring Angus Deayton in fiction scenes from a post-EU future. Piras pairs an imagined view from a dystopian future with insightful analysis on how and why things are going so wrong by ordinary Europeans and economic and political experts.
