Join us for a special Poetry Festival screening of this 2016 critically acclaimed film
Written and directed by Jim Jarmusch and starring Adam Driver as Paterson - a hardworking bus driver and poet, who follows the same routine every day; listening to snatches of his passengers’ conversation and writing verse in a notebook. The film offers a quiet observation of the triumphs and defeats of daily life, along with the poetry evident in its smallest details.
“A prose-poem of gentle comic humility and acceptance of life.”
Doors will open 20 minutes before the screening.
The auditorium is on the second floor of the building with good lift access. The second row has accessible steps and there are 6 wheelchair spaces available.
If you have any additional requirements or questions before booking please contact ask@inspireculture.org.uk
Tickets available through the Eventbrite link or at the Library.
