Visit the exhibition before every public screening during Coastal Currents. A 1903 British silent directed by G.A. Smith from the ‘Brighton School’ shows two children tending to a sick kitten; the starting point for a new series of original art of cats and kittens made by Montague Armstrong of 15 Kings Road. Original monoprints, bold and vibrant, made in an experimental process based on etching and using imagery in the spirit of a golden age of family matinees, inspired by film posters and creative expressions of children’s cinema during the Soviet era.
