Harbouring Hopes for Ramsgate

Silverland Studios, Ramsgate, November 9-14 from 2pm – 5pm

Year 8 students from Royal Harbour Academy and Chatham & Clarendon Grammar School have been busy with ‘Harbouring Hopes for Ramsgate’ – the latest programme created by Project Motorhouse in association with The Ramsgate Society and supported by The Heritage Lottery Fund.

Since March they have been exploring career opportunities within the heritage sector, filming and interviewing practitioners such as stonemasons, carpenters and conservators at Dover Castle and Canterbury Cathedral.

Being one of the first ten Heritage Action Zones in England, Ramsgate was the perfect starting point to document the type of specialised work required to preserve local architecture.  Using photography, video, sound and the written word, the students have created a spectacular multi media exhibition.

Keen to boost his flagging career, fading Hollywood action hero Jefferson Steele arrives in England to play King Lear in Stratford – only to find this is not Stratford upon Avon, but a sleepy Suffolk village. Also instead of RSC members, the cast is a bunch of amateurs trying to save their theatre. His ego and vanity are tested to the limit by the enthusiastic am-dram group. As acting worlds collide and Jefferson’s career implodes, he discovers some truths about himself – along with his inner Lear.

£11 Advance / Friends

In Search of Xanadu

200 years of Dance in Margate!

Round in Circles presents an afternoon of social dancing, films, performances & informative talks.

As part of producing In Search of Xanadu, Anna Symes & Bob Chicalors undertook the epic task of researching 200 years of leisure & entertainment culture (nightclubs & dancing!) in Margate. This was through oral testimonies, dance workshops & good old fashioned archive rummaging. The Xanadu Legacy is an afternoon to celebrate & share the results, through short expert talks, live performances and your own opportunities to take to the dancefloor

This event will also launch the Xana Zine, a publication documenting the production heritage research

Juliet, Naked 

Filmed in Broadstairs and at the Palace Cinema!

When the acoustic demo of Tucker’s hit record from 25 years ago surfaces, its release leads to a life-changing encounter with the elusive rocker himself.

Dogman (15)

Palace Cinema Broadstairs

Marcello is a small and gentle dog groomer who wants two things, to look after his dogs and take his daughter on exotic holidays. But to fund this lifestyle he runs a side business which has more unsavoury clientele and he soon finds himself involved in a dangerous relationship of subjugation with Simone, a former violent boxer who terrorises the entire neighbourhood. When Simone exploits him too much Marcello must make a crucial and potentially dangerous decision in order to regain his dignity.
