In honour of Linklater's Nouvelle Vague, join us at the Cube to revisit a key influence on the French New Wave.

Inspired by Dostoyevsky and Samuel Fuller, Bresson furthered refined his unique working method with Pickpocket, a tale of crime and compulsion in Paris. Michel (Martin La Salle) is an unemployed man who thinks the life of a regular person is beneath him, which leads him to try his luck living off pickpocketing. His friend Jeanne (Marika Green) tries to help him but as the number of his crimes increase, it becomes increasingly ambiguous whether his stealing is due to necessity or stemming from some mysterious purpose known only to him...

A minimalist thriller as well as love story in disguise, Pickpocket is one of the best loved and most influential films in the history of French cinema, and essential viewing for anyone.

"He is the French cinema, as Dostoevsky is the Russian novel and Mozart is German music."- Jean-Luc Godard

Covid Care

To keep everyone safe, FFP2 (or better) masks are required for all at this event, unless you are exempt. 

You don’t need to disclose your barrier to wearing a mask if you’re exempt; however, if you are able to wear a mask, you will be doing so for the benefit of the whole group - including attendees who are unable to wear a mask.

We will provide FFP2 masks to anyone who needs one on arrival. Please bring your own if you are able to. 

Please do not attend if you have a new cough, sore throat, fever or if you have other symptoms of any kind of contagious illness. 

The event will be 50% capacity at most. 

Ventilation in The Cube auditorium replaces the air in an hour. 

Why are we requiring masks? 

We are currently in a flu and Covid surge and we are requiring masks to protect each other - particularly those most likely to be impacted as Long Covid and the harms of flu affect marginalised people at the highest rates. We want to make The Cube more accessible to people who are currently shut out of public spaces due to a lack of airborne virus mitigations. 

Good quality (FFP2) masks are the best way to protect each other from airborne viruses such as Covid, flu and colds. These illnesses are often spread before symptoms start (and Covid is sometimes completely asymptomatic) so we need protections in addition to staying home when sick.

We Keep Us Safe!
