Native New Yorkers know to expect the unexpected, but who could have predicted that a man would stroll between the towers of the World Trade Centre? French high-wire walker Philippe Petit did just that on August 7th, 1974. Petit’s success may come as a foregone conclusion, but British filmmaker James Marsh’s pulse-pounding film still plays more like a thriller than a non-fiction documentary.
The last outing of the Film Club was a resounding success, with popcorn and cinematic enjoyment galore. Come and find out what all the fuss is about – admission is free and everyone’s invited.
