UPDATE: This event is now SOLD OUT.
Watch Glasgow-set sci-fi film-noir Death Watch in the subterranean screening room of Merchant City’s newly renovated ISO HQ building.
The Merchant city features prominently in this cult classic by Bernard Tavernier. Harvey Keitel plays a reporter with a camera implanted in his brain. He secretly records the final days of a terminally ill writer (Romy Schneider), to be broadcast as a form of twisted entertainment. With its satirical prophecy of reality TV, media paranoia, surveillance and celebrity, this chilling film is more appropriate now than ever.
Part of the Merchant City Festival.
Complimentary drinks provided by Heverlee Beer.
