The devil's backbone

Seething passions, wandering ghosts, and an unexploded bomb in the courtyard fill this beautifully film by acclaimed Mexican director Guillermo del Toro, who is currently in NZ working on The Hobbit. During the Spanish Civil War, young Carlos is abandoned at a completely isolated orphanage. Rather than a horror movie, this is really more of a drama that happens to have ghosts in it. If you loved Pan’s Labyrinth, you’ll find this film equally extraordinary!

Exhibitions

'Paintings from the human archive' - new paintings by Kirsty Porter.

Painted from photographs from her past, Kirsty examines the nature of memory - does she remember the event or does she remember the photograph? A crystalline ooze appears in throughout the paintings, drawing our attention to the potent life force of each scenario.

April 24 - May 11,
