York New Friends

The film buffs among you will recognise this film from 2004 but it passed me by completely at the time!

From their website “don your red beanies and climb aboard to enjoy Wes Anderson’s The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou on 35mm film at our very special screening!

With a plan to exact revenge on a mythical shark that killed his partner, Oceanographer Steve Zissou rallies a crew that includes his estranged wife, a journalist, and a man who may or may not be his son.”

RED BEANIES OPTIONAL!
