Marc Eliot’s Art of Film

“This tale of a failing network that feeds on the mental breakdown of one of its anchors, cannibalising itself for ratings, feels as savagely relevant now as it did when it was released nearly 40 years ago.”
-Times (UK)

Part of a new cycle of Marc Eliot’s Art of Film, based on the American New Wave, Network is a mind-bending black comedy. Guest curator of film Marc Eliot has recorded pre- and post- talks for a deeper dive into the film.
