Sunday in Hell screening

A Sunday in Hell, with intro and Q&A by William Fotheringham 

A rare cinema screening of one of the greatest sports documentaries of all time: Jorgen Leth's classic 1970s film about Paris-Roubaix, cycling's toughest one-day race.

Leth's revolutionary film-making techniques, partly inspired by his art-house background, capture the unique atmosphere of the race, as riders led by Eddy Merckx take on the gruelling, cobble-strewn course across northern France on a hot, dusty day in 1976.

The screening will be introduced by The Guardian's William Fotheringham, who is the author of a behind-the-scenes book on the making of the film, and many other acclaimed cycling books. There will also be an audience Q&A after the screening.

We will be showing the original, slightly longer Danish version, with English subtitles.
