Pandora and The Flying Dutchman is writer, producer and director Albert Lewin’s lushly romantic Technicolor visualisation of the often-told legend of the sea. A glamorous Ava Gardner is Pandora, who falls hard for the charismatic James Mason as Hendrik, a 17th-century seaman eternally condemned to sail the oceans. Unavailable theatrically for many years and never available on Home Entertainment, the film has now been beautifully restored.

This screening will be followed by a live on-stage Q&A with Angela Allen, moderated by John Wischmeyer.
