Brand New Year @ Seven
After closing for
5 days to clean, decorate and fit a brand new coffee machine, Seven
re-opens with a new season of events, starting Monday 11 January, 8pm, with
a Screen Seven showing of the very moving film,Testament Of Youth.
Vera Brittain overcomes the prejudices of her family and hometown to
win a scholarship to Oxford. She falls in love with her brother’s close
friend Roland Leighton as they go to University to pursue their
literary dreams. But the First World War is looming and as the boys
leave for the front Vera realises she cannot sit idly by as her peers
fight for their country. £6
/ £5 conc.
On Tuesday 12 January, 8pm,
Café Scientifique looks at
Air Pollution. Many Asian cities are beset by smog and
although our air is much cleaner, the recent VW diesel engines scandal
has highlighted the pollution that we are exposed to in the UK.

Science at York University. Hat
Donations.

his film, 'Looking for Love'. The film-maker Shabazz looks

suitably ribald account of what’s at stake. £5. Doors 7pm.
On Saturday 16
January 8pm, Seven presents Replay, a dark
and thought-provoking comedy. Four teenagers wake up in Limbo and find
themselves at the mercy of a childish deity. Will they be able to

seventeen-year-old actor and playwright Jae Macpherson and performed by
local young actors. £3
