preview – censor+ Q&A with director Prano Bailey-Bond Wednesday 11 August, 6.20pm As a film censor working in 1980s Britain, Enid (Niamh Algar) spends her days poring over grainy footage of gore-filled video nasties. But when one assignment triggers flashbacks of a childhood trauma, she is drawn on a quest to unravel the mystery of its origins. Prano Bailey-Bond’s disquieting debut feature is a blackly comic, meta-minded meditation on censorship, violence and the uneasy borderlands between fact and fiction. Also starring Nicholas Burns, Clare Perkins, Vincent Franklin, Michael Smiley and Adrian Schiller.
