New release — Surviving Earth: a Bristol-based film with roots in BDP's past

A very special and unique film is coming to national cinemas on April 24th – one that attempts to explain, or at least to bear witness to, the complicated intersections between music, addiction and relationships. It has particular resonance to BDP in that its lead character, Vladimir Gajić, worked here for many years and was part of the music sessions that marked the beginnings of Creative Communities. This BFI/Film 4 funded film is insightful and poignant and well worth a watch.

Showing at The Watershed, Showcase and Odeon.

Pre-screenings + Q & A with writer/director, Thea Gajić, at The Watershed (9/4) and Odeon (10/4).

🔗Head over to the BDP blog to read more about the film and its connection with BDP

🔗The film was also featured in Drink and Drug News magazine, link is on the BDP bio.
