"August Sander (1876-1964) was one of the greatest and most influential photographers of the 20th century. During his whole career he photographed individuals and groups of people that he then classified according to their occupations and position in society. This lifelong attempt to document the German people resulted in the ambitious project entitled People of the 20th Century.

The exhibition is taken from a major collection of over 170 modern prints, recently placed on long loan to ARTIST ROOMS courtesy of Anthony d’Offay. The prints were produced from the original plates by August Sander’s grandson, Gerd Sander, who himself is a photographer and master printer. Together the collection of photographs gives a brilliant overview of Sander’s achievements as an artist, photographer and recorder of history."

"The Night of the Hunter – the only film the great actor Charles Laughton ever directed – is truly a stand-alone masterwork.

A horror movie with qualities of a Grimm fairy tale, it stars a sublimely sinister Robert Mitchum as a travelling preacher named Harry Powell, whose nefarious motives for marrying a fragile widow, played by Shelley Winters, are uncovered by her terrified young children.

Graced by images of eerie beauty and a sneaky sense of humour, this ethereal, expressionistic American classic is cinema’s most eccentric rendering of the battle between good and evil.

Film geeks will note with pleasure that Carter Burwell quoted the melody of the hymn sung by both Robert Mitchum and Lillian Gish in this film in his score for the Coens' True Grit." 

Director: Charles Laughton

Starring: Robert Mitchum, Shelley Winters, Lilian Gish, Billy Chapin, James Gleason, Sally Ann Bruce.
