David Cronenberg Season at Vue Manchester Printworks, City Centre 16 February — 30 March 2017 Tickets from £7.00 — Book now

Canadian auteur David Cronenberg’s films sit in that sweet spot between genre movie and art film. Deeply disturbing, with graphic violence, gore and traditionally generic plots, they also burst with their director’s ideas regarding bodily transformation, technology and identity. Excitingly for Manchester film fans, Grimm Up North will present four of Cronenberg’s best early to mid-period works at Manchester’s Odeon this February and March.
