A Cult Film Curated by Memory Dance and Picture Palace North Photography by Bill Stephenson, Pete Hill.
Memory Dance teams up with Picture Palace North (PPN) to present a 30th-anniversary archive re activation of Tales From A Hard City, the iconic 1995 Sheffield documentary. Since its debut, the film has gained cult status and a legion of fans, from Jarvis Cocker to Mogwai.
With full archival access from the producers, Memory Dance will showcase newly digitised outtakes, ephemera (cuttings, posters, log-sheets), early PPN shorts, and rarely seen archive collections from photojournalist Bill Stephenson.
