Magical History Tour – No Man's Lands and Shady Underbellies in Film

Gangsters, corruption and dodgy dealings but also solitude, isolation and emptiness are the watchwords for the epoch- and genre-straddling overview of cinematic no man's lands and seedy underbellies we are presenting in October's Magical History Tour. The series maps out a diverse mix of different universes, each with their own specific aesthetic and dramatic topography. What unites them is how they show that the parameters of social coexistence or human relationships have come apart at the seams and give an impression of just how wafer-thin the boundary between the centre and the periphery can often be.
