Drawn from a cache of personal video recordings from the past 22 years, director Steve Loveridge has chronicled the remarkable journey of critically-acclaimed artist, M.I.A. – from refugee immigrant to pop star. Described by Sight & Sound as "a vibrant and valuable study that gets satisfyingly under the skin of the refugee turned pop star," Matangi / Maya / M.I.A. details life as Matangi, daughter of the founder of Sri Lanka's Tamil resistance; Maya, a precocious and creative immigrant teenager in London, and M.I.A., one of the most recognisable, outspoken and provocative voices in music today.
This weekend the Sundance award-winning documentary, Matangi / Maya / M.I.A. opens and the Showcase Cinema at West Quay has screenings on Friday and Sunday (28 and 30 September). We understand that if you quote 'Birds Eye View' when booking at the Cinema a discount will be applied to the ticket price. This offer is subject to availability and isn't available for pre-booking.

This summer at City Eye Film School, explore how colour is used in filmmaking to add an extra layer of meaning and emotion to your story. From costume and props to background settings and lighting, the decision about what colours are shown and how you use them on screen is really important. Come and join in the fun in City Eye’s new production facility at Studio 144, where you will use professional filmmaking equipment to create your own movie! Working in groups according to age, ability and friendships you will learn all aspects of the filmmaking process - from story idea to editing. As part of these film school workshops, you can also work towards a Discover Arts Award.
