I Am Martin Parr (2024) (12A)

Tickets

Since the 1970s, photographer Martin Parr has held up a sometimes tender, sometimes critical and always mischievous mirror to our times, forcing us to take a hard look at how consumer society has shaped lives in Britain.

Discover the maverick behind some of the most iconic images of the past century (including West Bay’s chip-stealing seagulls) on an intimate and exclusive road trip across England with the uncompromising Parr, whose subjects, frames and colours have revolutionised contemporary photography.

Dir. Lee Shulman, UK 2024, 68 mins
