Q + A session with filmmaker Philip Hind
THE ULTIMATE SURVIVOR is director and writer Philip Hind's first solo project, an in depth look at one of Oxford's historic and unusual landmarks; the Picture Palace cinema. The Owners, staff, cinemagoers and historians celebrate its 100th anniversary in this centennial-spanning look at how the cinema deserved the proudly bared title of the ultimate survivor. Overcoming neglect, squatters and the very real threat of demolition, the Picture Palace has proved it is not just a historical icon but also a much beloved feature of Oxford's current cultural scene. The documentary is a permanent testament to the importance of a local cinema with a bright future.
