We welcome our friend Neal Potter to the museum for a special talk plus Q&A. "From Pit Painting to Global Exhibition,” follows his career journey from his formative years in a Derbyshire mining village, through art school and on to travelling the world designing international exhibitions and museums. Neal recalls his journey – the charity work – the lucky breaks – the sleepless nights – the lost exhibits - the crazy clients - the passionate clients - a constant desire to be creative and, the need to stay financially viable. Neal is a film-inspired designer of both Kent MOMI and the original Museum of the Moving Image, on London's Southbank. Ticket includes complimentary glass of wine or tea/coffee. There will be a free screening of Neal's favourite film, The Hunt for Red October (production designer, Terence Marsh) on Friday 5th, at 6.30pm (see EVENTS page).

SCREENING: The Hunt for Red October (1990, Dir. John McTiernan)

In support of designer Neal Potter’s talk and Q&A at the museum on Saturday 6th June (see EVENTS), Kent MOMI will screen his favourite film, THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER on June 5th. The screening also has a personal note as our curator, Joss’ father, Terence Marsh was the film’s production designer, responsible for the film's acclaimed, realistic submarine interior sets, working alongside art director William Cruse and set designer Mickey S. Michaels, for which he was nominated a BAFTA. Starring Sean Connery & Alec Baldwin, the film was nominated for a total of three BAFTAS and three Oscars, winning the latter for Best Effects. Doors open 5.30, for drinks, nibbles & classic cocktails. Film starts 6.30 with a brief introduction from the curators. Entry is free with a yearly ticket, although we suggest a small donation of £5 per person to help keep the lights on. Yearly tickets can be purchased on the door (£7.50 adult / £6.00 concessions). If you buy tickets and are subsequently unable to attend, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can give your seat(s) to someone else.
