WED 10, 6pm, IIFF IN THE CLUB Film Screening, “BURNING AN ILLUSION” - Pat, an ordinary London girl with a caring family, a job she enjoys & her own flat, seeks nothing more than to settle down to a life of married, middle-class conformity. Her cosy world is jolted when she meets Del (Victor Romero), a charming & vaguely discontented toolmaker who soon moves in & then loses his job, causing them both to challenge their assumptions about each other & their aspirations. Burning an illusion, the pioneering first feature from Menelik Shabazz, marks a coming of age for black British cinema.  A film about transformation & identity, this sensitive & entertaining love story traces the emotional and political growth of a young black couple in Thatcher’s London.
