Basquiat, on Wednesday, September 20, starring Jeffrey Wright, Benicio Del Toro and David Bowie, depicts early 1980s New York, capturing Basquiat's meteoric rise to fame, from living in a cardboard box, decorating New York streets with memorable cryptic graffiti, to selling his neo-expressionistic art to the highest bidder - all before his untimely death aged 27.
The festival film programme ends with Ingrid Bergman: In Her Own Words on Saturday, September 23.
It features the golden girl of Hollywood’s golden age - a three time Academy Award winner best remembered for her roles in Casablanca (1942), Notorious (1946) and Autumn Sonata (1978) to name just a few.
This engrossing study and intimate portrait is told through Bergman’s personal diaries, letters and photos, and lively Super 8 film footage, mostly shot by the actress herself.
