Join us for the season launch of Pop Stars on Film. We begin with a purple themed evening via an introduction to Purple Rain and a critical examination of his work in film by Prince scholar and co-curator of the season, Dr Kirsty Fairclough. The film launched Prince’s cinematic career and propelled him into the mainstream alongside the worldwide hit soundtrack. Purple Rain was a landmark release that solidified Prince’s standing as the preeminent pop genius of his generation.
