Her latest film, LAFVA-funded The Madness of the Dance (2006) is a celebration of mass manias and individual obsessions which journeys through an array of bizarre incidents.
Following the screening Morley will be in discussion with Helen de Witt, Festival Producer at the BFI.

Offshore follows a 14hr 17min cross channel relay swim by film-maker Andrew Kötting, his brothers, friends and family. Witnessed by Iain Sinclair and narrated by Eden Kötting the film starts with Kötting's coincidental discovery and hire of the light vessel 'Gallivant', and revisits the original coastline road-movie Gallivant.
Following the screening Andrew Kötting will be in discussion with writer Iain Sinclair.
Tickets are available from the NFT box office and the NFT website.

- Fine Art to Film*

In a panel discussion groundbreaking artists and film-makers, including LAFVA-funded Carol Morley, Clio Barnard and Miranda Pennell, will show extracts of their work.
