LOOK INTO MY EYES

+ (doors open at 18:30 for Tarot readings)
——— TRAILER HERE
Waltham Forest Cinema Project presents an evening exploring psychic phenomena and cinema, with a screening of Look Into My Eyes and tarot readings from author and artist Ari Wisner.
What happens to our loved ones when they die? What messages do they have for us and us for them? For those who are preoccupied daily with these questions, the answer lies in a visit to one of New York’s many psychics. Documentary Look Into My Eyes sits in on sessions with these psychics and their clients, into a place of profound and moving human connection.
The amazing on-site Back to Ours cafe will be open for the duration of the event serving light refreshments and non-alcoholic drinks.
Standard Tickets: £7 / Concessions: £5 (Unwaged, Over 60s, Under 18)
If you would like a tarot reading, please pre-book a slot when you buy your screening ticket.
