Oxide Ghosts: The Brass Eye Tapes

Michael Cumming, director of cult comedy series Brass Eye, screens his behind-the-scenes film.

Made from hundreds of hours of unseen and behind the scenes footage from his personal archive, Oxide Ghosts shares insights into the process of making the legendary TV series Brass Eye. Michael directed the series and pilots and, over a two-year period, witnessed the highs and lows from a very personal perspective. The film carries the blessing of Chris Morris and provides a unique glimpse of his extraordinary working practices.

At these special shows, in his introductions and post film Q&As, Michael both builds and shatters Brass Eye myths.
