This week, we are joined by Cardiff-based artist and designer Beth Morris, who programmes two strange romances that explore the collision of myth, romance and memory.

Corridor of Mirrors (1948) Terence Young is best known for his work on the 007 franchise, less known for his contributions to the 1980 Saddam Hussein vanity project/biopic The Long Days. Back in 1948, he directed Corridor of Mirrors, a haunting gothic romance, distinct from the largely drab films coming out of post-war England.

Pandora and the Flying Dutchman (1951) Starring Ava Gardner and James Mason, Pandora is a stunning technicolour romance, inspired by the myth of The Flying Dutchman, which tells of a sailor cursed the travel the ocean for eternity until he can find a woman willing to die for him.
