27 分钟Hello and welcome to Monocle on Culture.
I'm Robert Bounds.
On today's show, we're exploring some exciting new highlights in the realms of dance, film and art.
First,
we'll hear about a new showcase of radical Iranian films
and the fascinating stories of how many of them were found and then lovingly restored.
Then we'll head to the sunny vineyards of Provence to hear about a group exhibition of modern
and contemporary art at Chateau La Coste.
And finally,
we'll find out about a brand new dance venue in London
with a reliable old name that promises to be a new cultural beacon for the city
and a space where both the pros and the community will don their dancing shoes.
Do stay tuned.
