CloseStarsuckers is a dark, satirical polemic that examines the psychological reasons behind our irrational obsession with fame, a journey through the problems that over-consumption of celebrity-dominated media has inflicted on us and our children. This is a blisteringly paced, anarchic ride which uses humour and mischief to expose the immoral, corrupt and illegal practices of some of the biggest names in the media industry.
The film has been written and directed by Chris Atkins, whose last feature documentary Taking Liberties was a critical and commercial hit and nominated for a BAFTA in 2008. Similarly hilarious and hard hitting, Starsuckers uses a combination of exclusive footage, real life stories, dazzling animation and undercover filming.

Please could you make it easier for visistors to the website to see a link to Starsuckers - we have anumber of schools/students who are interested in the film but cannot navigate to it easily from your opening page. Could you give it an icon? As an indpendent film it needs a bit of help on this. Thanks

Thanks for the feedback Vicki. Starsuckers had a front page feature in October which is still in our news section here http://www.warwickartscentre.co.uk/news/starsuckers-in-the-press/ It's also featured as soon as you hit the film button. Unfortunately we can't put everything on the front page as we have a huge range of events to let people know about.
