The Railway Hotel’s Sunday Night Cinema presents the award-winning film, In The Devil and Daniel Johnston.



Directed in 2005 by Jeff Feuerzeig, it tells a real story of a manic-depressive genius singer/songwriter/artist, Daniel Johnston.

The America’s most unlikely pop phenomenon and ‘outsider’ visual artist, Johnston’s career has spanned over three decades. He has spent the last twenty-three years exposing his heartrending tales of unrequited love, cosmic mishaps and existential torment to an ever-growing international cult audience, and as a result has been hailed as an American original akin to blues-man Robert Johnson and country legend Hank Williams. Read more about the film on its official WEBSITE.
