APRIL 2022: What’s on in London this month

Explore what’s on in London this month with our regular epic roundup of repertory film seasons & festivals.

By RADIANT CIRCUS // Twitter @radiantcircus / Instagram @radiantcircus

Welcome to our epic rep roundup for April!

BFI’s rep seasons continue with ANIME, LIV ULLMANN: FACE TO FACE, and NIGHTMARES AND DAYDREAMS: A CENTENARY CELEBRATION OF SCREENWRITER NIGEL KNEALE whilst their BIG SCREEN CLASSICS get busy contemplating a question of faith. Of this bunch, the work of Liv Ullman stands out, with the programme featuring both intros/Q&As with the actor/director and her own directorial work.

New London venue The Garden Cinema adds THE GOLDEN AGE OF FRENCH CINEMA to their opening CELEBRATING MARLON BRANDO season, whilst CLOSE-UP ON JOHN CASSAVETES begins at the Shoreditch staple. The Prince Charles welcomes ALEX WINTER: LIVE ON STAGE at the top of the month and embarks on an exploration of PRE-CODE HOLLYWOOD a little later. They’ll also be spending A LONG WEEKEND IN 1995.

Both The PCC and ICA celebrate JOACHIM TRIER’S OSLO TRILOGY and Everyman adds a string of PAUL VERHOEVEN films from 35mm to their late nights at the Screen on the Green. SEASCAPES: OUR OCEANS ON SCREEN embarks with some holiday friendly offerings at Ciné Lumière – although it’s always a pleasure to list anything with THE MUPPETS! – before voyaging into deeper waters. ICA begins a trio of special programmes under the theme CATALAN CINEMA NOW! starting this month with INNOVATIONS (to be followed by INTERSECTIONS 14 to 15 MAY and IDENTITIES 28 to 29 MAY).

A bunch of new film festivals open this month with London Independent Film Festival (01 to 10 APR), The People’s Film Festival (02 to 09 APR), South Social Film Festival – Nordic Focus (02 APR), and Spanish Spring Weekend (01 to 03 APR) all joining our listings. Doubtless I’ll be updating this list as the month unfolds.

I’ve chosen the GENESIS 23RD BIRTHDAY season as my Featured Attraction of the Month (it continues in May too…). Whilst 23 might not be one of the milestones that gets marked down in the history books, the last two years have shown we should celebrate the glories of independent cinema at every chance we get. And who in this modern world doesn’t love a cinema ticket for £2.50?!

See you in the darkness,
