MONDAY: What’s on in London today [19/06/23]

MONDAY 19 JUNE 2023 (A–Z) // What’s on in London today across DIY, indie & alternative cinema including one-off screen events, film seasons, film festivals & our selection of new releases.

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

IN THIS WORLD d. Michael Winterbottom, 2002 + Q&A with screenwriter Tony Grisoni & readings from Pulitzer-Prize winning author Matthieu Aikin’s ‘The Naked Don’t Fear the Water’ by Toby Jones for Refugee Week at The Garden Cinema (19 JUN 20:00).

“Twenty years since its UK release, the Berlin Golden Bear-winning docudrama shows as part of Refugee Week 2023 in a benefit screening for the walking, storytelling and campaigning organisation Refugee Tales. Hosted by Gareth Evans, the screening will be followed by a Q&A with the film’s writer Tony Grisoni, and readings from Pulitzer-Prize winning author Matthieu Aikin’s The Naked Don’t Fear the Water by acclaimed actor Toby Jones.”

“The making of this astonishing film is almost as remarkable as the drama it describes. Tony Grisoni will detail how he and the director traced the route made by the young men in advance, while Toby Jones will read from Aikin’s own undercover account, as the journalist joined his Afghan friend in 2016 to make the same journey.” (The Garden Cinema)
