MUSEUM SHOWS 2 // FESTIVALS

Film festivals in London today include:

GRIND SHOWS

Films in London today: THE SOUVENIR at ArtHouse Crouch End (30 AUG to 05 SEP).
Films in London today: THE SOUVENIR at ArtHouse Crouch End (30 AUG to 05 SEP).

ANIARA d. Pella Kågerman & Hugo Lilja, 2018 at Rio Cinema (01 SEP 18:30):

  • “Apocalyptic, darkly poetic and visually stunning, ANIARA balances a spectacular sense of intergalactic dread with matters more mundane as it imagines the existential crisis of a human race without a planet to call home. The alternative? A shopping mall in space.”

MEMORY: THE ORIGINS OF ALIEN d. Alexandre O. Philippe, 2019 at DocHouse (01 SEP 18:30):

  • “Everybody remembers the inspired explosive shocker scene in Alien, but not everyone knows the complex and surprising story of the film’s journey. Dan O’Bannon’s script, combined with H.R. Giger’s artwork were the creative seeds of the film, but there are deeper roots in myth and art that reach further back in time. Interviews with people close to, and involved in, the making of Alien recall the excitement of bringing it all to life, as well as lively anecdotes from the iconic scene.”

THE SOUVENIR d. Joanna Hogg, 2019 at ArtHouse Crouch End (01 SEP 12:10, 14:45 & 20:40):

  • “One of Britain’s most unique filmmakers Joanna Hogg (ARCHIPELAGO, UNRELATED) presents a deeply personal examination of her own youthful experiences in this beautifully crafted, Martin Scorsese produced portrait of self-discovery, THE SOUVENIR.”
