FILMS IN LONDON TODAY

SINGLE-O EXHIBITS

DAY OF WRATH 35mm + INTRO by Geoff Andrew at BFI Southbank (11 JUL 18:15):

Denmark, the 17th century: an elderly parson, recently cursed by someone he sent to the stake, marries the daughter – roughly the same age as his own son – of another woman suspected of witchcraft. Supernatural superstition and sensual, earthly passion collide in this tale of love’s torment.

GETEVEN at The Book Club (11 JUL 19:00 – POSTPONED TO 24 JUL!):

Crap Film Club presents: A “fast-moving, multi-dimensional action romance”, GETEVEN (aka “Road to Revenge”, aka “Champagne & Bullets”) is the passion project and singular vision of LA-based attorney and struggling actor John De Hart, a man who very much belongs in the same category of egomaniac as Tommy Wiseau.

The Machine That Kills Bad People presents: MUNDANE HISTORY + THE DRAGON IS THE FRAME at ICA (11 JUL 18:45):

A bi-monthly film club programmed by Erika Balsom, Beatrice Gibson, Maria Palacios Cruz and Ben Rivers. Director Anocha Suwichakornpong’s debut feature MUNDANE HISTORY (Jao Nok Krajok) is an intimate tale of family and care in contemporary Thailand that is awash with phantasmagorical undertones. Also, THE DRAGON IS THE FRAME, a 16mm short film by New York based artist and filmmaker Mary Helena Clark.
