FEATURED ATTRACTION

Powell & Pressburger: The Matter Of Britain Lecuture by Professor Ian Christie at Ciné Lumière (11 NOV 18:00):

  • “World War Two set British filmmakers a challenge: to be relevant and entertaining; to inspire without patronising. Powell and Pressburger brought wit and imagination to their task, questioning what Britain stood for, warts and all. Followed by: THE LIFE AND DEATH OF COLONEL BLIMP d. Michael Powell & Emeric Pressburger, 1943 (11 NOV 19:30).

NEW AT RADIANT CIRCUS

Films in London this month: SCHOOL DAZE, part of MUSICALS! at BFI (18 NOV).

To help you plan ahead, we’ve posted our epic roundup of London’s repertory seasons & film festivals for the month of November.

Maybe it’s the changeable weather, maybe it’s the General Election or maybe we’re just getting tired at this time of year, but our feel-good featured attraction of the month just has to be MUSICALS! at BFI. The ongoing season goes into hyperdrive this month with singalongs, giant screen events at BFI IMAX and a host of strands and special features. The perfect way to escape the November gloom.
