THE MAN WHO LAUGHS d. Paul Leni, 1928 + LIVE ACCOMPANIMENT by The Meg Morley Trio at The 1901 Arts Club (14 MAR 19:30):

  • Southbank Silents presents: “Made at the end of the silent era by a cast and crew largely made up of German émigrés to Hollywood, THE MAN WHO LAUGHS (1928) is a fascinating mix of styles as European expressionism and Victor Hugo’s story collide with Hollywood’s taste for swashbuckling adventure.”

WHAT MEN WANT d. Adam Shankman, 2019 + STANDUP by Richard Blackwood at Genesis Cinema (14 MAR 21:00):

  • The New Black Film Collective presents: “Inspired by the Nancy Meyers hit romantic comedy WHAT WOMEN WANT, this film follows the story of a female sports agent (Taraji P. Henson) who has been constantly boxed out by her male colleagues. When she gains the power to hear mens’ thought, she is able to shift the paradigm to her advantage.”

Women Amateur Filmmakers In The Silent Era – 3 Films + LIVE ACCOMPANIMENT + Q&A at The Cinema Museum (14 MAR 19:30):

  • “Since 2015, the Women Amateur Filmmakers in Britain project has uncovered and digitised over 100 films made between 1928 and 1988. Tonight, the WAF project presents three of the earliest silent films in its collection, with new soundtracks composed by Laura Rossi.”

BORDER d. Ali Abassi, 2018 at Arthouse Crouch End (14 MAR 15:15 & 17:50):

  • “Customs officer Tina is known for her extraordinary sense of smell. It’s almost as if she can sniff out the guilt on anyone hiding something. But when Vore, a suspicious-looking man, walks past her, her abilities are challenged for the first time ever.”

RAY & LIZ d. Richard Billingham, 2018 at ICA (14 MAR 16:20 & 18:30):

  • “Photographer Richard Billingham makes his feature debut, a fragmentary story of a family barely getting by in Thatcher’s Britain. Ray, isolated in a tower block, recalls moments of his earlier life as he (Justin Salinger) and Liz (Ella Smith) spend his redundancy pay, smoking, drinking and seldom leaving the house.”
