Featured attraction: VERTIGO (14 JUL 13:30, 15:50, 18:15 & 20:40), as part of HITCHCOCK WEEK at Regent Street Cinema (13 to 18 JUL): “The trouble with being the best movie of all time is that Vertigo is now an easy target for criticism. But this strange, frustrating story of a haunted pervert will always evade definition.” Rhik Samadder – The Guardian.

BLACKS BRITANNICA + PANEL at Bernie Grant Arts Centre (14 JUL 19:00 – Sold Out!):

  • In 1978, a US television company commissioned a film about the lives of black people in Britain. The film’s message was deemed to be dangerous and the film was banned. This newly remastered version is hosted by Plan C North London in collaboration with Postcolonial Films.

Double Bill: DEMONS + DEMONS 2 at Genesis Cinema (14 JUL 20:00 – Free!):

  • Settle in for a double dose of terror with Italian action-horror DEMONS and its hi-rise sequel, DEMONS 2: “The irony of watching a horror film set in a cinema in a cinema hasn’t passed us by so we’ll be in the bar with beers at the ready and pizza on tap.” Presented by Arrow Films.

PATH OF BLOOD + Q&A at Rio Cinema (14 JUL 18:30):

  • Drawn from a hoard of jihadi home-movie footage that was captured by Saudi security services, this is the story of Muslim terrorists targeting Muslim civilians and brought to justice by Muslim security agents. It is a stark reminder that all who are touched by terrorism are victimised by it.
