FS74 at Birkbeck Cinema (15 JUN 13:30 – almost SOLD OUT!):

  • “The glory days of the Film Society – of London, but, being the first, it didn’t bother to specify – were in the late 1920s. FS74 is a reconstruction of the Film Society’s 74th performance (hence the name), which took place at the Tivoli theatre, on the Strand, on 25 November 1934. Includes: NIGHT ON THE BARE MOUNTAIN; DAS ROLLENDE RAD; The Cathode Ray Oscillograph; and, ZÉRE DE CONDUITE. Projected almost entirely from celluloid prints.”

Foster; THE MUSIC BOX (1932), short directed by James Parrott; and WAY OUT WEST (1937), directed by James W. Horne. A celebration of Stan Laurel, who was born on the 16th June 1890.”

  • SUPAKINO x Amos Levin present: “The Lonely Island have left an indelible mark in contemporary pop culture, music, cinema, and the American psyche. With 2 feature films, 3 albums plus a whole bunch of viral videos under their belt, Akiva Schaffer, Andy Samberg & Jorma Taccone have redefined modern comedy. Loyal fans and curious newcomers alike are invited to celebrate two surreal, weirdly touching, and hilarious cinematic achievements. As usual, there will be clips, music, discussion and giveaways!”

US d. Jordan Peele, 2019 + Discussion with Tony Warner & Dr Michelle Asantewa at BFI Southbank (15 JUN 14:00):

  • “From the acclaimed director of GET OUT comes another slice of horror-noir. Adelaide Wilson (Lupita Nyong’o) returns with her family to the beachfront home where she grew up. Haunted by a past trauma, she grows increasingly concerned that something bad is going to happen – and her fear soon becomes a reality. After the screening, Tony Warner will lead a discussion exploring the history and representation of African Americans in the horror genre.”
