  • Science Fiction Theatre presents: “To celebrate the 200th anniversary of the publication of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, we’re very excited to present a screening of Hammer’s first ever colour horror film, and the first of their critically acclaimed Frankenstein series.”

Lexi Film School: DO THE RIGHT THING + INTRO by Anthony Andrews at Lexi Cinema (16 JUL 18:30):

  • Spike Lee’s scorching satire on race in America feels every bit as fresh, poignant and angry as it did on release in 1989. It’s the hottest day of the year in New York City, and in one Brooklyn neighbourhood tensions are starting to boil.

  • Billy Chainsaw presents Kate Shenton’s soon to be released web series: a quirky dark comedy about a psychopath and his victim, who spend all day sitting around watching the TV – think ‘Gogglebox’ with a horror twist.
