NOW BOOKING: Films in London this month [OCTOBER 2019]

RADIANT CIRCUS is your handcrafted guide to London’s DIY, indie & alternative movie nights, film events & gallery screenings. Our latest SCREEN GUIDE helps you find repertory seasons & film festivals in London this month.

Find films in London this month by: REPERTORY SEASONS // FILM FESTIVALS

UPDATES: [10 OCT] BLACK HISTORY (EVERY) MONTH at Genesis, BLACK HISTORY MONTH & ROM COMS at Everyman Cinemas, SYSTEMS OF CARE at Deptford, & CARLOS ACOSTA’S CINE CLUB at Wimbledon Library added; [07 OCT] TNB BHM209 added; [03 OCT] WITCHES & VAMPIRES season, MIDNIGHT EXCESS, the Romanian Film Festival & UK Green Film Festival added.

Welcome to our monthly roundup.

Each month we look ahead to what we call London’s MUSEUM SHOWS, the places where you can find several attractions under one roof. Our listings are divided into repertory seasons and film festivals.

We keep you updated on all London’s one-off screenings including film clubs, meet the talent Q&As and other special events in our weekly digests and daily updates.

FEATURED ATTRACTIONS

It’s a month for horrible things and our pumpkin carving gold medal goes to the epic Halloween season at The Prince Charles, this time masquerading under the title THRILLERS & KILLERS & MONSTERS, OH MY! But we also love the smaller scale chills of HITCHCOCKTOBER (an opportunity to see THE BIRDS at The Birds, where all these films are FREE!), WITCHES & VAMPIRES at House Of Vans (more FREE screams!), HALLOWEEN AT GENESIS featuring another gorgeous 35mm screening from The Celluloid Sorceress and our very own miniature terrors in the form of a short film HALLOWEEN SPECIAL as part of LUNCHTIME FILM SOCIETY.

Speaking of small things, there are some beautifully crafted smaller seasons scattered across the month, some from expert curators such as So Mayer’s CYBERFEMINISM ON FILM at Barbican and everything that’s opening at Close-Up, as well as newer curatorial voices such as the amazing outcrop of seasons at Deptford Cinema and NFTS student programmes at various venues. The same goes for festivals: we all know the big beast in town, but don’t forget to support the smaller events where you will most certainly be welcome.

Of course, if everything that’s due to happen this month is making you feel a little grim, you can always disappear into the MUSICALS! season at BFI, never to be seen again most likely, or its smaller cousin A HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN MOVIE MUSICAL at Deptford.

Our featured attraction of the month is always one where we would love to see everything and October’s choice combines our themes because it’s small, beautifully formed and touched by terror. NFTS student Ben Driscoll’s season LIVE CULTURES screens at Close-Up. We’ll leave you with the chilling trailer for THE HELLSTROM CHRONICLE: “If any living species is to inherit the earth, it will not be man.”

See you in darkness…
