Welcome to another epic roundup of what’s on in London this month!

BFI Southbank’s headline season for June is one OF SIN & SALVATION: THE CINEMA OF ROBERT BRESSON, ably supported by their Big Screen Classics strand examining the many filmmakers influenced by the French master, AFTER BRESSON… . Their other new seasons include JUDY GARLAND: A STAR IS REBORN and a short tribute to MENELIK SHABAZZ – FOR THE PEOPLE.

The Garden Cinema – rapidly becoming a reliable source of in-depth film seasons – continues their celebration of onscreen legends with ANNA MAGNANI, this time in collaboration with CinemaItaliaUK, and then turns their attention to the dark side of human nature with a season of FILM NOIR.

COLLECTIVE MOBILISATION continues a collaboration between ICA and cutting-edge Portuguese production companies, TERRATREME and Uma Pedra no Sapato, whilst JOURNEYS ACROSS AFRO-FUTURISM looks at how this intersectional aesthetic has become manifest on film at Barbican (a similarly themed season arrives at BFI next month with IN THE BLACK FANTASTIC).

Everyman Screen On The Green continues their late night run of 35mm screenings on Saturdays (repeated early on Wednesday mornings!) with 80S CINEMA ON 35MM, whilst their Belsize Park branch scorns travel disruption with an easier way to fly, WORLD CINEMA E-PASSPORT. Not to be left out, the Picturehouse chain continues their season dedicated to the scores of MORRICONE.

Finally, I’ve got sun-burnt skin in two games this summer, starting with my new weekly season of B-Movies at Genesis Cinema, BAR TRASH, which sees my Blu-ray hoarding alter ego TOKEN HOMO indulging a love of exploitation cinema on shiny discs (tickets just £1!). Then, Queer Horror Nights contributes to a sensational SUMMER OF SCI-FI at The Castle Cinema, drawing on contributions from many of their resident film clubs.

Slapping on the SPF50 and heading outdoors, THE LUNA CINEMA rejoins ours listings with a single screening of STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE this month at Regent’s Park Theatre. Their programme really gets going in July and August. ROOFTOP FILM CLUB is already well underway of course and has recently put July screenings on sale at both their Peckham and Stratford locations.

I’m a little short of festivals so far this month (with one notable exception I’ll mention in a bit…) but there’ll be big opening nights for London Indian Film Festival (23 JUN to 05 JUL) and Sundance Film Festival: London (09 to 12 JUN) heading to the capital’s red carpets soon. Check back for updates.

My Featured Attraction of the Month goes to THE WAVE: ITALIAN WOMEN FILMMAKERS, a three-way collab between Cinecitta, the Istituto Italiano di Cultura and Ciné Lumière that celebrates women filmmakers from Italy over one action-packed long weekend (15 to 19 JUN). As well as a combination of new, classic and one silent film, the programme pairs every feature with a rarely-seen short animation film also directed by a woman. Which makes it our kind of music.

See you in the darkness,

THE WAVE: ITALIAN WOMEN FILMMAKERS at Ciné Lumière

“If only a handful of women reached international recognition in the twentieth century, a new ‘wave’ of Italian female directors has started to garner prestigious awards from major film festivals in the past decade.”

“The Wave is a festival aiming to showcase the outstanding fiction and documentary films of directors such as Alice Rohrwacher, Emma Dante or Chiara Bellosi, along with tributes to the pioneers who paved the way and an homage to the late actor Monica Vitti, the ‘Queen of Italian cinema’.”

Each feature-length film will also be preceded by rarely seen short animation films directed by women as well.
