PUNK ATTITUDE & BODY SONG

BEST OF BRITISH MUSIC SPECIAL 



This Sundays will be a music special to remember with experimental punk LOCEAN, a band on the up with their original take on the art of performance, they captivate and enchant as they tare apart you senses while re-inventing Punk. On the film side we start with PUNK ATTITUDE by the legendary DON LETTS  punk inspired a generation of poets, filmmakers, designers, creatives and artists traveling from the streets of London to the avenues of New  York. Re-inventing the music scene and redefining the fashion that surrounds it threatened the establishment and brought about an independent DIY attitude.
Next up is BODY SONG an epic vision of love, sex and death made possible by archive footage spanning a hundred years of cinema from around the world with a mesmeric score by Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead. A night of great music live and on film with the usual free popcorn and rum.

THE BLACK PANTER & HEROSTRATUS

PART TWO: BEST OF BRITISH

This week looks at the media with the cult low budget true-crimes re-construction movie leading up to the subsequent kidnap and murder of the heiress Lesley Whittle by Donald Nelson. BLACK PANTHER is an intense claustrophobic journey back to seventies England a brilliant piece of filmic history as well as a British cult classic. Next up is HEROSTRATUS Don Levy's surreal take on the power of marketing when a young poet hires a marketing to turn his suicide into a media spectacle, the film takes a reactionary twist in typical Levy style, a marriage of art and narrative and not forgetting Helen Mirren. With the usual free popcorn and rum.
