What we’re about
This is for people who are into new bands and old films, particularly cult and alternative stuff that's relatively affordable. C'mon, do you really want to join two different groups? We also show social online films: we watch something good (and preferably free) online and hang out via WhatsApp while it's on.
We're an open and friendly group, so if you have interesting taste and a willingness to organise people, collar me at an event because I'm looking to build up a group of hosts who are into a diverse range of stuff. In the meantime, if there's something you want to go to, say so in the Discussions and I'll see what I can do.
Three other points: 1) If you want to go to something it's best to book early, these events often sell out (yes, even the movies), 2) If you come to an event and can't find anyone, post on the event page and we'll look for you, and 3) If you can't make it, make sure to change your RSVP to No beforehand because we have a three strikes policy for no shows - as in three strikes and you're out.

See all- A Tale of Sorrow and Sadness (1977)Prince Charles Cinema, London
You wouldn't guess it by the film's title, but A Tale of Sorrow and Sadness is a surreal, anarchic movie by cult Japanese director Seijun Suzuki that looks and sounds amazing to boot.
Professional model Reiko Sakuraba is groomed by a magazine editor to be a top women's golfer, something she actually manages to achieve. But with great fame and recognition comes unwanted attention, particularly when one of her admirers starts blackmailing her over a crime she would like to keep secret. It's social satire meets crazed stalker movie meets Japanese B-movie.
This trailer is absolutely killer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alGImXB3W6g
Tickets here, I'm in C6. We can meet outside afterwards and go for a drink somewhere nearby.
- Arushi JainCorsica Studios, Camberwell
Arushi Jain's music combines classical Indian music with lush synths to create soundscapes that evoke longing and emotional exploration. Yep, it's one of those kinds of gigs! This is taking place at Corsica Studios underneath the railway arches of Elephant and Castle, where I saw a bunch of cool experimental shows when I was younger. I honestly can't wait to go back.
Oh yeah, you probably want to see some music videos. Well, she doesn't have any, at least none that I can find. But here's what her stuff sounds like:
