Gigs

The structure of Timecode is what makes it famous but even without that, it's an absorbing film about a group of people in and around the movie business in Hollywood. Mike Figgis (Leaving Las Vegas) directs an ensemble cast that includes but is not limited to Salma Hayek, Stellan Skarsgård, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Kyle MacLachlan, Saffron Burrows, Holly Hunter, Julian Sands and Leslie Mann. So, what about that structure? It's a one-shot, heavily improvised ensemble piece filmed with up to four handheld cameras, each eventually taking up a quarter of the screen as its characters interact with each other in real time. Each camera follows a character or characters, and you can track the events of the film on any of the split screens, but it doesn't become overwhelming because only one has sound at any one time. Trust me, it works! It's also a film that really benefits from the big screen, since you have plenty of space to see everything at once. This is going to (probably) be a one-off screening where Figgis mixes the cameras/sound live, which I take to mean we might see a completely unique version? Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icUyG8ZdX04 Tickets [here](https://whatson.bfi.org.uk/Online/default.asp?BOparam::WScontent::loadArticle::permalink=timecode-live-intro&BOparam::WScontent::loadArticle::context_id=), I'm in J13. Figgis will be in conversation with Mark Jenkins, the terrific British director who made Bait and Enys Men, from half six and you can buy a joint ticket for £27.50. Otherwise, let's meet at eight for a pre-drink in the NFT Bar upstairs.

Spring is properly kicking in, and for our April meetup, we’re heading back to a crowd favorite: **The Light Bar** near Liverpool Street.

We'll have **two** **experienced guitarists** (base and electric)**,** a **drummer** who also do **backing vocals** to help out if you get lost. **=== Venue & Itinerary ===** We are back at our Camden venue with the band offering excellent choice of songs. Early on we will meet around the bar area and once the first song hits most of us will move closer to the front stage to dance and singalong to the tracks so come on time for early intros - when the band starts it gets pretty loud. I will share my number on the eve and update in the comments section on whereabouts. **=== MUSIC ONLY EVENTS ===** For music fans who want to join mostly free music events in London, I’ve created a WhatsApp group.

Jake Scully is an actor in a slump. He can't get or keep a job, his girlfriend has been cheating on him and to cap it all off, he suffers from crippling claustrophobia. Things seem to be looking up when a friend from his acting class offers him a cushy housesitting gig, where he finds himself besotted by a beautiful neighbour. After seeing her being abused, he tries to intervene, only to get drawn into a mysterious and violent world where the rules seem to be constantly in motion. This may not quite be the biggest Hitchcock ripoff Brian de Palma's ever made\*, but Body Double is probably the most de Palma movie he ever made, an erotic film noir that asks the audience to examine their own voyeuristic tendencies as they judge Scully for his. The movie itself is often ludicrous but never less than watchable, and it has at least two absolute crackerjack scenes. Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_B6KEJD605M This is showing as part of Violet Hour, the Castle's season of LA neo film noirs flicks. Tickets available [here](https://castlecinema.admit-one.co.uk/?p=tickets&perfCode=15480), I'm in D4. Let's grab a drink in their lovely bar at half eight and head in after that. \*That would be 1976's Obssession. Check out [the trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYkV1s9hM-Q) if you don't believe me.

I haven't been out dancing late in a while, and since tickets for the Shacklewell's all-Aussie club night on May 1 are now past the £11 mark, I thought this, on the same night, would be the best option. I've actually wanted to try out Weird Disco for ages now. The music is a mix of genuine disco, weird guitar stuff, other decent 70s tunes and newer dancey stuff. Plus, Paper Dress Vintage is a fun venue. You might want to dress up thematically, but as this is the start of the May bank holiday, why not make the most of it? There are a limited number of free tickets and they're available [here](https://dice.fm/partner/tickets/event/xedv23-weird-disco-club-night-1st-may-paper-dress-vintage-london-tickets?dice_id=8946500&dice_channel=web&dice_tags=organic&dice_campaign=Paper+Dress+Vintage&dice_feature=mio_marketing&_branch_match_id=1571962547196567213&utm_source=web&utm_campaign=Paper+Dress+Vintage&utm_medium=mio_marketing&_branch_referrer=H4sIAAAAAAAAA8soKSkottLXz8nMy9ZLyUxO1UvL1Q9PMbU0TDI1MzQ0MLOvK0pNSy0qysxLj08qyi8vTi2ydcsEiuVXAADPlSU5PAAAAA%3D%3D). We can grab a drink round the corner at half ten and maybe head in afterwards.
