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- Eraserhead (1977): FREE SCREENINGSET Social, London
There have been few cinematic debuts more singular than David Lynch's Eraserhead, which transforms the director's anxieties about parenthood into a black-and-white surrealist nightmare. It basically set Lynch up to get the Elephant Man job, and eventually Dune - but that's another story. Anyway, Eraserhead's legacy can be seen in films as diverse as The Shining, Pi and Tetsuo: The Iron Man, not to mention the works of David Firth, and it's probably also a movie where it's fun to see the reactions of people around you.

This is showing at the brilliant SET Social as part of the Peckham and Nunhead Free Film Festival (details here). It's first come, first served, but there should be plenty of room and an affordable bar to boot. The movie is slated to start at 7pm I'll be there from around half six. See you there!
