SaFFlicks Film Festival - Where we Belong

Screening of LULÚ

GET YOUR TICKETS HERE: https://thecastlecinema.com/programme/112740/lulu-presented-by-cinema-mentire/ Lucas and Ludmila are young lovers living on the streets of Buenos Aires, navigating the city as if it were a board game. Lucas works collecting bones and butcher-shop scraps in a truck, spending much of his time roaming the city with a gun, firing celebratory bullets at city monuments and excited by the infinite possibilities around him and the sense of impunity that love affords him. Ludmila rolls around in a wheelchair she might not really need, avoiding her family’s responsibilities. When Ludmila finally makes a decision that leaves Lucas alone in the city, he will have to reconsider his behaviour and relationship with his gun. ***Lulú*** is a freewheeling and unruly film from prolific Argentinian director Luis Ortega, whose surreal cinematic language cuts through expected norms and tackles the tribulations of love, loyalty, and lawlessness. The screening will have a special introduction by [Cinema Mentiré](https://www.cinemamentire.co.uk/), a pop-up film club promoting Latin American cinema in the UK, and is presented in partnership with [Jellied Reels](https://www.jellied-reels.com/), which serves up monthly screenings of undeniable and undistributed cinema in London.

LSE Lecture: America as a revisionist power

The full title is: "America as a revisionist power (and what it means for the rest of the world)". This is hosted by the Phelan United States Centre (at the LSE). The LSE offer lectures that are open to the public (attendance fee applies) on a variety of subjects. Let's meet outside Holborn tube station, opposite the main entrance, on Kingsway, next to the hat stall/tree. We will walk down together at 6.10pm. Please register for your free entrance ticket QR code (Meetup attendance fee of £3 applies), they are asking a couple of questions: [https://www.lse.ac.uk/events/america-as-a-revisionist-power](https://www.lse.ac.uk/events/america-as-a-revisionist-power) Registration for this one opens on 7 Sept. I attended a number of LSE lectures and found most of them very interesting. I always learn something. And the best bit is to go for a quick drink afterwards to compare notes on what we thought, and even more importantly to catch up! I cross-posted this from my main group so others will also join.

Safflicks Sapphic Film Festival — A Month of Sapphic Cinema. Join us!

L is for... London Museum Docklands

**Join us for a visit to London Museum Docklands**, **which tells the fascinating story of London's docks and their profound impact on the city.** The museum is set in a refurbished 200-year-old sugar warehouse and reveals the long history of the capital as a port through stories of trade, migration and commerce, from Roman settlement to Docklands' regeneration. Themed state-of-the-art galleries such as ‘London, Sugar & Slavery’ and ‘Warehouse of the World’ take you on a chronological tour of the port. London's transformation into a global trading hub, the impact of immigration on its cultural tapestry, and the crucial role the docks played in wartime resilience are all highlighted in the galleries spread over three floors. Explore the dark alleyways of London’s Sailortown, an immersive display which recreates the atmosphere of the ramshackle London district, close to the docks, in the mid 19th century. Discover the recent history of the thriving area we now know as the Docklands and how, just over half a century ago, it was a derelict wasteland after the closure of London’s upriver docks. **Read more here:** **[https://www.londonmuseum.org.uk/docklands/free-galleries/](https://www.londonmuseum.org.uk/docklands/free-galleries/)** **MEET DETAILS:** **FROM 1:30pm: LONDON MUSEUM DOCKLANDS CAFE (optional)** **Address:** Ground floor cafe, London Museum Docklands, No. 1 Warehouse, Hertsmere Road, London, E15 4AL *The host will post the exact location of the table on arrival.

Comedy - "Arabs & Asians Stand-up"

👁️🎬 SAM NEILL DAY PART II: IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS

*😈* **You’d be absolutely effing mad out of your head to miss this one!** 👋 **Hey everyone!** If there was ever a horror film about a book that could bring about the end of the world, then this would probably be my ultimate choice. It was directed by the absolute legend that is **John Carpenter** and like many of this master’s films, this one began life with a struggle at the box office and a rather Marmite reception from critics. But as always, years later, horror fans rescued it from the gutter, **pulled it from obscurity** and transformed it into the **cult classic** it deserves to be today. And in honour of the late, great **Sam Neill**, we’re continuing our tribute with another of his most wonderfully unhinged performances. **The film follows** an insurance investigator searching for a hugely successful horror novelist who has mysteriously disappeared. He soon discovers that the author’s books may actually be rewriting reality itself, as the line between fiction and reality collapses and the world descends into a cosmic nightmare. **The Meetup:** We’ll be meeting at the **Prince Charles Cinema bar** at **5:30 pm**, where we’ll join those of us coming straight out of the **[Event Horizon](https://www.meetup.com/thehideoutlondon/events/316570363/?slug=thehideoutlondon&eventId=316570363&isFirstPublish=true)**[ ](https://www.meetup.com/thehideoutlondon/events/316570363/?slug=thehideoutlondon&eventId=316570363&isFirstPublish=true)**[Screening](https://www.meetup.com/thehideoutlondon/events/316570363/?slug=thehideoutlondon&eventId=316570363&isFirstPublish=true)** for drinks, a catch-up and a chat about your **favourite horror novel**. Then at **6:00 pm**, we’ll head in for **In the Mouth of Madness**. You’ll find me in seat **D14**, but feel free to pick your favourite seat. **After the film** at around **8:00 pm**, we’ll regroup to share our thoughts, discuss what we’ve just witnessed and give it our **[Letterboxd](https://letterboxd.com/movieroadhouse/) scores**. You’ll also find the **full ticket information, cinema address and map down below**, so you won’t get lost. It’s almost as if horror fans sometimes understand the source material better than everyone else. **I look forward to seeing you guys there!** **Jonny** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 👉 **HEADS UP** * If you **sign up** and later can’t make it, please 🙏 drop us a message (**or change your RSVP**) — You can also follow me **[@jonnyhideout](https://www.instagram.com/jonnyhideout/)** or our club **[@thehideoutmax](https://www.instagram.com/thehideoutmax/)** on instagram for fun updates. 🗓 **SCHEDULE BREAKDOWN** * **5:30 PM:** Drinks (Prince Charles Cinema Bar) * **6:00 PM:** Fim (Prince Charles Cinema) * **8:00 pm:** Review 🎟️ **TICKET INFO & PRICES** * **Price:** From £11:50 * **Members Price**: £14.50 * **Tickets**: [Prince Charles Cinema](https://princecharlescinema.com/film/9709921/in-the-mouth-of-madness/) 📍**VENUE ADDRESS** * **Prince Charles Cinema:** 7 Leicester Pl, London WC2H 7BY 🎬 **PLOT DETAILS** * An insurance investigator begins discovering that the impact a horror writer's books have on his fans is more than inspirational.
