*New date scheduled when hopefully the weather is better and less rainy! Join our group for a safe, friendly evening walk for anyone who prefers to walk in company after dark. Research shows that many people avoid evening walks due to safety concerns, especially in darker months. Walking together makes the experience safer, more enjoyable and far more social - for both humans and dogs. The walk: We’ll meet at Gospel Oak overground, take an atmospheric route up to Highgate (approx 45 mins) and finish with a cosy drink at the Woodman pub (next to Highgate overground and super dog friendly) Come walk, get your steps in, chat and unwind! * Please note that by attending this event, participants acknowledge they are responsible for their dogs behaviour at all times. All dogs must remain under the supervision and control of their owners.

La película empieza a las dos de la tarde; no hay anuncios ni tráilers de otras películas, dura hora y media y después nos tomaremos algo para hablar de lo que nos ha parecido. This first feature film by Cuba's godfather of cinema, Tomás Gutiérrez Alea, is a cunning adaptation of a comic novel from the early years of the USSR by Ilf and Petrov. The madcap plot concerns the hunt for family jewels hidden by a wealthy Cuban matriarch before she died, in one of a set of 12 dining chairs which have been sold off individually. Son-in-law Hipólito and his former chauffeur Oscar both embark on a desperate adventure to find the ‘treasure’ before each other or the state does. They struggle to understand the new Cuban society, its rejection of class status, individual wealth and not to mention the maze of new official state organisations – a mix of real and imagined. When the movie was made, the revolution in Cuba was only 2 years old, filming had to be paused in April 1961 when the US attacked at Playa Girón, and the impact of the new US blockade was overwhelming. For a newly liberated country in those circumstances to be able to laugh at itself in this joyful way is astonishingly confident. Conventions of silent movies, slapstick, animation and social realism are all evident in this unmissable first comedy of the revolution.
