Venez passer une soirée dans notre cinéma et lounge, et parler de films. Nous vous offrons un verre de vin ou un jus de fruits et un truc à grignoter, mais si vous voulez autre chose; vous pouvez l'apporter. Nous allons regarder une des comédies françaises les plus populaires. Après une courte présentation, nous regarderons le film et après nous en discuterons. **The event costs £10,** but you will not be asked to pay until it is confirmed. It will run if we have **5 attendees** confirmed.

Join OverBoard to play the brilliant social deduction game Blood on the Clocktower in person at the brand new board game cafe Otter Chaos in Brixton. If you haven’t heard of Blood on the Clocktower before it is an evolution of classic party games like Mafia/Werewolf where a hidden evil team takes on the good team by lying and killing. The good team has a few tricks up their sleeve but will have to work together to deduce who the evil doers are in their midst. **This is a beginner friendly event so no experience with the game is necessary.** Please note that a gaming cover charge of \~£5 will be payable by each attendee to the venue so that we can make use of the space. We also encourage you to buy food and drink from the bar so we are supporting the business (I can highly recommend their pizzas!) If you want to know more about the rules of the game check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-aZP47Nm9g

A novice leaves her cloistered life to help a pilot on the run, becoming unexpectedly close, in what is perhaps the most underestimated film of the Borzage filmography. * Director Frank Borzage * With Ray Milland, Barbara Britton, Walter Slezak, Lucille Watson * USA 1944. 88min * Digital 4K (restoration) * Certificate PG When a US plane is shot down in occupied France, its pilot finds shelter in a convent. He encounters a young novice who agrees to help him escape the country, to save him and his secret cache of documents from the Nazis. The night casts a veil of intimacy over the couple, who develop a bond beyond physical love. Full of suspense and expressionistic chiaroscuro, this transcendental drama remains striking for its mix of thrill, torment and wonder. Restored in 4K by Universal Pictures and The Film Foundation at NBCUniversal StudioPost laboratory, from the original 35mm negative nitrate, a 35mm composite fine grain and the 35mm optical sound track negative nitrate. Special thanks to Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg. We will meet near the box office at 18:15, and go for a drink and/or snack after the film at the venue. I will book my seat about a week in advance and will add a comment to let attendees know. Dave

***😱 Slapstick horror-comedy spoofs might finally be making a comeback!*** **👋 Hi guys!** We’re gathering once again in **Bromley** for another hangout and heading back into horror party mode and hopefully reclaiming some of that humour we’ve been missing! This new instalment, directed by **Michael Tiddes** and written by the comedy legends the **Wayans Brothers**, marks the sixth entry in the **Scary Movie Series**. It serves as a **requel—part reboot, part continuation**—refreshing the franchise while keeping some continuity intact For obvious reasons, most of plot details are under wraps but the premise takes place twenty-six years after their first run-in with a masked killer, Cindy and her friends are hunted by another mad slasher. The film will act as a massive reset **[requel](https://movieweb.com/what-defines-a-requel-movie/)** spoofing a backlog of recent hit movies, pop-culture trends, and viral moments. And of course, this wouldn’t be a proper **Scary Movie** without **Anna Faris,** **Regina Hall** and some other familiar faces returning to the franchise. We'll be starting things off with **drinks at 5:30 pm** at **The Richmal Crompton Bromley** which is directly next to the Cinema. Then at **6:45pm** we head over **Vue Cinema** where we will be in **Row E,** but you can pick any seat you like. **After the film** around **9:00 pm** we'll reconvene once again for our commentary and **Letterboxd Review.** And, you can find all of the finer details, **addresses, and ticket information below this page.** So, don't miss out as we are looking forward to having a few scary laughs with you. **See you guys there** **Tom, Jayden & Faraz** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 👉 **HEADS UP** * f you **sign up** and later can’t make it, please 🙏 **drop us a quick message**(or change your RSVP) — it really helps with planning.

In the year 2044, in the age of AI, a woman named Gabrielle (Seydoux) tries to purify her DNA by purging the inherited memories of her past lives.

These three timelines have a lot of connective tissue holding them together; certain symbols and motifs appear repeatedly, not to mention Mackay’s Louis, a figure whom Gabrielle seems drawn to in each lifetime. *The Beast / La Bête* can be streamed for free on Kanopy or the Criterion Channel.

Based on the novel Roadside Picnic, it is NO picnic, but rather one of the masterpieces of world cinema. Andrei Tarkovsky's 1979 Soviet sci-fi classic, recounts the expedition of a writer and professor led by a mysterious guide called "The Stalker." to a futuristic wasteland called "The Zone." Dripping with existential dread, it continually presents strange occurrences that will have us debating the meaning of what we've just viewed right through the ending. *Stalker* (1979) can be streamed for free on HBOMax, the Criterion Channel or Kanopy. It's also available for rent on Amazon Prime and AppleTV. The Columbus Library has two copies on disc.
