Following our last rip-roaring City Pop Summer, it’s once again time to chuck on your summer gear - Hawaiian prints and all - and dig out your daytime dance moves.

DJ Natsu returns to Genesis to serve up a starter of City Pop and other Japanese gems, followed by a main course of vintage Western funk, soul, rare groove and even a dash of Northern Soul for seasoning.

Wash that all down with a HAPPY HOUR 2 FOR 1 drink offer and get set to get down!

London-based DJ Natsu fell in love with City Pop after his first trip around Japan in 2014 and has been digging for treasure since. With hordes of incredible musicians and pioneering production that still sounds fresh today, City Pop holds a mirror to 70s and 80s Japan and reflects post-war optimism, the final years of Showa and the progression, glamour and opulence of the soon-to-burst bubble era. City Pop makes us yearn to return somewhere we've never even known. In a 21st century determined to lob us endless challenges, it lets us cocoon ourselves in the comfort of nostalgia and escape to a safer, simpler and more sincere place. The only essentials to pack? Your dancing shoes, of course

About Sistah Space

Founded in November 2015, Sistah space is an award winning community-based non-profit initiative created to bridge the gap in domestic abuse services for African heritage women and girls. The Sistah space is a specialist charity that supports African & Caribbean heritage women affected by domestic and sexual abuse, UK wide. Founded as a response to the tragic murder of Valerie Forde and her 22-month old daughter 'baby RJ’ by Valerie’s ex-partner (and baby RJ's father) in 2014. This catastrophic event highlighted the need for an organisation to tackle domestic abuse in African heritage families and was the catalyst for the creation of Sistah space. Through their expertise in providing support around domestic & sexual abuse, Sistah space addresses the specific needs of African & Caribbean heritage survivors of abuse by tackling the intersectionality of racism and gender based violence.

“UNASHAMEDLY SILLY!” (Dusted Off)

BAR TRASH celebrates our 3rd year and 10th sensational season with WE ARE TRASH!, a fan-made mixtape of cult and chaotic cinema (May to Aug 2025).

One of the most common audience requests for future seasons of BAR TRASH was ‘more world cinema’. This gave Token Homo a great excuse to explore screen cultures of other nations with an un-proud history of exploitation cinema. Countries we are visiting this season include: Turkey (THE SWORD AND THE CLAW); Italy (DON’T TORTURE A DUCKLING); Japan (LONE WOLF AND CUB); and now India (we’ve already been to Mexico and hope to visit the Philippines soon!).

Ranjit S. Ruprai is creator of cult film night SUPAKINO and co-owner of new boutique blu-ray distributor, The Cloud Door, specialising in South Asian cinema. Token Homo started screening films with Ranjit back in 2019, so who better to introduce our first ever Bollywood title? BHOOT BUNGLA (1965) is a bit like HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL (1959) with extra songs, dancing, and slapstick. Celebrate its 60th anniversary with 2 intervals, free chai and samosas.

Polite notice: We are showing BHOOT BUNGLA with subtitles from the best available digital source. Our screening will include 2 intervals and an earlier start time than usual.

Amid the violence, he finds forbidden love with Adunni (Atlanta Bridget Johnson), a mixed-heritage house slave whose strength and defiance make her a constant target of Lady Catherine (Alex Franklyn), the plantation owner’s bitter and jealous wife.

When Adunni is accused of witchcraft in a scheme fueled by Catherine and her cunning maidservant Toro (Genevieve Edwin), the fragile order of the plantation shatters. As unrest turns to open rebellion, Atanda is drawn into the world of the Maroons, a rebel society of escaped slaves led by a mysterious and powerful priestess (Faithia Williams Balogun), whose vision of liberation forces him to confront his past - and his destiny.

Nazis turn to a Jewish historian for help in battling the ancient demon they have freed from its prison.

“THEY WERE ALL DRAWN TO THE KEEP!”

BAR TRASH celebrates our 3rd year and 10th sensational season with WE ARE TRASH!, a fan-made mixtape of cult and chaotic cinema (May to Aug 2025).

Some films you can’t resist, and Michael Mann’s self-described “Freudian fairytale on the nature of Fascism” has been appearing on our audience suggestion cards since we launched them way back in season 3 (TRASH OR TREASURE?). But don’t let Mann’s reputation as a master make you think we’ve veered to the dark side of ‘quality cinema’. THE KEEP has a production history as troubled as any we’ve ever shown at BAR TRASH!

Set in Romania during World War II, THE KEEP follows a group of Nazi soldiers who unleash a malevolent supernatural force after setting up camp in an ancient stone fortress in the Carpathian Mountains. Adapted from a novel by F. Paul Wilson, THE KEEP features a stunning score by Tangerine Dream, jaw-dropping special effects (completed after the death of supervisor Wally Veevers), and a dreamlike narrative caused, in part, by directorial indecision, extensive re-shoots, and radical re-editing by the studio to reduce the run time… Strap in for a wild ride to the dark side.

Polite notice: We are showing THE KEEP with subtitles from the best available digital source.

Complicit: A Michael Haneke Retrospective at Genesis Cinema. George, host of a television show focusing on literature, receives videos shot on the sly that feature his family, along with disturbing drawings that are difficult to interpret. He has no idea who has made and sent him the videos. Progressively, the contents of the videos become more personal, indicating that the sender has known George for a long time.

1995's ‘Clockers’ is a hidden gem in Spike Lee's film catalogue. Gritty, eagle-eyed and thrilling – the Martin Scorsese-produced gem recounts the story of Strike (Mekhi Phifer), a street kid in Brooklyn caught in a tightening snare of moral conflict and systemic decay. Adapted from Richard Price's novel, the film operates as a fly-on-the-wall crime thriller, social critique and existential drama all at once. Celebrating its 30th birthday this September, ‘Clockers’ remains a cult classic with a rolodex that still cuts: a brooding score by Terence Blanchard, songs from hip-hop stars DJ Premier, Jeru the Damaja and O.C. and cinematography that bleeds urgency. Oh, and visually, the movie’s got more style than a Pinterest board.

The Independent Horror Society return with the third edition of the 666 Short Film Challenge.

Classic films back on the big screen in 35mm. Akira Kurosawa's final masterpiece, Ran is a reworking of Shakespeare's King Lear, set in feudal Japan.

Ran tells the story of Hidetora Ichimonji (Tatsya Nakadai – Yojimbo, Kagemusha) an aging warlord who, after spending his life consolidating his empire, decides to abdicate and divide his Kingdom amoungst his three sons Taro (Akira Terao - Letter from the Mountain, Dreams), Jiro (Jinpachi Nezu – The Man in White, Red Shadow: Akakage) and Saburo (Daisuke Ryu - Tono monogatari, Gojo reisenki: Gojoe).

When Saburo voices concerns about the wisdom of his father's plan, claiming that treachery within the family will be inevitable, Hidetora mistakes these comments for a threat and when his servant Tango comes to Saburo's defense, he banishes both of them. This allows Taro and Jiro to take the reigns of power unopposed, leading to a brutal and bloody struggle for the absolute power of the warlord.

Majestic in scope, Ran is a profound examination of the folly of war and the crumbling of one family under the weight of betrayal, greed, and the insatiable thirst for power.

Presented by Cult Classic Collective the screening is followed by a panel discussion with Nick Walker. South Korean filmmaker Park Chan-wook directed this violent and offbeat story of punishment and vengeance. Oh Dae-su (Choi Min-sik) is a husband and father whose reputation for womanizing is well known. One day, for reasons he doesn't understand, Oh Dae-su finds himself locked up in a prison cell, with no idea of what his crime was or whom his jailers may be. With a small television as his only link to the outside world and a daily ration of fried dumplings as his only sustenance, Oh Dae-su struggles to keep his mind and body intact, but when he learns through a news report that his wife has been killed, he begins a long and difficult project of digging an escape tunnel with a pair of chopsticks. Before he can finish -- and after 15 years behind bars -- Oh Dae-su is released, with as little explanation as when he was locked up, and he's soon given a wad of money and a cellular phone by a bum on the street. Emotionally stunted but physically strong after 15 years in jail, Oh Dae-su struggles to unravel the secret of who is responsible for locking him up, what happened to his wife and daughter, and how to best get revenge against his captors.

This is a special centenary edition of Sergei Eisenstein’s legendary Battleship Potemkin featuring the celebrated score by Pet Shop Boys. A fixture in the critical canon almost since its premiere, Eisenstein’s film about a 1905 naval mutiny was revolutionary in both form and content. Battleship Potemkin is renowned for its dynamic compositional strength and editing of such frame-perfect precision that it’s hard not to be swept along. First revealed at a special outdoor screening in front of an estimated 25,000 in Trafalgar Square in 2004, Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe’s score, performed with the Dresdner Sinfoniker and orchestrated by Torsten Rasch, blends electronic beats with orchestral grandeur to create a contemporary cinematic experience.

Silents Synced pairs classic silent movies with epic rock music to bring audiences a unique big screen experience. This reimagining of the iconic Nosferatu (1922) features Radiohead’s Kid A (2000) and Amnesiac (2001) albums. An unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Nosferatu (1922) is the quintessential silent vampire film, crafted by legendary German director F. W. Murnau. Rather than depicting Dracula as a shape-shifting monster or debonair gentleman, Murnau’s Graf Orlok (as portrayed by Max Schreck) is a nightmarish, spidery creature of bulbous head and taloned claws — perhaps the most genuinely disturbing incarnation of vampirism yet envisioned. Don’t miss out on the chance to experience this imaginative new take on an iconic horror classic!

Classic films back on the big screen in 35mm. Truffaut's superb feature debut remains an influential landmark in the history of the cinema. Antoine Doinel (Jean-Pierre Laud), a 13-year-old is constantly in trouble - justifiably or otherwise - with his parents and teachers. Drifting into truancy and petty theft, he soon finds himself at odds with still less sympathetic figures of adult authority. Shot on the streets of Paris, the film exudes an emotional authenticity born of the semi-autobiographical story, and displays real compassion as it charts a seemingly unstoppable progress towards delinquency. Great credit goes to Léaud, whose engaging but entirely uningratiating performance is a miracle of naturalism. Truffaut managed to gather many talents, on both sides of the camera, who would prove crucial to the development of the nouvelle vague. Marvellous stuff.
