HUMPTY DUMPTY X — PART 1
HUMPTY DUMPTY X is a 73-minute album. A song. A celebration, an existential exorcism of my process while making, and still making American History X
It is a portal into a new body of work.
It is a road toward Marlon Brando — a love letter and standing ovation to the man I believe was the greatest screen actor who ever lived — and an attempt to understand what it means for a director to to try become completely, dangerously, and beautifully free.
Out of that search comes the seed of a new acting technique. A miniature self-help... More Info
HUMPTY DUMPTY X — PART 1
HUMPTY DUMPTY X is a 73-minute album. A song. A celebration, an existential exorcism of my process while making, and still making American History X
It is a portal into a new body of work.
It is a road toward Marlon Brando — a love letter and standing ovation to the man I believe was the greatest screen actor who ever lived — and an attempt to understand what it means for a director to to try become completely, dangerously, and beautifully free.
Out of that search comes the seed of a new acting technique. A miniature self-help manual. A meditation on instinct, courage, failure, madness and surrender.
But above everything, HUMPTY DUMPTY X is a message to artists:
It is about the principle.
It is about the sacrifice.
It is about removing fear.
Creativity begins when you stop asking permission.
You open the door of the spacecraft.
You jump.
And you fall headfirst into the beautiful mess, danger, ecstasy and madness of making something that has never existed before.
That is HUMPTY DUMPTY X — PART 1.
The egg breaks.
And something new crawls out.
Followed by Q&A with filmmaker Tony Kaye.

*** Please note the different day/time for this event ***
SHIVERS dir David Cronenberg (1975 / Canada / 88mins)
“BEING TERRIFIED IS JUST THE BEGINNING…”
A new breed of parasite infects the residents of a luxury apartment block, triggering a very queer sex riot… David Cronenberg’s SHIVERS was hugely controversial on its original release, both for its venereal horrors and for daring to blow Canadian tax dollars on such filth (it was part-financed by the Canadian Film Development Corporation). However, SHIVERS’ “combination of taboo-busting sex, medical terror, and squishy creature effects” (Paul Corupe, Arrow Films) plunges audiences into a queer (and we don’t just mean LGBTIA+) apocalypse that resonates with present-day fears of queer erasure as a result of gentrification, chemsex, and the many health crises that have ripped through our communities since the 1980’s AIDS crisis, which Cronenberg eerily foreshadows.
CREEPOZOIDS dir David DeCoteau (1987 / USA / 72mins)
“YOUR FLESH WILL CRAWL RIGHT OFF YOUR BONES.”
Welcome to the future where a group of army deserters are journeying across America to seek shelter from a devastating nuclear war…. David DeCoteau’s CREEPOZOIDS is an iconic ALIEN ripoff where not having much of a budget is no barrier to ambitious (if rubbery) special effects! DeCoteau may be the LGBTQIA+ auteur you’ve never heard of, with almost 200 features under his belt and a seemingly endless production line of cult franchises. Having started work with Roger Corman, DeCoteau found his way to Charles Band (where he directed CREEPOZOIDS and several entries in the beloved PUPPET MASTER cycle) before going rogue and setting up his own production company, Rapid Heart. With DeCoteau’s TV movies now a daytime staple (THE WRONG BABY DADY), CREEPOZOIDS is a delirious throwback to his early-career mayhem.
Polite notice: We are showing SHIVERS and CREEPOZOIDS with subtitles from the best available digital sources. There will be one intermission between the two films. SHIVERS and CREEPOZOIDS contain adult themes and content: our show is strictly for adults aged 18+ only!

"THE MONSTERS ARE IN REVOLT... AND THE WORLD IS ON THE BRINK OF DESTRUCTION!"
Near the end of the 20th century, Godzilla and all of Earth's monsters held on Monsterland are unleashed by an alien race seeking dominion.
BAR TRASH continues our 14th sensational season — TRASH PLANET 3: APOCALYPSE! — with a celebration of our 250th screening and one of the biggest monster mashups in movie history.
Originally intended to bring the increasingly erratic Godzilla franchise to a titanic halt, DESTROY ALL MONSTERS (1968) — “the battle-cry that could save the world!” — is the last film in the series created by the original ‘dream team’ of director Ishiro Honda, special effects master Eiji Tsuburaya (supervising his protégé Sadamasa Arikawa), composer Akira Ifukube, and producer Tomoyuki Tanaka. It became one of the most popular in the entire series and Godzilla would spawn again.
Set in the far future — actually 1999 — all the marauding kaiju have been successfully contained on Monsterland and the world looks to be at peace again. However, alien race the Kilaaks wants Earth’s resources and takes command of the monsters, unleashing them as instruments of conquest. In total, 11 behemoths are sent to stomp humanity into submission with some making their debuts in a Godzilla film, including Baragon from FRANKENSTEIN CONQUERS THE WORLD (1965). With the majority of monster suits reused or recycled from pervious appearances — only Godzilla and Anguiras were made anew — DESTROY ALL MONSTERS is the perfect TRASH PLANET mashup to help us celebrate 250 screenings of London’s wildest and most prolific film club.
Expect cake, and maybe a few tears, as we celebrate BAR TRASH in all its monstrous mayhem!

Determined to understand the colonial legacy from which he comes, Kassanda convinces his grandparents—Colette and Justin—to sit for a series of interviews.

On Devil's Night, the night before Halloween, rock star Eric Draven and his fiancée are brutally murdered by a notorious inner-city gang.

Set against a rain-soaked and dilapidated industrial cityscape, Draven’s journey drags us into a brutal world of psychological torment and merciless violence.
Join Seasonal Affective Cinema for a screening of this blood-splattered cult classic. With this film, we're succumbing to the brooding and tenebrous energy that comes with autumn. The dying light and encroaching shadows create the perfect ambiance for the film's twisted themes of vengeance, loss, and redemption. As Draven discovers, the only way back to the light, is diving headfirst through the darkness.
Seasonal Affective Cinema is a quarterly film club screening movies that aesthetically and thematically reflect the changing of the seasons.

There are two ways to sign up for a slam slot:
Pre sign-up: https://www.eventbrite.com/o/112945284141
On the night
We’re always working to keep the process fair and accessible, and this is the best format we’ve found so far.
Pre sign-up:
Sign up via the Eventbrite link: https://www.eventbrite.com/o/112945284141. These slots are strictly first come, first served and fill fast. If you secure a pre sign-up slot, you do not need to buy a ticket – your name will be on the door.
On the night:
If pre sign-up slots are full, we may release a limited number of on-the-night slots, again first come, first served.
If you have a pre sign-up slot, please arrive by 7.00pm to keep it. Any unclaimed slots will be offered to poets on the reserve list. To keep things fair, if the slam has started and you haven’t checked in, you won’t be able to perform.
SLAM RULES
No props.
No costumes.
Reading from paper or phone is fine.
No hate.
And remember:
The points are not the point…
THE POINT IS THE POETRY.

Nearly one in two of us will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in our lives. David Nicholas Wilkinson is one of them, twice over.

In 2024, a second colonoscopy found bowel cancer. Stage 4. He was told his tumour was 5-6 years old. What went wrong?

Nearly one in two of us will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in our lives. David Nicholas Wilkinson is one of them, twice over.
In 2020, a colonoscopy found his bowel to be extremely healthy for a man his age. In 2023, a FIT test came back clear and, like almost everyone who takes one, he assumed that meant the all-clear. In 2024, a second colonoscopy found bowel cancer. Stage 4. He was told his tumour was 5-6 years old. What went wrong?
A FIT test looks for blood. Wilkinson’s tumour never bled. Nor do a great many others.
1 IN 2 follows Wilkinson through his own treatment, where he discovers a steep rise in bowel cancer among people far too young to be screened for it, and far too young, it seems, to be believed. Among those who tell him their stories is a bowel surgeon whose own symptoms were dismissed by her oncologist colleagues and in part by herself because she was only 44.
Bowel cancer is very insidious; it often strikes with few or no symptoms. One of the participants, an NHS nurse specialising in colonoscopies, had only one symptom: anxiety. 1 IN 2 attempts to flag up early signs, because the one thing no one wants is to end up like director David Nicholas Wilkinson, with stage 4 bowel cancer.
Released in the cinema as part of Maggie’s Cancer Centre 30th Anniversary celebrations. A significant percentage of the box office income will go directly to Maggie’s St Barts.
The screening is a tribute to Lisa Andrews-Dhapra, a bowel surgeon who trained at St Barts, where she was filmed for 1 IN 2, and died of bowel cancer in May, aged just 50.
