Fancy a film with that added oomph? Discover the most interesting and unique screenings in the capital...
London: vast, diverse, and always ready to surprise you, no matter your thing. In Walloh’s case, it’s cinema, which means we’ve searched the capital for the most interesting and unique film screenings taking place this week. From exclusive Q&As with some of the world’s most exciting filmmakers to an epic double bill, there’s bound to be something here for everyone…
The Souvenir + Q&A with Director & Cast
When? 18:15, Tuesday 27th August How much? From £15.95 Where? Mayfair
What is it?
Joanna Hogg’s new film, The Souvenir, is a quiet, near-masterpiece. Based on her own time as a film student, it’s a immensely powerful but sad romantic drama that lingers with you long after you’ve seen it (our full review here).
Sounds interesting! What else?
Hogg will attend this screening for a Q&A, alongside lead actors Honor Swinton Byrne and Tom Burke. A chance to see the film a few days before its general release, then, and to prod Hogg into telling you what parts really happened. Click here for tickets and more info.
Kill Bill, Vol 1. on a Roof in Stratford
When? 21:00, Tuesday 27th August How much? From £15.95 Where? Stratford
What is it?
Quentin Tarantino’s kick-ass action classic, Kill Bill, screened on the 7th floor of a carpark in Stratford. It’s way cooler than it sounds, trust us… and just in time for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood‘s release.
Sounds interesting! What else?
