The Souvenir + Q&A with Director Joanna Hogg
When? 18:15, Tuesday 29th October How much? From £15.95 Where? Bloomsbury
What is it?
If you still haven't seen the The Souvenir, where have you been? Written and directed by Joanna Hogg, based on her own time as a film school student, it’s a immensely powerful but very sad romantic drama that will linger with you longer after the credits roll (read our full review here).
Sounds interesting! What else?
The film was released in cinemas a few months back, but Hogg is set to attend this belated screening for a sure-to-be-invaluable Q&A session. Click here for tickets and more info.
Little Shop of Horrors: Director's Cut + After Party
When? 20:30, Friday 1st November How much? From £11.25 Where? Southbank
What is it?
Little Shop of Horrors, the brilliant musical film based on the Broadway musical, features iconic songs like “Suddenly Seymour” and a hilarious, man-eating plant. If you want something for Halloween that doesn't take itself too seriously, this one's for you.
Sounds interesting! What else?
This is the little-seen “Director's Cut” version of the film, which features a way darker ending than the original cut. Better yet, there will be a fantastic party at the BFI Riverfront after the screening, complete with scary tunes, creative cocktails, and lots of surprises. Click here for tickets and more info.
Sing-A-Long to The Rocky Horror Picture Show
When? 23:59, Thursday 31st October How much? From £14.50 Where? Leicester Square
What is it?
A sing-a-long screening of beloved musical The Rocky Horror Picture Show at the famous Prince Charles Cinema… with the lyrics projected onto the screen for all to see! Dress up is highly encouraged, of course.
Sounds interesting! What else?
The screening – perfectly scheduled at midnight on Halloween – comes with its own host, who will guide you through the sing-a-long process to ensure the best possible time is had. Plus you'll be gifted with a free, interactive prop bag. Get ready to do the Time Warp (again). Click here for tickets and more info.

Sounds interesting! What else?
