The City of Lost Children (La cité des enfants perdus) presented by Jellied Reels

On a futuristic oil rig, the tormented scientist Krank has aged prematurely because he has lost the ability to dream. To reverse the aging process, he kidnaps children from the local town so that he can steal their dreams and become young again. A former circus strongman and little orphan girl set out on a journey into Krank's nightmarish laboratory to free the children and escape. With fantastical costumes by Jean-Paul Gaultier and a haunting score from David Lynch collaborator Angelo Badalementi, The City of Lost Children is a swampy and sensorial voyage through the dark cinematic imaginations of directors Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro. Jellied Reels serves up screenings of the best films you've never tried (and likely won't find on streaming)... For more details about our upcoming programme at the Castle - follow us here!

Join us this Halloween weekend for cheap film-inspired cocktails, and a short introduction to this month’s camp classic! Dress to KILL <3 Our first screening is the OG The Substance, 1992’s Death Becomes Her, a darkly comedic masterpiece starring living icons, Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn. A dazzlingly camp mix of beauty, betrayal, and immortality, this film drips with satire on Hollywood's obsession with youth and vanity - served with a side of outrageous special effects and wicked humour. It's a cult favourite for a reason, and one of those films that only gets better with time (like a fine bottle of immortality potion, available at the bar).

I Should Have Been Dead Years Ago: Stu Spasm + in-person Q&A

DOC'N ROLL FILM FEST PRESENTS - UK PREMIERE An exploration of the life, music and artistic output of Stuart Gray (AKA Stu Spasm), the notorious underground rocker and sometime member of The Beasts of Bourbon and Salamander Jim who went on to create the most psychotronic group ever to emerge from Australia – the legendary proto-grunge rockets Lubricated Goat. Shot over 20 years, the film features archival footage, photos, interviews, Gray’s idiosyncratic sculptures and paintings, and live performance footage including Gray’s current New York City-based band, The Art Gray Noizz Quintet. I Should Have Been Dead Years Ago is the story of a restlessly intelligent, fearlessly rule-breaking, compulsively creative iconoclast who finds artistic redemption despite failing to achieve commercial success. Featuring insights from friends and admirers Mark Arm and Steve Turner of Mudhoney.

Goddess of Slide: The Forgotten Story of Ellen McIlwaine + in-person Q&A

DOC'N ROLL FILM FEST PRESENTS - UK PREMIERE Goddess of Slide: The Forgotten Story of Ellen McIlwaine is a feature documentary about the legendary – and now largely forgotten – Canadian singer and musician who fought for her right to play the slide guitar, a male-dominated instrument in a male-dominated world. Eight months after arriving in Greenwich Village with no prospects, she found herself opening for the biggest blues legends in the world, including Odetta, Richie Havens and Mississippi John Hurt. But it would be the six magical nights that a young, fearless, red-headed McIlwaine ignited the stage with Jimi Hendrix that would change the course of her life. This is an intimate look at a pioneering performer whose road trip to stardom and long career deserves a rightful place in music history.

NT Live: Prima Facie

Jodie Comer (Killing Eve) makes her West End debut in the UK premiere of Suzie Miller?s award-winning play. Tessa is a young, brilliant barrister. She has worked her way up from working class origins to be at the top of her game; defending; cross examining and winning. An unexpected event forces her to confront the lines where the patriarchal power of the law, burden of proof and morals diverge. Prima Facie takes us to the heart of where emotion and experience collide with the rules of the game. Justin Martin directs this solo tour de force, captured live from the intimate Harold Pinter Theatre in London?s West End. Includes sensitive subject matter including reference to sex, violence and rape
