The Substance

Demi Moore gives a career-best performance as Elisabeth Sparkle, a former A-lister past her prime and suddenly fired from her fitness TV show by repellent studio head Harvey. She is then drawn to the opportunity presented by a mysterious new drug: The Substance. All it takes is one injection and she is reborn – temporarily – as the gorgeous, twentysomething Sue. The only rule? Time needs to be split: exactly one week in one body, then one week in the other. No exceptions. A perfect balance. What could go wrong? Deliriously entertaining and ruthlessly satirical, Coralie Fargeat’s Cannes sensation turns toxic beauty culture inside out with a be-careful-what-you-wish-for fable for the ages. Explosive, provocative and twisted, The Substance marks the arrival of a thrillingly visionary filmmaker.

Joker: Folie à Deux

Arthur Fleck is institutionalized at Arkham awaiting trial for his crimes as Joker. While struggling with his dual identity, Arthur not only stumbles upon true love, but also finds the music that's always been inside him.

The Battle for Laikipia

“A tense, beautiful, heartbreaking film.” – Vulture Unresolved historical injustices and a devastating drought raise the stakes in a generations-old conflict between indigenous farmers and white landowners in Laikipia, Kenya, a wildlife conservation haven.

The Outrun

Rona, fresh out of rehab, returns to the Orkney Islands; a place both wild and beautiful right off the Scottish coast. After more than a decade of living life on the edge in London, where she both found and lost love, Rona – now 30 – attempts to come to terms with her troubled past. As she reconnects with the dramatic landscape where she grew up, memories of her traumatic childhood merge with more recent challenging events that have set her on the path to recovery.

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!

Each screening dives into the movies that have become queer cultural staples - whether they were made with us in mind or not. 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.
