Ticket includes Pitchblack Playback eye mask for extra darkness. As recommended by The Guardian, GQ, Time Out, Metro and Newsweek. Twenty-one years after its initial release in 2002, Groove Armada’s seminal Another Late Night compilation gets a heavyweight vinyl reissue courtesy of longtime label collaborators Late Night Tales. Boasting eighteen tracks lovingly selected by the esoteric cratediggers (including the duo’s uber-rare cover of ‘Fly Me To The Moon’), the 70-minute collection - hailed as a 'groovy concoction of cabaret music, cocktail house, old school funk and a bit of hip hop' by Resident Advisor - takes us on a journey through downtempo bliss via the occasional dance- floor filler and more than one opportunity for the listener to start shakin’ their ass. In this Another Late Night compilation, Groove Armada have achieved the tricky task of delivering a mix that gives a flavour of the dancefloor while simultaneously offering something that can be consumed lying gingerly on a chaise-longue while being wafted with palm fronds by scantily clad belly dancers. See you on the veranda. “I remember the first one really well. We did it in a really horrible flat that I lived in on Seven Sisters Road where we also did a couple of early remixes that were great, so there was some good output at that time. I remember doing the ‘Fly Me To The Moon’ cover, because whenever Andy’s near a piano, he just defaults to playing that tune. It’s his thing. That was super simple, that one, because it was just Andy playing the piano and a real slowed-down breakbeat.” - Tom Findlay, Sept 2023 A1.

Jellied Reels presents: I pugni in tasca (Fists in the Pocket)

Made when the director was only 26, yet already pulsing with a fiercely refined energy, Marco Bellocchio's remarkable (quasi-autobiographical) first film about a family of bourgeois lunatics is as delightfully disturbing as it is fascinatingly intimate. Set in a crumbling villa in the hills of Emilia-Romagna, Lou Castel stars as Alessandro, the tormented younger son of a once wealthy family. Sandro's troubling impulses continually cause alarm, but also grant distraction and an uneasy freedom to his siblings Augusto, Guilia and Leone. Simultaneously alienating and binding his family ever closer together, Alessandro's atavistic contortions slowly reveal the primal anxieties bubbling away under the surface of a Catholic family and society. With ripples of Italy's fascist history and an anticipation of the political waves of 1968 in the bathwater, Fists in the Pocket is a taut psychodrama that was radically ahead of its time. “Exhilaratingly cool and assured… One of the most astonishing directorial debuts in the history of movies.” – Pauline Kael Jellied Reels serves up screenings of the best films you've never tried.

Shot in black and white (which we love) the film looks amazing, and has a kick-ass soundtrack too; it's a feast for the senses to be sure. But also has a lot of heart, and some strong messages, while exploring a clash of cultures and film-genres. It's far more than your average vampire film. We love it. Mark Kermode loves it.

The Long Farewell

This pointillist family portrait by Kira Muratova is one of the bracingly original Soviet filmmaker’s long-banned major works. A kind of psychological breakup movie, The Long Farewell traces the rift that grows between an emotionally impulsive single mother (the transcendent Zinaida Sharko) and her increasingly resentful teenage son (Oleg Vladimirsky), who upends her world when he announces he wishes to live with his faraway father. The seemingly simple premise is rendered anything but simple by Muratova’s dreamy, drifting style, with off-kilter framing, editing, and dialogue continually pushing cinema’s aesthetic and expressive boundaries outward. Restored in 4K by STUDIOCANAL in collaboration with The Criterion Collection at L’Immagine Ritrovata/Éclair Classics. Presented as part of Cinema Rediscovered on Tour, a Watershed project. With support from BFI awarding funds from The National Lottery and MUBI. For more details about upcoming Jellied Reels screenings at the Castle - follow us here!

Doc'n Roll Festival: Even Hell Has It's Hero's: Earth + Q&A

Since 1989, the slowest metal band on the planet has conjured some of music’s most striking tectonic changes. Not only did the band Earth create a glacially paced subgenre of metal and play a pivotal role in the popularisation of grunge, but visionary leader Dylan Carlson also did it while battling small-town boredom, heroin addiction, and the tragic death of his roommate and best friend, Kurt Cobain. Despite the high volume of its beloved and beautiful drone metal, Earth has rarely had much to say for itself. For the first time, in a moving saga that respects the music as much as the ragtag cast of eccentrics and surreal Pacific Northwest majesty that shaped it, Clyde Petersen gets to the core of the could-have-been-tragic triumph of Earth, the slow band that changed everything it touched. The screening will be followed by a zoom Q&A with the director.

21:00

Doc'n Roll Festival: Lost Angel: The Genius of Judee Sill + Q&A

The film charts the vertiginous arc of Judee’s life from a deeply troubled adolescence of abuse, addiction and prison through her meteoric rise in the music world. She went from living in a car with four others sleeping in shifts to appearing on the cover of Rolling Stone in four years. Yet, for Judee, success and happiness were fleeting. While her singular sound was critically adored, her albums did not sell. Although she continued to write and record, Judee was injured in an auto accident which put her in constant pain and forced her to rely again on narcotics. She died of an overdose in 1979. At its core, this film is an intimate portrait of a musical artist, largely, told by Judee herself. Through recorded interviews, concert intros and entries in her personal journal the film provides deep access to the source of her unique musical creativity and to the darker recesses of her struggles with addiction. Additional interviews with friends and contemporaries, including Graham Nash, Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Browne and David Geffen give a first-hand experience of Judee’s personality, talents and struggles. Ultimately, it is a story of redemption. While not finding a large audience in her lifetime, Judee’s music has been rediscovered inspiring some of top musicians today. Here the film features Adrienne Lenker (Big Thief), Natalie Mering (Weyes Blood) and Shawn Colvin to help bring to life Judee’s core belief that you could “save someone through music.” The screening will be followed by a zoom Q&A with the director.

Jellied Reels presents: Belleville Rendez-vous (Les Triplettes de Belleville)

In this animated dreamscape of absurd caricatures, a steadfast elderly woman embarks on a search for her grandson, a professional cyclist, who is mysteriously kidnapped during the Tour de France. Joined by her lethargic but loyal dog, Madame Souza embarks on her adventure, aided by rhythmic veterans of the vaudeville stage, the Triplets of Belleville. The unlikely team are soon hot on the tail of international intrigue and her grandson’s criminal captors. Belleville Rendez-vous was Sylvain Chomet’s debut feature film, and was nominated for two Academy Awards — Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song for “Belleville Rendez-vous”, and it was part of the Cannes and Toronto Film Festival Official Selection in 2003. Both as an original story of nostalgic dedication to the ones we love, and a stellar example of the unique, memorable, and often haunting images of great animation, Belleville Rendez-vous is an immersive, big-screen must see. “It’s so French you can taste it… One of the most bracingly original things I have seen for a long time” - The Guardian “A genre-confounding feature debut” - Variety Jellied Reels serves up screenings of the best films you've never tried.

Jellied Reels presents: Tillsammans (Together)

Free love, vegetarianism, and the appropriate Marxist approach to doing the dishes are all on the agenda for endless discussion in a leafy suburb of Stockholm in 1975. The round the clock antics of the leftist commune Tillsammans become even more chaotic when Elisabeth arrives with her two young children after leaving her drunken husband Rolf. Director Lukas Moodysson's touching characterisations and lively humanism in Fucking Amal (Show Me Love) were praised by Ingmar Bergman as "the first work of a young master". In his second feature, Together, he takes a joyous, tongue-in-cheek look at political idealism, loneliness and the complications of living together. Carefully rendered, this ensemble comedy scoops up life's many vicissitudes and spins them into a gentle reminder that good intentions and shared perspectives might not always bring happiness. However, a little red wine and an open heart often do help smooth things over. "funny, graceful and immensely good-natured" - New York Times "timeless piece of hippy lore... an incredible exploration of societal fear of chaos" - Slant Magazine Jellied Reels serves up screenings of the best films you've never tried.
