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.

Hear this masterpiece loud and an intimate detail on our powerful Screen One sound system, with no distractions - and get a discounted copy of the remaster + bonus material CD or vinyl as part of a ticket + album bundle (three days before its official release on Warp Records on October 25). An album beloved of fans since its release in March 2004, Ultravisitor is one of the most popular records in Squarepusher’s discography. A distinctive blend of studio and live recordings, it’s an excellent showcase for the diversity of his music: from the anthemic title track through the breakneck mayhem of ‘Steinbolt’ to the sunlit bliss of ‘Tommib Help Buss’ and beyond. For the 20th anniversary, Warp is proud to present this expanded deluxe version - a limited edition one-time pressing, carefully remastered from the original recordings by Jason Mitchell at Loud Mastering and overseen by Tom Jenkinson. Never entirely satisfied with the sound of the original release, Tom has relished the opportunity to bring out fresh dynamics and detail in the tracks. "This sounds great" - Rick Rubin
"A fabulous idea" - Jay Kay, Jamiroquai
"It’s the way I remember experiencing music when I was a teenager, turning out the lights and just allowing myself to be carried away by the music" - Steven Wilson
"I have an out-of-body experience every time I go" - Jonny, artist manager Ticket includes Pitchblack Playback eye mask for extra darkness. As recommended by The Guardian, GQ, Time Out, Metro and Newsweek.

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!

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 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.

CAMP CLASSICS presents: Death Becomes Her
Welcome to Camp Classics, where we celebrate the films queer culture has embraced for their unapologetic camp, iconic performances, and unforgettable style. 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.

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.
