Christie Malry's Own Double-Entry + Introduction

Christie Malry's Own Double Entry is an underappreciated slice of metafictional revelry. Based on the novel by BS Johnson - a writer who committed suicide after saying "I shall be much more famous when I'm dead" - the narrative alternates between London at the turn of the millennium and Renaissance Milan. Confused? It's simpler than it sounds: Christie Malry, a lonely and unfulfilled man, learns double entry bookkeeping - debit and credit - and starts taking revenge on a society that refuses to recognise his value. Starring Nick Moran and Kate Ashfield, this film is at once dark, funny, erotic and very, very English. We are pleased to present this premiere screening of the newly remastered version of the film with a special introduction from director Paul Tickell and actor Nick Moran. Selected by THE FENCE - the UK's only magazine.

EDEN presented by Jellied Reels

Paul is a teenager in the late 90’s when the Paris underground scene is taken over by house music. Starting up a successful DJ-duo of his own, he soon gets caught up in the euphoric and intoxicating whirlwind of a generational musical revolution. While Paul's passion for the carefree, living-by-night lifestyle never falters, the headlights of responsibility eventually come hurtling around the corner. Directed by Mia Hansen-Løve (One Fine Morning, Goodbye First Love) and co-written with her brother Sven (who's real-life friendship with Daft Punk granted music use rights for the film), Eden is a sprawling two-decade testament to the French Touch and the pains of (slowly) growing up. "doleful existential ennui to a soundtrack of fluttering 120bpm floor-fillers" - Little White Lies Jellied Reels serves up screenings of the best films you've never tried (or likely won't find on streaming)...
