SUMMARY:White Wall Cinema: VHS FEST NIGHT 3 - COCKTAIL
DESCRIPTION:Join us for VHS Fest\, a special three night film festival celebrating films that represent the classic era of VHS video.  Each night you can take a stroll through our life size VHS rental store\, indulge in some retro gaming\, have a drink in our beer garden (with our VHS era playlist) and then enjoy a cult classic film from the era on the big screen. Tickets for individual nights are available as well as a discounted festival ticket for all three nights (nights two and three revealed soon). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nNight Three: Hot on the heels of two breakthrough performances in Tony Scott’s Top Gun and Scorsese’s The Color of Money\, and right before what is likely the most unprecedented unbroken run of successful (either financially or critically) movies in cinema history that would last until present day\, Cruise graced this popcorn classic with the presence of mega-star. Transforming what was essentially a b-movie into a box office smash that would take in nearly nine times it’s own budget at the box office. \n\n\n\nWhen young Brian Flanagan (Tom Cruise) is discharged from the army he dreams of making it big in business in New York City\, despite taking the right classes and applying for the right jobs he is repeatedly rejected until in desperation he stumbles upon veteran bartender Doug Coughlin (an unforgettable Bryan Brown) and accepts a job in order to make ends meet. Eventually hatching a scheme to start his own bar by making in money bartending in Jamaica he falls into a whirlwind romance with an American artist Jordan Mooney (Elisabeth Shue) holidaying at the resort as darker storm clouds begin to gather over his life\, love and dreams.  \n\n\n\n​A movie that created an entire generation of bartenders\, Cocktail is a flashy\, funny and sometimes dark comic book coming of age fantasy that reflects the changing tides of the era. A fascinating study of how the charm of the yuppie dream was beginning to fade\, Tom Cruise plays it braggadocious and cocky before craftily deploying his trademark earnestness. \n\n\n\n\nDOORS: 6.30pm*\n\n\n\nSTART TIME: 6.30pm*\n\n\n\nLAST ADMISSION BEFORE FILM: 8pm\n\n\n\nFILM RUN TIME: 103 mins\n\n\n\nFILM CERT: 15\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets & More Info

SUMMARY:White Wall Cinema: VHS FEST NIGHT 2 - COMMANDO
DESCRIPTION:Join us for VHS Fest\, a special three night film festival celebrating films that represent the classic era of VHS video.  Each night you can take a stroll through our life size VHS rental store\, indulge in some retro gaming\, have a drink in our beer garden (with our VHS era playlist) and then enjoy a cult classic film from the era on the big screen. Tickets for individual nights are available as well as a discounted festival ticket for all three nights (nights two and three revealed soon). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nNight Two: When ex United States Army Special Forces colonel John Matrix (Schwarzenegger obviously) has his now peaceful life interrupted by the kidnap of his young daughter Jenny (Alyssa Milano – Charmed)\, he must race against the clock to rescue her from a band of classic 80s bad guys that includes Dan Hedaya (Blood Simple\, Clueless\, The Usual Suspects\, Mulholland Drive)\, Vernon Wells (Mad Max 2\, Weird Science)\, David Patrick Kelly (The Warriors\, Twin Peaks)\, & Bill Duke (Predator\, Menace II Society) with the unwitting help of innocent bystander Cindy (Rae Dawn Chong – The Color Purple). \n\n\n\nBut hey\, who cares about the plot? All in all it’s a fabulous excuse for Arnie to charge around the roads and shopping malls of upstate California as well as the Island hide-out of a Latin American dictator\, reeking havoc with large guns (both the human flesh kind and the mechanical kind) whilst uttering ludicrously funny quips. Extremely dated and extremely entertaining this is the epitome of the non franchise 80s actioner that was such a staple of the era.  \n\n\n\n​Helmed by cult director Mark Lester (The Class of 1984\, Firestarter\, the latter being THE key influence on Stranger Things) and during Arnie’s unprecedented hot streak sandwiched between The Terminator and Predator\, Commando is everything you could want from an Arnie movie and more. With endless one liners\, a penchant for 80s action movie outfits (bicep revealing vests\, denim dungarees\, camo\, chainmail & leather trousers) and explosions bigger than Arnie’s pecs\, this is the perfect Saturday night VHS Fest choice. Let’s party! \n\n\n\n\nDOORS: 6.30pm*\n\n\n\nSTART TIME: 6.30pm*\n\n\n\nLAST ADMISSION BEFORE FILM: 7.55pm\n\n\n\nFILM RUN TIME: 90 mins\n\n\n\nCERT: 18 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets & More Info

DESCRIPTION:Join us for VHS Fest\, a special three night film festival celebrating films that represent the classic era of VHS video.  Each night you can take a stroll through our life size VHS rental store\, indulge in some retro gaming\, have a drink in our beer garden (with our VHS era playlist) and then enjoy a cult classic film from the era on the big screen. Tickets for individual nights are available as well as a discounted festival ticket for all three nights (nights two and three revealed soon). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nNight one of VHS Fest sees us take a trip to 80s Santa Clara\, California. When a newly divorced mother and two sons move to the coastal locale\, it’s only a matter of time until the town’s local teen vampire biker gang attempt to recruit one of the family. It’s then up to younger brother Sam and his two friends from the local comic book store to save the day.\n\n\n\nCampy\, gothic and cool with a rocking 80s soundtrack​​\, The Lost Boys is a key touchstone of 80s pop culture and still the best teen screen vampire gang ever assembled (apologies to Twilight & Buffy). The stacked cast of 80s icons include Corey Feldman\, Corey Haim\, Kiefer Sutherland\, & Dianne Wiest (on the verge of winning her Oscar) all under the spell of ace cinematography from Michael Chapman\, who by this point in his career had already shot Taxi Driver\, Raging Bull and the iconic Michael Jackson ‘Bad’ music video for Martin Scorsese (not to mention Paul Schrader’s ‘Hardcore’ \, Hal Ashby’s ‘The Last Detail’ the 70s Invasion of The Bodysnatchers remake).  Imbued with director Joel Schumacher’s bold\, vividly coloured visual style\, ace production design and frenetic energy\, it deserves nothing less than to be enjoyed on the big screen in this new 4K remaster.     \n\n\n\n​​​​​The iconic teenage horror comedy is fun from start to finish and the perfect way to kick off a weekend of VHS classics. \n\n\n\n\nDOORS: 7pm*\n\n\n\nSTART TIME: 7pm*\n\n\n\nLAST ADMISSION: 8.40pm\n\n\n\nFILM RUN TIME: 97 mins\n\n\n\nCERT: 15 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets & More Info

SUMMARY:Café Scientifique: Why snails might hold some answers to age-related memory loss…
DESCRIPTION:With Prof Mark Yeoman\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDOORS: 7.00pm\n\n\n\nSPEAKER: 7.30pm\n\n\n\n\nIMPORTANT \nPlease ensure you REGISTER prior to attending! \n\n\n\n\nRegister to Attend\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nMolluscs have been routinely used to study the mechanisms by which nerve cells communicate. Indeed\, our understanding of how the electrical signals in neurons are generated and the fundamental mechanisms of learning and memory formation were first discovered in this simple model system. Like many animals\, snails age and when they age their ability to learn and remember is impaired. This talk will introduce you to the humble mollusc\, explain why it has gained success as a model system for studying age-related changes in CNS function and how experiments designed to reverse age-related memory impairments may point towards novel treatments to delay cognitive decline in older people. \n\n\n\nMark Yeoman is Professor of Neuropharmacology at Brighton University and Director of the Centre for Lifelong Health. The focus of his research is to understand the causes and consequences of central nervous system ageing. He obtained his degree in Physiology and Pharmacology at the University of Southampton before studying for a PhD at the University of Aberdeen in hyperbaric medicine. He then moved to the University of Sussex where he was introduced to the pond snails as a model system for studying neurobiology. In 1998 he was appointed as a senior lecturer in pharmacology at the University of Brighton and started to use the pond snail to understand how ageing affected the nervous system. His current research explores how age-related changes in nervous system lipid composition affects neural function. \n\n\n\nDoors and bar open 7:00pm\n\n\n\nPlease note that we are entirely dependent on donations from those who attend our events. You can make a donation as you arrive or leave; we are happy to accept cash or card payments. All donations greatly appreciated!

SUMMARY:Brighton Astro: The Second-Life of Planetary Systems
DESCRIPTION:DOORS: 7.00pm\n\n\n\nLECTURE: 7.30pm\n\n\n\n\nRegister to Attend\n\n\n\nPlease only come along if you’ve signed up\, as we’re limited on space so won’t be able to fit anyone else in. \n\n\n\n\n\nDefying the notion of the silent graveyard\, planetary systems refuse to die quietly. Instead\, a significant fraction show one or more signs of dynamical reanimation\, with strong indications of general mayhem during the last stages of stellar evolution. The lecture will give a brief tour of these evolved and active planetary systems\, which provide major insights into rocky planetary bodies in particular.\n\n\n\nThese descendants of intermediate-mass stars reveal characteristics of their former planetary systems in ways unattainable by conventional methods using main-sequence stars. In particular\, the metal pollution observed in white dwarf stars reveals the bulk chemistry of entire planetesimals or planetary fragments\, including compelling evidence for Earth-like chemistry\, planetary differentiation\, and believe it or not – water. This talk will cover some of the highlights of the active planetary graveyard\, including variability and transient behaviour. \n\n\n\nJay Farihi hails from Southern California\, where he did his PhD at UCLA searching for substellar companions to white dwarf stars using infrared imaging. He held a postdoctoral position at Gemini Observatory on the big island of Hawaii\, and was a senior fellow at the Institute for Astronomy in Cambridge. He was awarded an STFC Ernest Rutherford Fellowship in 2012 and joined the faculty of UCL in 2013\, where he is now professor. He is best known for his role in establishing the field of planetary systems orbiting white dwarfs\, especially using infrared observations to establish the presence and nature of their planetesimal debris disks\, and how these link to the heavy element pollution seen in their atmospheres. He enjoys hardcore punk and metal\, is a whisky fanatic\, loves to travel\, and has spent over 150 nights on summits pursuing his own research programs. \n\n\n\nIf you sign up via meetup but can no longer attend\, please update your status to say that you are no longer attending so that someone on the waiting list gets a place. \n\n\n\nPlease only come along if you’ve signed up\, as we’re limited on space so won’t be able to fit anyone else in. \n\n\n\nWagner Hall is on on Regency Road\, Brighton.Attendance is free\, but we would be grateful if those of you who are able to could donate a few pounds to help cover the cost of hiring this event space. We will have a card reader and a money box you can drop your donations in on the night. We also have a bank account you can donate to electronically. \n\n\n\nPlease note that the venue has a bar.

SUMMARY:White Wall Cinema: Oliver Stone's THE DOORS
DESCRIPTION:THE FINAL CUT – 4K REMASTER – VAL KILMER TRIBUTE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease note. Doors for this event are 7pm when we will be starting the evening off early with drinks and a DJ playing a selection of mid 60s to early 70s tunes to get you in the mood in our beer garden. \n\n\n\n\n\nPerhaps the most remarkable acting performance in a biopic in the history of cinema\, the recently departed Val Kilmer truly embodies the legendary Doors frontman Jim Morrison in this sensational new cut and 4k remaster\, from renowned director Oliver Stone.\n\n\n\n\nAlready a voice of cinematic counter culture writing such scripts as Midnight Express and Scarface\, as a director Stone would re-define Americas vision of itself through popular cinema\, documenting key moments in the countries checkered history with films like Salvador\, Platoon\, Wall Street\, Born on the Fourth of July\, JFK\, Natural Born Killers and more. The Doors sits right in the centre of this legendary run of cinematic masterpieces and captures all sides of the mythology of a cultural icon who has perhaps more than anybody else come to define our understanding of the word ‘ rockstar’.  \n\n\n\n\nA true ode to the 60s and The Lizard King that sat atop it\, this spectacularly entertaining kaleidoscopic journey through the era is underpinned by Kilmer’s breathtakingly uncanny performance and aided by an exceptional supporting cast that includes Meg Ryan (When Harry Met Sally…)\, Kyle MacLachlan (Twin Peaks\, Blue Velvet) Frank Whaley (Field Of Dreams)\, Michael Madsen (Reservoir Dogs\, Kill Bill 1&2)\, and even a real life rock star in Billy Idol.  \n\n\n\n​Spectacular concert scenes\, brilliant production design recreations of legendary 60s locations and Stone’s trademark lyrical version of history all add up to an intoxicating thrill-ride through the short but eventful life of Morrison that absolutely demands big screen viewing thanks to Stone’s highly cinematic eye and Kilmer’s astonishing performance. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDOORS\, DRINKS\, DJS FROM: 6.30pm*\n\n\n\nSTART TIME: 8.10pm*\n\n\n\nRUN TIME: 138 mins\n\n\n\nCERT: 18\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets & More Info
