White Wall Cinema Presents - ARMAGEDDON TIME
2023-02-20 19:15 - 22:00 (Europe/London)
A deeply personal story from director James Gray (Ad Astra) the film depicts family life for a young Jewish boy growing up in early ‘80s QueensNew York. Caught between the cultural ideals of the ’70s and the soon to be exploding ’80s world of Reaganism, Armageddon Time is a much more subtle and fascinating tale than most coming of age dramas. Focusing not only on the personal trials and tribulations of growing up, the film also allows for nuanced ideas about how the experiences of youth, family, societal position and personal identity can shape adult life. Despite the film’s seemingly nostalgic setting it rejects rose-tinted cliché as Gray creates a film about his childhood as can only be understood with the benefit of hindsight. This is a film about the best intentions of a family and the values that defined an era. An especially brilliant Anthony Hopkins is joined by Anne Hathaway and Jeremy Strong in this exceptionally honest and engaging familial drama that comments on generational aspiration, societal advantage, personal morality and looks at what happens when our social ideals are tested.

White Wall Cinema Presents - HAROLD & MAUDE - Alt. Valentine Special
2023-02-14 19:40 - 22:00
Famed counter-culture director Hal Ahsby who would go on to create a list of era defining classics including The Last Detail, Shampoo, Bound For Glory, Coming Home, and Being There, first rose to prominence with his unorthodox but heart-warming tale of two societal misfits. Both riotously morbid and joyously life-affirming it follows the friendship of the young well to do oddball suicide-faking Harold who is suffocated by his wealthy family’s societal expectations and his new companion the equally kooky soon to be octogenarian Maude who offers a bohemian and generous vision of life that gently coaxes Harold away from his existence of alienation. Initially a box office flop it has blossomed into one of THE true all time cult classics beloved by audiences and influencing the likes of Wes Anderson, Judd Apatow and Sophia Coppola. With its dark humour and earnest sentiment combined with brilliant direction, superbly charming performances, societal commentary and iconic Cat Stevens soundtrack, Harold & Maude makes for perfect alternative Valentine’s day viewing.

White Wall Cinema Presents - BLADE RUNNER - Screening + Discussion
2023-02-01 19:00 - 22:00
Master director Ridley Scott’s (Alien, Gladiator) ‘Final Cut’ of his moody, darkly elegant, philosophical Sci-Fi classic is the subject of our first White Wall Cinema discussion group evening. Join us for a screening of this classic Sci Fi with an optional chance to stay on and discuss the film’s many meanings in a relaxed informal post film chat with the aim of hopefully answering the long considered conundrum… ‘Do androids dream of electric sheep?’

Blade Runner’s tale of burnt out cop Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) reluctantly hunting down a rogue gang of dangerous escaped replicants (i.e. synthetic human like robots) who are said to be developing human emotions, still resonates with audiences enthralled by the film’s central theme, what does it mean to be human? This combined with its (often copied) extraordinary production design and stylisation of a rain soaked, dystopian, film noir style future Los Angeles has given it timeless appeal.

A slew of subsequent classics like The Matrix, Ex Machina, Seven and Ghost In The Shell owe their existence to Blade Runner which has thoroughly permeated every corner of popular culture, don’t miss your chance to see it on the big screen and then discuss this bonafide cult classic.

White Wall Cinema Presents - ELVIS: THAT'S THE WAY IT IS
2022-12-02 19:20 - 22:00
One of the most remarkable music films in cinema history, this special re-version of the 1970 documentary provides an intimate look at one of the most captivating performers of all time at the very peak of his powers. The film follows Elvis’s preparations for his emotional comeback to the stage after a decade long absence, with a wealth of behind-the-scenes footage, culminating in one of the most electrifying performances ever captured on film. Raw, gritty, re-energized and brimming with an almost alarming amount of natural charisma, That’s The Way It Is shows the humour, humanity and inescapable magnetic talent behind an iconic figure that has been lost to a distorted media caricature. Representing the musical maturation of Elvis’s artistry ahead of his later decline, this portrait of a musician in his prime still startles today. A must for lovers of live music, pop culture and Elvis fans alike, it provides the sorely missing piece of Baz Luhrmann’s recent ‘Elvis’ film that, try as it might, could never live up to undiluted brilliance of the real thing.

White Wall Cinema Presents - THE ILLUSIONIST
2022-11-28 19:30 - 22:00
Based on a story by the great Jacques Tati, the director of Bellville Rendevous / The Triplets of Bellville, Sylvain Chomet provides and exquisite follow up to his much-loved tale of a Tour De France racer. This time he focuses on an ageing magician who finds himself in a world more interested in rock stars than in illusionists, who befriends an innocent young girl in a tender tale of friendship, a voyage of discovery that makes room for the human capacity for wonder, even in an a largely indifferent world. This time set in London and Edinburgh, Chomet’s world is nothing short of a miracle of animation. So beautifully rendered is the environment and the tale of its protagonists The Illusionist is capable of making even the most jaded viewers dewy eyed at its sublime artistry and melancholy but uplifting story. Filled with gentle humour, clever set pieces, and human connection, it is in essence a cinematic act of love from a father to a daughter and a highly recommended must see on a big screen, in order to savour the details of what is one of the great animations of the last several decades.

2022-10-28 19:30 - 22:00
Music video director Mary Lambert famed for making 80s classic promos for the likes of Madonna, Eurythmics, and Janet Jackson hits the big screen for a horror classic to remember. When the Creed family move to a new home in Maine and meet friendly neighbour Jud Crandell (played by Fred Gwynne of The Munsters classic TV series) all seems well. Little do the family know that the creepy pet cemetery beside their house will lead to a wild series of occurrences after Crandell advises the family to bury their recently deceased cat there. Based on perhaps Stephen King’s most twisted concept Lambert fashions a film of familial terror stuffed with dodgy dialogue, preposterous plotting and genuinely chilling horror in what is a non-stop avalanche of Halloween movie entertainment.

Jazz Club: The Rebirth Octet Play Miles Davis' Birth of The Cool
2022-10-13 19:00
Join us in the heart of Brighton to experience Cool and West Coast jazz in a club style setting. This series of live events showcases the best of the UK’s jazz talent. Each concert’s gust star presents a themed tribute in intimate surroundings with licensed bar, delicious buffet menu and garden area.

“Chris Coull and the Rebirth Octet’s rendition of Miles Davis’ 1957 album ‘Birth of the Cool’ is far from just a note-for-note recreation.” Ivan Hewett – Daily Telegraph.

The Rebirth Octet was formed in 2021 by Brighton based musician Chris Coull. Taking the original 78rpm compositions by Miles, Gill Evans and Jerry Mulligan the music has been extended into more substantial charts that feature each of the Octet’s personnel, whilst staying true to the ensemble colour and harmony so distinctive of this seminal album which saw the dawn of the cool-school / West coast jazz era of the 1950’s.

Two of the UK’s finest exponents of modern jazz in Andy Panayi (alto saxophone) and Jim Rattigan (French horn) together with Chris Coull on trumpet lead the top end of these lush harmonic jazz tunes. They are complimented by the lower end of the horn section in Michael Pilley (trombone), Bob McKay (baritone sax) and Gabriel Garrick (sousaphone). Finishing off the group is a two-piece rhythm section of George Trebar (bass) and young gun Joe Edwards (drums).

Doors open at 7pm for show at 8pm. PLEASE NOTE UNFORTUNATELY DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND THE VENUE’S CONTROL, FOOD (APART FROM BAR SNACKS) WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR THIS PERFORMANCE.

Featuring a sea of complimentary characters and scenarios expertly placed to create the films freewheeling feel. One of the year’s best films, Licorice Pizza is an instant classic worth revisiting over and over again, casting a spell of nostalgia that delights, and confounds in the most brilliantly satisfying yet nuanced way.

Part of a long tradition of existential sci fi movies that includes the likes of Moon, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Blade Runner, Ad Astra, Silent Running and Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind. This underappreciated 2002 remake of Tarkovsky’s 70s sci fi classic is celebrating its 20th anniversary and is ripe for reappraisal. Helmed by noted director Steven Soderbergh (Sex Lies & Videotape, Out Of Sight, Traffic, Oceans 11, Contagion, Logan Lucky) and produced by super director James Cameron (Terminator, Aliens) it’s an elegant and streamlined approach to Stanisław Lem’s novel that tackles themes of loss, identity, and reality at the edge of the universe when recently bereaved psychologist Kris Kelvin (George Clooney) is sent to investigate strange goings on at a remote space station. Also starring Natasha McElhorne and Viola Davis don’t miss this thought provoking, tense, mesmerising, mysterious, visually breath taking film on the big screen

White Wall Cinema Presents - KLUTE
2022-06-20 19:40 - 22:00
A landmark in feminist cinema Klute is a thriller from All The President’s Men / Sophie’s Choice director Alan J. Pakula that features a groundbreaking and deeply intelligent central performance from Jane Fonda in what is easily the best role which earned her a Best Actress Oscar win. Alongside the ever great Donald Sutherland, Fonda plays high priced call girl Bree Daniels who assists Detective John Klute (Sutherland) in a missing persons case that clearly endangers her own life. Part of the great movement of American 70s paranoia thrillers, the movie is stolen by Fonda’s exceptional deep understanding of her character’s psyche as a call girl struggling to understand her life and motivations. A gripping performance that handily avoids cliche and fascinates throughout Fonda grabs the opportunity to upend lazy assumptions about female sex workers and create a fully formed multi layered character. A brilliantly atmospheric film worth seeing not only for it’s sensational take on the mood of Watergate era America but chiefly for its utterly heroic powerhouse performance by Fonda that will linger in your mind for many years to come

Fringe - Clean at 17 by Katie O'Brien

Friday 27th May; Clean at 17

Award-winning actress Katie O’Brien presents a fresh, funny, and taboo-smashing take on addiction and recovery. We’re familiar with stories of addicted pop stars to born again pimps but what does being 23 years clean really mean? Katie has been in a love-hate relationship with 12 Step fellowships and modern-day psychology’s take on addiction.

She has a few things to say about this and her lived experience through a series of skits, stories and oversharing. Hilarious, brutally honest, heart-warming and provocative; a one-woman show that challenges perceptions of recovering from addiction, pathologising humanity and the quest of self-discovery.
