SUMMARY:Café Scientifique: UK Food Security: Science & Politics
DESCRIPTION:Erik Millstone\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDOORS 7PM | SPEAKER 7.30PM \n\n\n\n\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! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease ensure you REGISTER prior to attending! \n\n\n\nRegister to Attend\n\n\n\nErik Millstone completed a first degree in Physics\, followed by 3 postgraduate degrees in Philosophy. He was appointed to teach the History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Sussex in 1973\, but in Spring 1974 read an article called ‘Death for Dinner’ in the New York Review of Books. His interest in food safety was ignited then\, since when he has vigorously pursued that interest. He was a co-author of the first proposals to establish a Food Standards Agency in the UK\, and now counts himself as one of agency’s critical friends. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this talk\, Erik Millstone will review several of the problematic features of food security not just in the UK\, but more widely too. He will explain why the pursuit of food security is both a scientific and a political problem\, and highlight some of the key ways in which science interacts with policy considerations. \n\n\n\nHe will explain why governments intervene in agricultural and food markets\, as they try to stabilise what would otherwise be volatile supplies and prices. He will outline how agricultural and food policies have evolved. He will highlight some of the ways in which scientific uncertainties complicate policy choices\, and illustrate some of the problems that remain unsolved.

SUMMARY:White Wall Cinema: All We Imagine As Light
DESCRIPTION:Topping numerous Film of the Year polls (BFI’s Sight & Sound\, The New York Times\, Film Comment\, AP)\, All We Imagine as Light is a luminous\, intricately woven portrait of the intersecting lives of three nurses living in Mumbai. Written and directed by Payal Kapadia in her fiction feature debut\, the film was selected for the Official Competition at the Cannes Film Festival\, where it was awarded the Grand Prix. \n\n\n\nAs much a tribute to Mumbai as it is a quiet critique\, the film follows three very different women who have left their homes in search of opportunity in the big city. Each contends with her own emotional and material struggles\, striving to build stability\, both financial and personal\, while questioning their relationships and navigating the pressures of a rapidly changing urban landscape shaped by gentrification and rising Hindu nationalism. \n\n\n\nA series of everyday yet nonetheless life-altering events unfold\, prompting each woman to gently shed the societal expectations placed upon them\, by others and by themselves. Lyrically told\, visually rich\, and suffused with atmosphere\, longing\, and gentle humour\, this is a deeply rewarding and delicately crafted work. Both beautifully nuanced and disarmingly simple\, it stands as a modern masterpiece. \n\n\n\n\nDOORS: 7.20pm*\n\n\n\nSTART TIME: 7.50pm*\n\n\n\nRUN TIME: 115 mins\n\n\n\nCERT: 15 (Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult).\n\n\n\n\n*Please note – doors open at 7.20pm\, Please try to allow extra time to get seated prior to the performance start time of 7.50pm. There will usually be no admittance from 20 minutes after the films stated start time. No hot food or alcohol from outside the premises is allowed. All alcoholic drinks consumed on the premises must be purchased from the bar as per the conditions of the venue’s licence \n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets & More Info

SUMMARY:White Wall Cinema: Cutter's Way
DESCRIPTION:Hailed by Time Out as “nothing less than a modern masterpiece\,” Cutter’s Way serves as the closing salvo in a lineage of taut\, politically charged thrillers such as All the President’s Men\, The Parallax View\, Three Days of the Condor\, and The Conversation. Empire magazine called it “a classy monument to the paranoia of post-Watergate America.” The film also fits neatly into the tradition of L.A. Neo-Noir cinema such as The Long Goodbye\, Chinatown\, Thief\, Body Heat\, Blue Velvet\, To Live & Die in L.A.\, L.A. Confidential\, Heat and even The Big Lebowski and Mulholland Drive. \n\n\n\nThe film features an exceptional performance by Jeff Bridges (Lebowski\, True Grit) as Richard Bone\, a laid-back gigolo who becomes entangled in a murder investigation after witnessing the body of a dead cheerleader dumped in a quiet Santa Monica neighbourhood. When his friends\, Cutter (Heard)\, a disabled Vietnam veteran\, and his intelligent\, grounded wife Maureen (Lisa Eichhorn – Yanks\, The Talented Mr. Ripley)\, learn about the murder\, Cutter channels all his obsessive\, unpredictable\, and paranoid energy into confronting the suspected culprit: a powerful local oil tycoon\, dragging the trio into an ever spiralling series of events. Portraying cynicism\, vulnerability\, and simmering anger all at once\, Heard is positively electrifying in the role\, and the entire film radiates with a unique neo-noir energy\, that makes it both the definitive final statement on the post-Watergate era and a primal scream against the erosion of the American dream. \n\n\n\nFinally restored in 4K\, Cutter’s Way is an engrossing\, unusual\, thrilling\, and intelligent murder mystery with sharp political undertones\, a landmark of American cinema that too few have experienced in all its glory. \n\n\n\n\nDOORS: 7.20pm*\n\n\n\nSTART TIME: 7.50pm*\n\n\n\nRUN TIME: 109 mins\n\n\n\nCERT: 15 (Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult).\n\n\n\n\n*Please note – doors open at 7.20pm\, Please try to allow extra time to get seated prior to the performance start time of 7.50pm. There will usually be no admittance from 20 minutes after the films stated start time. No hot food or alcohol from outside the premises is allowed.

SUMMARY:White Wall Cinema: But I'm A Cheerleader
DESCRIPTION:The queen of TV comedy directing\, Jamie Babbit\, has helmed multiple episodes of Gilmore Girls\, Malcolm in the Middle\, Ugly Betty\, The L Word\, Gossip Girl\, The Middle\, Girls\, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia\, Russian Doll\, and Only Murders in the Building. But it’s her legendary debut feature\, But I’m a Cheerleader\, a riotous lampoon of the lunacy of conversion therapy\, that remains her most beloved work. \n\n\n\nThe film follows Megan (Lyonne)\, who\, despite seeming like an all-American girl (jock boyfriend\, good grades\, and yes\, a cheerleader) finds her parents staging an intervention\, fearful she might be *shock horror* a lesbian. With the help of “ex-gay” Mike (RuPaul)\, she is carted off to the True Directions conversion therapy camp in the hope she can learn to be straight. But when she meets rebellious\, unashamed teen lesbian Graham (Clea DuVall)\, the camp’s mission quickly begins to unravel. \n\n\n\nA high-camp comedy filled with brightly coloured sets and boundless energy\, But I’m a Cheerleader is a tongue-firmly-in-cheek dissection of some of society’s less progressive attitudes toward sexuality and gender roles\, and one big\, glittery kick in the teeth to heteronormativity. Satisfyingly broad in its comedy\, this light-hearted satire has a surprisingly heartfelt emotional core\, with a charming cast gleefully embracing its low-budget indie spirit. It’s a vibe that has only grown in stature over time\, cementing the film as one of the key works that helped redefine lesbian cinema. \n\n\n\n\nDOORS: 7.30pm*\n\n\n\nSTART TIME: 8.00pm*\n\n\n\nRUN TIME: 92 mins\n\n\n\nCERT: 15 (Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult).\n\n\n\n\n*Please note – doors open at 7.30pm\, Please try to allow extra time to get seated prior to the performance start time of 8.00pm.

SUMMARY:White Wall Cinema: The Man Who Wasn't There
DESCRIPTION:Anchored by a superb ensemble including Billy Bob Thornton (Sling Blade)\, Frances McDormand (Fargo\, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing\, Missouri\, Nomadland)\, Scarlett Johansson (Lost in Translation\, Under the Skin)\, and James Gandolfini (The Sopranos)\, the film follows Ed Crane (Thornton)\, a taciturn\, almost nihilistic barber drifting through life in a small California town. His quiet routine is disrupted when a stranger offers him a dubious business opportunity requiring a significant investment. Suspecting his wife Doris (McDormand) of infidelity\, Ed seizes what he sees as a chance to blackmail her lover and secure the money. What follows is a slow\, inexorable spiral into a world of cruelty\, crime\, and existential uncertainty\, where each decision carries unforeseen and often devastating consequences. \n\n\n\nThe film feels like the perfect synthesis of the Coens’ longstanding preoccupations\, blending their signature jet-black humour with a hauntingly enigmatic crime narrative. Shot in luminous black and white by Roger Deakins (whose collaborations with the Coens and work on the likes of Blade Runner 2049 and 1917 rank among the most visually striking in modern cinema) it stands as a masterclass in neo-noir aesthetics. Complementing the imagery is Carter Burwell’s astonishing score\, arguably one of the finest film composers working today\, scoring all the Coens big hitters as well the likes of Being John Malkovich\, and the Twilight saga) this could easily be one of the best of his career\, lending the film a melancholic\, almost otherworldly tone. \n\n\n\n\nDOORS: 7.20pm*\n\n\n\nSTART TIME: 7.50pm*\n\n\n\nRUN TIME: 116 mins\n\n\n\nCERT: 15 (Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult).\n\n\n\n\n*Please note – doors open at 7.20pm\, Please try to allow extra time to get seated prior to the performance start time of 7.50pm.

SUMMARY:Brighton Fringe: Lovett
DESCRIPTION:Newly-widowed Mrs Lovett needs to find a way to survive. Using skills learned from a whaler father\, a courtesan mother and a butcher husband\, Eleanor “recalibrates” her life – and her relationship with God. \n\n\n\nAn origin story set before her infamous partnership with Sweeney Todd\, we discover what would later lead her to turn pie-maker. You may think you already know Mrs. Lovett\, but this new play explores what made her: the brutal choices and disappointments of a life in poverty. When the difference is life or death\, morality becomes a moveable feast – and Eleanor is getting hungry…BoonDog Theatre is a multi award-winning collaborative theatre company based in the Midlands\, creating exciting new character driven stories that start conversations that last long beyond the audience leaving the theatre. Their work is darkly comic\, aims for the heart\, and what they describe as “covertly political”. BoonDog Theatre are proud to be Associate Artists of the Royal and Derngate\, Northampton. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOne of the most relentless\, compelling pieces of work at the Fringe.  Broadway Baby\, ★★★★★ \n\n\n\nAn entirely disarming performance\, precise\, committed and unflinching. Binge Fringe\, ★★★★★ \n\n\n\nA masterful piece… a feast for fans of compelling solo performance.

SUMMARY:White Wall Cinema: Heartbreakers (1984)
DESCRIPTION:*** PLEASE NOTE DOORS OPEN AT 7.30PM SO YOU CAN ENJOY OUR BEER GARDEN PRIOR TO THE SCREENING*** \n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt Is Still 1985 Brighton’s legendary 80s party (every Saturday at Green Door Store) turns 18 this year. To celebrate the night ‘coming of age’ White Wall Cinema are collaborating with 1985 for a season of films called ‘Sex in the 80s’ which continues this May with forgotten 80s classic ‘Heartbreakers’.  \n\n\n\nVery obviously the key influence on Challengers (Luca Guadagnino’s 2024 ménage à trois tennis drama starring Zendaya\, Mike Faist\, and Josh O’Connor)\, this overlooked\, underseen\, tender and sexy buddy movie about two highly competitive male friends (on the racquetball court and off)\, both chronically unsuccessful in love\, is a true forgotten gem. Intelligent framing and lush\, sensual ’80s atmospherics blend with a raw\, confessional style to create something of a mini-masterpiece. \n\n\n\nBased on the personal experiences of director Bobby Roth\, Heartbreakers approaches its subject in the style of a European relationship drama while retaining all the textures of mid-’80s Los Angeles. It’s richly photographed by Michael Ballhaus\, a longtime collaborator of Rainer Werner Fassbinder and Martin Scorsese\, and scored by pioneering electronic group Tangerine Dream (Sorcerer; Thief; Risky Business). \n\n\n\n\nDOORS: 7.30pm*\n\n\n\nSTART TIME: 8.20pm*\n\n\n\nRUN TIME: 98 mins\n\n\n\nCERT: 18\n\n\n\n\n*Please note – doors open at 7.30pm\, Please try to allow extra time to get seated prior to the performance start time of 8.20pm. There will usually be no admittance from 20 minutes after the films stated start time. No hot food or alcohol from outside the premises is allowed.

SUMMARY:Brighton Fringe: The Maydays - Happily Never After
DESCRIPTION:The Maydays return to the Fringe with their 5-star improvised show – Happily Never After – a ‘darkly comedic’ twisted musical tale inspired by gothic themes\, fairytales\, and the warped imaginations that brought us Lemony Snicket\, Beetlejuice\, Shockheaded Peter and Grimm’s Tales. \n\n\n\nPlucked from the seed of your suggestion\, The Maydays will take you on a unique journey – weaving a gothic tale that’s completely different every time. There’s no telling what strange characters\, innocent beasts or talking objects you might meet along the way! \n\n\n\nThe Maydays have been wow-ing audiences across the UK and Europe\, with packed houses and standing ovations\, for their spontaneous show that Reviews Hub called “touching\, incredibly funny”\, and “rich in narrative twists and charm”. \n\n\n\nWith a bespoke\, improvised soundtrack for every show\, this will be a truly creepy\, mischievous and fantastical experience. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFantastic performances … improvisational theatre at its best.

SUMMARY:Brighton Fringe: Cohabitors
DESCRIPTION:Cohabitors explores the emotional terrain of shared living. Connection\, closeness\, conflict\, and the quiet isolation that can exist even when we live side by side. Through a performance blending acrobatics\, body percussion\, and live music\, we reflect on the tension between intimacy and disconnection in cramped\, high-pressure living situations. \n\n\n\nThe piece was inspired by moving to London for university. Stepping into a fast-paced city where high rent forces people to live in tight spaces. In these conditions\, minor issues can grow quickly\, and even small interactions carry weight. It asks: What does it really mean to live together? \n\n\n\nThis is Clamber’s first work combining circus\, live music\, and community-led storytelling. With backgrounds in classical music\, circus arts\, and digital sound\, our artists bring fresh perspectives that challenge convention and invite audiences to engage with circus in a new way. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDOORS 6.30pm | SHOW 7.00pm \n\n\n\n\nTICKETS / VENUE INFO / ACCESSIBILITY

SUMMARY:White Wall Cinema: Tender Mercies - Robert Duvall Tribute
DESCRIPTION:*** PLEASE NOTE DOORS OPEN AT 7.40PM SO YOU CAN ENJOY OUR BEER GARDEN PRIOR TO THE SCREENING*** \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDirected by multi–Academy Award\, Palme d’Or\, and Golden Globe–nominated filmmaker Bruce Beresford\, and based on an original screenplay by Pulitzer Prize–winning writer Horton Foote\, (who won Oscars both for this script and for his 1962 classic screen adaptation of To Kill a Mockingbird) this understated and deeply affecting film stands as an elegantly simple triumph. It also marks the only time Robert Duvall won an Academy Award\, taking home Best Actor at the 56th Oscars for this role. \n\n\n\nThe story is so compelling that it was\, in essence\, revisited in reverse with Crazy Heart\, starring Jeff Bridges (who won an Oscar for his role\, Duvall himself also appeared in the film). Where the 2009 film charts a descent into alcoholism\, this earlier 1983 made tale offers a path toward redemption. Mac Sledge\, a once-prominent country singer with a troubled past\, awakens after a night of heavy drinking on the floor of a roadside motel and resolves to change his life. What unfolds is a gentle\, reflective portrait of a man attempting to rebuild himself\, forming a bond with a young widow and her son\, reconnecting with his estranged daughter\, and confronting the lingering echoes of his former fame.  \n\n\n\nDuvall’s deft\, deeply felt performance transforms what could have been an overly sentimental narrative into a nuanced character study with lasting emotional resonance. The film’s authentic richly drawn characters\, and natural chemistry of the cast\, combined with a subtle touch of romance and a quietly inspirational\, bittersweet tone\, elevate this elegantly simple work. Powered by a superb\, Oscar-winning screenplay\, it remains a impressive testament to the strength of restrained storytelling and one of the finest achievements of Duvall’s remarkable career. \n\n\n\n\nDOORS: 7.40pm*\n\n\n\nSTART TIME: 8.30pm*\n\n\n\nRUN TIME: 92 mins\n\n\n\nCERT: PG (Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult).\n\n\n\n\n*Please note – doors open at 7.40pm\, Please try to allow extra time to get seated prior to the performance start time of 8.30pm.
