SUMMARY:Brighton Astro - Exploring the end of the dark ages
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Professor Stephen WilkinsUniversity of Sussex\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDOORS: 7.00pm\n\n\n\nLECTURE: 7.30pm\n\n\n\n\nRegister to Attend\n\n\n\n\n\nIn our current understanding\, our Universe emerged from an incredibly hot\, dense state roughly 14 billion years ago. While initially incredibly hot and full of light as the Universe expanded it cooled\, eventually becoming dark\, entering a period known as the “cosmological dark ages”. During this period dark matter and gas\, attracted by the force of gravity\, developed into structures\, eventually leading to the formation of the first stars and galaxies\, lighting up the Universe. This earliest period of galaxy formation is now accessible thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope (Webb). Webb not only allows us to identify examples of early galaxies but learn about their detailed physical properties. Webb has already thrown up surprising results including many more super-massive black holes in the early Universe than expected. \n\n\n\nStephen Wilkins is a Professor of Astronomy and Public Understanding of Science at the University of Sussex. Stephen obtained his Masters in Physics from the University of Durham before receiving his PhD from the University of Cambridge. Stephen then worked as a research fellow at the University of Oxford before joining the faculty at Sussex in 2013. Stephen’s main research focuses on understanding the formation and evolution of galaxies\, particularly the first stages in the distant early Universe. Outside his research Stephen is also a keen advocate of public understanding of science. \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 that sells alcohol.

SUMMARY:White Wall Cinema: LOVE LIES BLEEDING
DESCRIPTION:PLUS MYSTERY MOVIE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets & More Info\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWWC is back at the end of January by which time (let’s be honest) you will have given up on the gym membership you so enthusiastically bought at the beginning of the year. So why not let White Wall Cinema do the heavy lifting for you and provide some cinematic ‘gymspiration’ in the form of a muscular double bill starting with Rose Glass’s rippling queer revenge thriller Love Lies Bleeding followed by a magnificent (and no less ripped) mystery movie. \n\n\n\nA major step-up from Rose Glass’s Bafta Nominated 2020 debut ‘Saint Maud’ (Mark Kermode’s favourite film of that year) Love Lies Bleeding is a uber cool sapphic thriller starring Kristen Stewart as shy and reclusive gym manager Lou living in a rural town in New Mexico in the late 1980s. When she meets ambitious female bodybuilder Jackie (Katy O’Brian)\, who is en-route to her Vegas bodybuilding competition dreams\, romance immediately blossoms\, but is stopped in it’s tracks by the complications of Lou’s dangerous and criminal family headed by her ruthless gangster father Lou Sr (Ed Harris). \n\n\n\n This hyper stylised\, ultra horny revenge thriller splattered with flashes of violence and even a psychedelic horror edge is also blessed with a brilliant soundtrack and an excellent ensemble performance that all adds up to a rip(ped) roaring tale that pulls off the herculean feat of being both a crowd pleaser and a true piece of cult cinema. Join us for this brilliant Friday night screening that will be followed by another equally entertaining cult gem with a reputation as big as Katy O’Brian’s biceps. This mystery movie is really quite something\, an eye popping cinematic extravaganza not to be missed.    \n\n\n\n\nDOORS: 6.50pm*\n\n\n\nSTART TIME: 7.20pm*\n\n\n\nRUN TIME: 104 + 80 mins\n\n\n\nCERT: 15 (under 16s must be accompanied by an adult)\n\n\n\nPlease Note: There will be a short interval between the films but patrons will only be able to enter prior to the start of the first film.

By exploring how blood flow sustains brain function\, we will uncover its critical role in cognition\, aging\, and neurological disorders. You’ll learn how cutting-edge imaging techniques allow us to visualize and measure blood flow\, enabling early detection of conditions like stroke\, dementia\, and other brain diseases.With a focus on practical applications and future advancements\, this presentation highlights how understanding the brain’s hemodynamics can lead to better diagnostics\, targeted treatments\, and improved health outcomes. Designed for a general audience\, this talk offers a window into the intersection of neuroscience\, technology\, and health. \n\n\n\nDr Asllani is Associate Professor in Imaging Science at the University of Sussex. She graduated from the University of Tirana\, Albania\, with a degree in Theoretical Nuclear Physics. A two-time Fulbright Scholar\, she earned her Master’s degree in Microscopy and her Ph.D. in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance from the Bioengineering Department at the University of Washington\, Seattle\, USA. She spent the following decade at Columbia University in New York City\, where she spearheaded the Arterial Spin Labeling perfusion MRI program.Her primary research focuses on developing advanced MRI techniques to measure brain physiology in health and disease. Her recent work has expanded into multi-modal neuroimaging methods\, enabling comprehensive and quantitative assessments of brain function and metabolism.In addition to her research and teaching\, Dr Asllani serves as Vice Chair and Chair of the Advisory Board for the Consortium for Advancement of MRI Education and Research in Africa (CAMERA).

SUMMARY:White Wall Cinema: BRINGING OUT THE DEAD
DESCRIPTION:Christmas Special #2!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets & More Info\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClosing out the year much as we began it we are once again in the company of the world’s greatest living director Martin Scorsese (Raging Bull\, The King Of Comedy\, After Hours\, Goodfellas\, Casino\, The Departed\, Shutter Island\, The Wolf of Wall Street) who brings us this stealth adaptation of A Christmas Carol.\n\n\n\nSuffering from depression\, insomnia\, and occupational burnout\, paramedic Frank (Cage) finds himself botching patient care and experiencing ghostly hallucinations. Collapsing under the strain of the job we follow Frank across three consecutive New York City night shifts accompanied by three different paramedics (John Goodman\, Ving Rhames\, Tom Sizemore) dealing with the kind of late night wildness only The Big Apple can deliver\, his only salvation being a blossoming friendship with a recently treated patient’s daughter in the form of the ever brilliant Patricia Arquette.  \n\n\n\nOne of the most underrated films of Scorsese’s career it is directed with the all the virtuosity that one might expect from this true giant of cinema as well as being one of the more interesting works in his cannon\, fusing the ghosts of Christmas with the night time hellscape of his beloved New York during the holiday season. Manic\, poignant\, funny\, gothic\, spiritual and compulsively entertaining\, it’s entirely fitting as our White Wall Cinema Christmas special and final event of 2024.  \n\n\n\n\nDOORS: 7pm*\n\n\n\nSTART TIME: 7.30pm*\n\n\n\nRUN TIME: 121 mins\n\n\n\nCERT: 18

SUMMARY:White Wall Cinema: THE HOLDOVERS
DESCRIPTION:Christmas Special!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets & More Info\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBack at WWC again director Alexander Payne (responsible for the likes of Sideways\, The Descendants\, About Schmidt\, Nebraska and more) brings us his latest film in the form of this delightfully witty and touching Christmas tale. Infused with Payne’s trademark bittersweet tone this was one the year’s best reviewed film.\n\n\n\nA best picture nominee at this years Oscars the film’s leads came away with a clutch of awards including Best Actor for Paul Giamatti at the Golden Globes\, and Da Vine Joy Randolph who took home Best Supporting Actress gongs from the Critics Choice Awards\, The Baftas\, The Golden Globes\, New York Film Critics Circle and even earned herself an Oscar.  \n\n\n\n​The film takes place over the (perhaps not so) festive season at a snowy New England prep school in 1970\, where curmudgeonly classics teacher Paul Hunham (Giamatti) is handed the task of looking after ‘The Holdovers’ i.e. the boys at the boarding school who aren’t going home for Christmas. An unlikely connection is formed between the most intelligent but emotionally troubled of the boys Angus (Dominic Sessna)\, as well as the recently bereaved school cook Mary\, played with breath-taking skill and warmth by Da’Vine Joy Randolph. \n\n\n\nThis story of three shipwrecked people struggling to find meaning and indeed and any form of Christmas spirit is a masterclass in heartfelt\, intelligent and tender comedy. Easily one of the best films the year\, the studio bizarrely bungled it’s release putting it into cinemas AFTER Christmas. Easily the best Christmas movie of the last 20+ years it truly deserves to be watched on the big screen in the lead up to the big day as part of a new Christmas tradition given it’s pedigree as an instant classic.  \n\n\n\n\nDOORS: 7pm*\n\n\n\nSTART TIME: 7.30pm*\n\n\n\nRUN TIME: 133 mins\n\n\n\nCERT: 15 (Under 16s must accompanied by an adult)

SUMMARY:White Wall Cinema: AMERICAN MOVIE
DESCRIPTION:Tickets & More Info\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOne of the funniest\, most heartfelt and enjoyable documentaries of all time now celebrating it’s 25th anniversary ‘American Movie’ (winner of the Grand Jury Prize for Documentary at the 1999 Sundance Film Festival) centres on young Wisconsin filmmaker Mark Borchardt who along with friend Mike Schank are attempting to make low budget horror movie ‘Coven’. ‘Attempting’ being the operative word. Armed only with determination and a $3000 loan from his uncle\, a combination of mishaps\, mismanagement and sheer ineptitude lead to a catalogue of hilarious filmmaking disasters.\n\n\n\nHere director Chris Smith\, who went on to create a string of successful docs that include ‘Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond’ (the doc about Jim Carrey playing Andy Kauffman in Man On The Moon)\, ‘Fyre’ (about the failed Fyre Festival)\, ‘Sr’ (about Robert Downey Jr. and his father\, Robert Downey Sr)\, the recent 2023 Wham! doc and an upcoming 2024 DEVO doc. crafts one of the most beloved\, intimate and amusing docs of all time in ‘American Movie’. \n\n\n\n​This bittersweet doc about a would-be director and his bumbling but loyal friend is surprisingly funny\, touching and a real love letter to the burning sense of ambition that fuels every true filmmaker as well as a loving and joyous portrait of two hapless friends chasing their dreams.  \n\n\n\n\n\nAlso available is a discounted joint ticket for this screening and our September 24th screening of ‘Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker’s Apocalypse’. Charting the infamously over-budget out of control 1979 shoot of Francis Ford Coppola’s cinematic masterpiece Apocalypse Now. Encountering one monumental setback after another and fuelled by a burning desire to create something remarkable\, Hearts of Darkness is American Movie writ large\, and charts the very same filmmaking passion at the exact opposite end of the scale \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDOORS: 7.30pm*\n\n\n\nSTART TIME: 8pm*\n\n\n\nRUN TIME: 107 mins\n\n\n\nCERT: 15

SUMMARY:White Wall Cinema: NETWORK
DESCRIPTION:Nominated for 10 Oscars with a searingly sensational Oscar winning screenplay named by The Writer’s Guild of America as one of the 10 best ever written\, Paddy Chayefsky’s story of a TV news anchor who one day appears to have a nervous breakdown live on air whilst going on a fanatical rant\, and the subsequent fall-out\, is an all encompassing razor sharp satire about America and its media.\n\n\n\nThe New York Times labelled it “literate\, darkly funny and breathtakingly prescient… the greatest screenplay of the 20th century’. Impeccably acted by Peter Finch\, Faye Dunaway\, and Beatrice Straight (who all won Oscars for their roles) joined by William Holden and Robert Duvall\, directed by one of the all time greats in Sidney Lumet (12 Angry Men\, Serpico\, Dog Day Afternoon)\, Network is the benchmark by which all other media satires are measured. \n\n\n\n\nDOORS: 7.20pm*\n\n\n\nSTART TIME: 7.50pm*\n\n\n\nRUN TIME: 121 mins\n\n\n\nCERT: 15 (Under 16’s must be accompanied by an adult)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets & More Info

SUMMARY:White Wall Cinema: HOUSEKEEPING
DESCRIPTION:Perhaps Scotland’s greatest ever director\, Bill Forsyth is best known for his smash hit British films Gregory’s Girl and Local Hero\, but it’s perhaps his first American film that is his masterpiece.\n\n\n\nBased on the novel of the same name by Marilynne Robinson\, Housekeeping tells the story of two young girls who\, after the suicide of their mother\, find themselves in the care of their cheerful but decidedly odd aunt Sylvie who is\, at best\, barely tethered to social norms. The girls\, Ruth & Lucille\, have then to contend with\, not only their own relationship with Sylvie\, but also with the concerns of the well meaning but entirely conservative and perplexed residents of the small 1950s Pacific North-western town in which they live. Christine Lahti is exceptional as Sylvie and gives a sublime performance as the eccentric aunt who dares to step outside of the suffocating domesticity that faced women of the era\, ‘a woman slightly distracted by the possibilities of life’.  \n\n\n\nFilled with Forsyth’s off-beat but exceptionally humanist style\, Housekeeping is a wonderfully sad\, funny\, strange and accurate fable about life\, directed with exceptional skill\, grace and charm. A haunting comedy that will stay with you for many years to come.   \n\n\n\n\nDOORS: 7.30pm*\n\n\n\nSTART TIME: 8pm*\n\n\n\nRUN TIME: 116 mins\n\n\n\nCERT: PG (Under 16’s must be accompanied by an adult)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets & More Info

SUMMARY:Café Scientifique - The Neanderthal People of the English Channel: Adaptations and Extinctions
DESCRIPTION:With Dr Matt Pope\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDOORS: 7.15pm\n\n\n\nSPEAKER: 8.00pm\n\n\n\n\nIMPORTANT \nPlease ensure you REGISTER prior to attending! \n\n\n\n\nRegister to Attend\n\n\n\n\n\nLa Manche is the name we give to the Ice Age landscapes of the English Channel\, southern Britain and northern France. It has a record of early human behaviour which varies from isolated and difficult-to-interpret single artefacts through to rare sites preserving deep and rich accumulations of many thousands of finds. By interpreting these traces\, which include rare human remains\, we are able to tell a story of Neanderthal people from their earliest origins through to their apparent extinction. In this lecture we explore this record looking at Neanderthal culture through the lens of their adaptive success and consider in what ways their interactions with Homo sapiens may have led to their disappearance. \n\n\n\nMatt Pope is an archaeologist based at the UCL Institute of Archaeology. Leading on excavations in Britain and the Channel Islands\, he studies the Ice Age prehistory of northern Europe. His research tries to understand how early human cultures pushed at the limits of their range and how these adaptations underpinned our species success and the current challenges it faces. \n\n\n\nDoors and bar open 7:15pm

SUMMARY:White Wall Cinema: ONE FINE DAY
DESCRIPTION:+ LIVE Q&A WITH CORRINA ANTROBUS AUTHOR OF ‘I LOVE ROMCOMS & I AM A FEMINIST’\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for an evening celebrating and reappraising one of cinema’s most beloved but misunderstood genres\, the Romantic Comedy. On the night we’ll be hosting a special in person Q&A with author and film critic (Empire\, BBC Radio\, Huffington Post\, Total Film\, Channel 4’s Sunday Brunch)\, & founder of the Bechdel Test Film Fest\, straight from her event at London Film Festival\, Corrina Antrobus.\n\n\n\nIn her new beautifully illustrated book*\, she examines Rom Coms with a Feminist eye and highlights the (perhaps unexpectedly) positive contributions to feminism many of your favourites have made. From Harold & Maude to Notting Hill to Barbie\, we discuss her joyous Rom Com feminist manifesto\, followed by a screening of a true underrated gem of the genre\, ‘One Fine Day’.  \n\n\n\nThe film takes an almost classical 30s style romantic comedy approach fusing it with the aesthetics of a 1996 rainy New York as two working parents juggle kids and the corporate world. Led by two generational talents in Michelle Pfeifer and George Clooney (in full Cary Grant mode) it is a surprisingly witty affair with sharp dialogue and a refreshing honesty about parenthood and dating that all adds up to a big warm hug of a movie with a surprising dose of sophistication.  \n\n\n\n\n\n*Copies of the book will be available for purchase on the night \n\n\n\n\n\nTickets & More Info\n\n\n\n\nDOORS: 6.40pm*\n\n\n\nSTART TIME: 7.10pm*\n\n\n\nRUN TIME: 108 mins + Q&A\n\n\n\nCERT: PG (Under 16’s must be accompanied by an adult)

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Amber Shepherd\, University of Sussex\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDOORS: 7.00pm\n\n\n\nLECTURE: 7.30pm\n\n\n\n\nRegister to Attend\n\n\n\n\n\nThere is still a lot that we do not understand about our universe\, such as dark matter and dark energy.\n\n\n\nMuch of our understanding of dark matter comes from observations made from far out galaxies. We are building a very sensitive tabletop device to gather data which may help to answer some of these questions. This talk will explore what new physics tabletop experiments may uncover\, as well as the quantum technology we are setting up to search for dark matter. \n\n\n\nIf you would like to come along\, please register below.  \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\nFor this meeting we will be at Wagner Hall 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.

SUMMARY:White Wall Cinema: THE CROW
DESCRIPTION:HALLOWEEN SPECIAL\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets & More Info\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBefore Robert Pattinson’s take on ‘The Batman’ another winged avenger ruled the gothic grunge roost. Long held as a bona-fide cult classic\, the 1994 version of The Crow has recently begun to be re-evaluated for just how much influence it has had on modern cinema (especially Pattinson’s Batman/HBO’s Penguin). Starring Brandon (son of Bruce) Lee in his final role (Lee was killed in a tragic accident on the set of the movie) alongside other cult movie actors Ernie Hudson (Ghostbusters)\, David Patrick Kelly (Twin Peaks/The Warriors) and Tony Todd (Candyman)\, this dark pop culture masterpiece tells the tale of Eric Draven\, an rock musician who is resurrected from the grave exactly one year after his death (the day before his wedding to his fiancé on Halloween) so he can seek retribution on those who have wronged him\, which in this case just happens to lead to the city’s foremost crime syndicate. \n\n\n\nThe film is cleverly stylised and brilliantly shot by Dariusz Wolski\, a music video director for the likes of David Bowie\, Elton John\, Eminem and Sting. Wolski later became the go to cinematographer for the likes of Ridley Scott\, and Tim Burton\, fitting given the clear influences of Scott’s Blade Runner and Burton’s 1989 Batman on show here. The film’s tragic story in-front of and behind the camera are the stuff of 90s goth legend\, and the film has become a true pop culture landmark and a big influence on the future of popular cinema. Disastrously re-booted in 2024 with IT star Bill Skarsgård and FKA Twigs\, this original 1994 film version is infinitely superior and still stands as one of the best dark comic book adaptations ever made. Join us for this very special Halloween night screening. \n\n\n\n\nDOORS: 7.30pm*\n\n\n\nSTART TIME: 8pm*\n\n\n\nRUN TIME: 102 mins\n\n\n\nCERT: 18

SUMMARY:White Wall Cinema: GLORIA (1980)
DESCRIPTION:Tickets & More Info\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOriginally announced by us back in May\, this screening now becomes an unintended tribute to the great Gena Rowlands who sadly passed away on August 14th of this year. One of the great actresses of her\, or indeed any other generation\, starring in films such as Woody Allen’s Another Woman and Jim Jarmusch’s Night on Earth.\n\n\n\nThis gem of a movie is the product of Rowland’s husband and collaborator John Cassavetes. A renowned actor himself (Rosemary’s Baby\, The Dirty Dozen)\, Cassavetes was also a revered writer / director and considered a true filmmaker’s filmmaker creating such uncompromising classics as Husbands and The Killing of a Chinese Bookie. But for both Rowlands and Cassavetes it was their husband & wife collaborations that would become their most successful ventures with dense but highly rewarding masterpieces like Opening Night and A Woman Under The Influence. This film was initially designed by Cassavetes’s as a commercial script to sell to a major studio for others to make\, but when Rowlands was cast\, Cassavetes’s could no longer resist taking on directorial duties. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDOORS: 7.10pm*\n\n\n\nSTART TIME: 7.40pm*\n\n\n\nRUN TIME: 122 mins\n\n\n\nCERT: 15\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n​

SUMMARY:White Wall Cinema: WATERWORLD
DESCRIPTION:‘THE ULYSSES CUT’\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets & More Info\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWWC is proud to present a very special screening of the fabled ‘Ulysses Cut’ of the much maligned 90s Kevin Costner ‘Mad Max\, but on water’ blockbuster Waterworld. Attacked viciously in the press even BEFORE it’s release due to reported production problems and a ballooning budget of what\, at the time\, became the most expensive movie ever made\, the film has (rather incorrectly) become synonymous with monstrous financial disaster.\n\n\n\nCut to ribbons by the studio in a panic to try to salvage something from the reputation the press had given it before even seeing it\, huge chunks of character development\, some of the film’s best sequences and the films pacing were lost\, giving way to a confusing choppy theatrical cut. Eventually in the years that followed more expansive (but censored for TV) versions surfaced on American TV\, and over the intervening decades footage was cribbed from these by fans\, and cobbled together into an infamous ‘Ulysses Cut’ that spread around film fans online. Finally now restored in it’s full uncensored\, original length glory (restoring some lost 40 minutes of scenes) the official ‘Ulysses Cut’ represents the definitive version of this lost epic blockbuster that now comes across as Mad Max directed by Terry Gilliam. \n\n\n\n\nDOORS: 6.50pm*\n\n\n\nSTART TIME: 7.20pm*\n\n\n\nRUN TIME: 178 mins\n\n\n\nCERT: 12 (Under 16’s must be accompanied by an adult)

SUMMARY:Brighton Café Scientifique - Glass fibre composites - a new ‘forever material’?
DESCRIPTION:With Dr Corina Ciocan\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDOORS: 7.15pm\n\n\n\nSPEAKER: 8.00pm\n\n\n\n\nIMPORTANT \nPlease ensure you REGISTER prior to attending! \n\n\n\n\nRegister to Attend\n\n\n\n\n\nOver the past 80 years\, glass reinforced plastic boats (GRP or composite boats) have become a mainstay of the boating industry while little attention has been given to the consequences of GRP degradation or boat disposal. Recent studies reveal widespread glass fibre pollution in heavily trafficked waterways while research and policy lag behind. With over one million GRP boats reaching the end of their life each year\, disposal and recycling solutions that protect aquatic life and human health are urgently needed. \n\n\n\nA marine biologist\, Corina Ciocan’s expertise is in Ecotoxicology (the impact of environmental stressors on aquatic organisms). She has been a Principal Lecturer at the University of Brighton since 2012; prior to this\, Corina was a full-time Researcher at the University of Sussex\, part of the Aquatic Toxicology group. She is involved in a wide range of national and international research programmes\, with focus on aquatic contamination. She has published scientific articles and books and her studies have been heavily referenced in numerous publications and television programs around the world. She is considered a pioneer in efforts to highlight coastal degradation\, but also the lack of environmental protection legislation. \n\n\n\nDoors and bar open 7:15pm

SUMMARY:Waterstones: An Evening With Florence Given
DESCRIPTION:DOORS – 6.15pm\n\n\n\nEVENT – 7.00pm\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\nFollowing her sold out ‘Girlcrush’ event from last year\, Florence Given returns to Brighton Waterstones to discuss her much anticipated new book\, ‘Women Living Deliciously’. \n\n\n\nIn ‘Women Living Deliciously’\, Florence encourages us to fall in love with our lives and uncover the sense of wonder in ourselves that has been buried by shame\, perfectionism and self-objectification. \n\n\n\nShe believes that for too long we have internalised the belief that our bodies are things to be looked at\, rather than lived in; that it’s embarrassing to fully express ourselves; that we cannot trust the parts of ourselves that are so full of desire. \n\n\n\nThis book will unpack the many barriers women face when trying to access joy so that they can discover the delicious life that’s theirs for the taking. \n\n\n\nPlease note: the Book & Ticket option includes a copy of Women Living Deliciously (RRP. £20.00) which will be available for collection on the night.

SUMMARY:White Wall Cinema: RIDDLE OF FIRE
DESCRIPTION:Tickets & More Info\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDubbed ‘The coolest debut from Cannes’ by AnoOther Magazine\, Riddle of Fire is a totally unique cinematic experience that follows three renegade kids who tear across the rolling hills of Wyoming in a mythical quest for Blueberry Pie in order that they might be allowed to play a stolen video game.\n\n\n\nDelightfully odd and very cool\, Riddle of Fire is Hayao Miyazaki\, Twin Peaks\, Zelda\, Home Alone\, Dungeons & Dragons\, Robin Hood\, The Brothers Grimm and more\, all rolled into one tale of dirt bike riding paintball gun toting outlaws with a heavy dose of folklore with witches in the woods and fairies in the trees\, all set in the American mid-west. \n\n\n\nAs Variety Magazine wrote: ‘Its deadpan comedy and surreal feel — somewhere between “Escape to Witch Mountain\,” “Scooby-Doo” and “Napoleon Dynamite” — make it equally appealing to kids\, Gen Xers\, stoners\, Adult Swim watchers and fans of cult indie cinema’. \n\n\n\n​Appealingly all shot on 16mm to create a ‘dark 70s kids Disney Sci-Fi vibe’\, and layered with one of the coolest soundtracks in recent memory by some of the best ‘dungeon synth’ artists (yes\, apparently that’s a thing)\, it’s an achingly cool\, but entirely heartfelt ode to long summers of childhood mischief\, as well as lo-fi fantasy ‘dust’ epics of the 70s and 80s. \n\n\n\n\nDOORS: 7.00pm\n\n\n\nSTART TIME: 7.40pm\n\n\n\nRUN TIME: 113 mins\n\n\n\nCERT: 12 (Under 16’s must be accompanied by an adult)

SUMMARY:White Wall Cinema: DRIVE AWAY DYKES
DESCRIPTION:Tickets & More Info\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen the free spirited Jamie (Margaret Qualley – Once Upon A Time In Hollywood\, Poor Things) breaks up with her girlfriend (Beanie Feldstein – Ladybird\, Booksmart) she decides it’s time to take her demure (possibly uptight) housemate Marian (Geraldine Viswanathan – Hala\, Bad Education) on a road trip to Tallahassee. \n\n\n\nBut things do not go as planned when the two inadvertently get tangled up in a ludicrous criminal plot that involves everyone from Pedro Pascal to Colman Domingo to Matt Damon. This quickfire little gem of a star studded queer road trip movie combines both that familiar off beat Coen Brothers feeling we all know and love as well as delivering a fresh\, slickly delivered\, cheerfully trashy B-movie vibe\, with lots of goofiness and lots of sex. \n\n\n\n\nDOORS: 7.30pm*\n\n\n\nSTART TIME: 8pm*\n\n\n\nRUN TIME: 84 mins\n\n\n\nCERT: 15 (Under 16’s must be accompanied by an adult)
